The Stylist’s lookbook

by Darryl on October 30, 2009

If you are a stylist who is looking for clients or work, you definitely need a Lookbook. As you may know, a lookbook is a compilation of photos that shows off your abilities and creative juices. Having an online lookbook is your starting line to engaging clients and teaching them about who you are and why you should style them.

Your Clashe lookbook is your portfolio where you can clearly show the world your best work. Feel free to add clips of client pictures, press pieces, media placements; anything that will help your guests understand you. All of these elements create confidence in you as a person and a professional.

As is the case with any business, it is important to craft your message to your audience. Here are a few ways you can use your Clashe lookbook to address their concerns.

Even two or three will get you started and as you gain more experience and exposure, you can easily add to it. The most important thing is that today you create your lookbook and start promoting yourself.

Darryl had a problem. He needed to find clothing that was relevant to him, appropriate for where he was going, popular and affordable. He couldn’t find an answer on Google, Wikipedia, Dictionary.com or Flickr. So he started building Clashe.
