‘The course was fantastic in teaching you how the industry works.  The Advanced Diploma really shows you how to apply your skill, leaving you with the confidence to launch your career successfully going forward, with a foot in the door already with tonnes of industry know -how and contacts, which is truly invaluable’

Maria Cristina Alvarez – Editorial Styling Advanced Diploma

What’s amazing about this course is that you get the opportunity to see your work published online and in print for fabulous publications that can normally take years to achieve.  I was delighted to see my coursework published in Schon Magazine amongst others while on the course.

Dechen Tashi – Advanced Diploma Graduate

Thanks to LCS I have been able to work as an agent at international fashion styling agency Jed Root.  I now have so many contacts and relationships with well respected people in the industry. Thank you London College of Style.

Jed Root

Alice Joy Mountford – Advanced Diploma Graduate

The advanced editorial course definitely helped me in really elevating my existing editorial skills.  Before the course I knew nothing about the role of editorial but since finishing the course I have had three stories which are were published on front covers and three of which are in print already, so it works.

Sasha Hilton – Advanced Diploma Graduate

I was very happy with how the course is structured.  You get a great insight into the professional working life of an editorial stylist and the different avenues you can take including commercial and even fashion writing elements.  The  industry contacts list that we were given with brands and PR that we could work with was just great

Eva Maria Santner – Advanced Diploma Graduate

The Advanced Editorial course at LCS has been invaluable for me. I can say with full confidence it is everything it claims to be ,and I am sure that by the time I complete this course, I will know all that there is to know in order to pursue editorial styling as a career & will be respected as a freelance stylist. I am now working for Net-a-Porter.

Sasha Hilton – Advanced Diploma Graduate

If you are looking for a course to exceed your expectations, the Editorial Styling Advanced Diploma definitely met and exceeded all mine!  The intensive schedule and clear expert guidance from Dan and the tutoring team really pushed me to higher level in a short time. The course definitely opened my view on my stylist career and took my editorial styling skill to impressive professional level. I strongly suggest that everyone who wants to be part of this industry should attend this course.
