LCS Student Spotlight with Alexandra Favilli

Tell us a little about yourself!

Hi, I am Alexandra Favilli, I have graduated from LCS as a fashion & personal stylist.
Before LCS I was a graphic designer in France but I knew since my young age that I wanted to be a stylist. LCS gave me the confidence to follow my dreams.

 

What inspired you to want to become a stylist?

I like to make people feel good! Whether it is to make them happy with new clothes that suit them or by creating a magic universe, as I would do for a fashion editorial. My dream is to make life more beautiful for all.

 

What styling experience did you have before starting your course with LCS?

I have been Marie Revelut’s assistant. Marie is a Fashion editorial stylist based in Paris, and I have been assisting her on daily basis with shoot preparation, moodboards, PR pulling and returns. 

How did you find out about LCS?

I have met Monica Huaza, an LCS trained personal stylist, in Boston that recommended LCS. Six months later and after few calls with Wendy, I was starting the Foundation fashion and personal stylist diploma.

 

What has been your proudest moment as an up-and-and coming stylist so far?

So far, it was probably styling a Little Mix performance for a live X Factor show.

 

Which area of styling are you most passionate about?

I first considered editorial styling as my career path. But I have to admit that after my LCS training I also quite enjoy personal styling and the joy that brings to people, it’s a really rewarding part of a stylist job as you make a more personal impact.

 

What task during your time at LCS did you find the most challenging?

The work opportunities! For example, during the London fashion week – you meet a lot of new people, you have to work with and adapt to everyone. It’s quite challenging but also really exciting.

 

Where do you see yourself in 2-3 years time?

I would love to be an editorial stylist and be able to work with a lot of different clients.
And why not have few clients as a personal stylist? I think I would really enjoy the balance between editorial & personal styling.

 

What advice would you give to the next term students at LCS?

Go for it and say yes to every single opportunity that you can catch.
