Fashion Rolodex
Cell phone
Digital camera
Polaroid camera and film
Appointment book

A stylist’s job involves lots of trekking around and hauling bags of clothing and accessories to the shoot. Make a list of all the stops needed to pick up all the clothes and accessories from various showrooms and stores.
Step
2
Keep a log of all your contacts to help with the returns after the shoot is over.

Once you've picked up everything for the shoot, bring it back to the studio to be organized before transporting it to the shoot. Hang up all the clothes on the clothing racks, and line the shoes up in an orderly manner. Make it easy for the editor and photographer to select the outfits that the models will wear.
Step

Once the editors are done with the run-through and have selected all the clothes, shoes and accessories for the shoot, Polaroid the looks and organize them on the rack with the Polaroid attached to the plastic pull-string bag that holds the shoes for each outfit. This organizes the outfits for quick reference at the shoot.

Steam out all the clothing to iron out all the wrinkles before the model puts them on.
