Streaming services and social media's effect on the career of fashion stylists

Getting paid to style pop stars on music video sets or pulling the latest designer gowns for actresses to dawn on the red carpet; this sounds like a dream job for any fashion aficionado, right?

Fast forward to the present, every “look” we see on celebrities from airport fashion to off-duty street style is micromanaged by a stylist and often on a tighter styling budget than before. Factors such as social media and the popularity of content streaming platforms are influencing the ever-changing role of a fashion stylist.
