What is the role of a stylist? How do you get into styling for a living? And why do so many fashion students aspire to a job that involves so much physical work, endless admin and shoot stamina not to mention the indepth referencing, brand relationships and constant creative enthusiasm that the job demands?

In this episode of FUTURE NOW, iD follows 3 stylists to find out exactly how to create a timeless image, runway show or fashion shoot.

In NYC, Sydney Rose Thomas pulls together a shoot featuring upandcoming New York designers with her photographer friend and 'collaborating force', Deirdre Lewis. Elsewhere, Japanborn, Londonbased stylist Ai Kamoshita travels to Paris to work on a show during Fashion Week, and Lana Jay Lackey launches a zine with Rick Owens, the dark lord of luxury fashion.

Would you want to be a stylist? What makes you want to work in fashion?
