The Masterclass

The Stylist's Masterclass

A monthly membership for stylists ready to build a career, not just a client list.

A note from Ivanna

After years styling celebrities, runway shows, and global campaigns, I can tell you what the styling schools won't: the talent isn't what's stopping most stylists. The industry is opaque on purpose. The rooms you need to walk into, the brands that pick up when you call, the rhythms of how a real celebrity styling career gets built. Nobody teaches it.

So I'm teaching it.

The Masterclass is the playbook I've built over fifteen years in fashion. The relationships, the etiquette, the systems, the conversations. Everything I wish someone had handed me at the beginning.

"The rooms aren't gatekept by talent. They're gatekept by knowing."

For the stylist who's ready.

For the assistant ready to be the lead.

For the freelancer building from her bedroom.

For the stylist who's been doing the work and not getting the credit.

For anyone who can see the career and just needs the map.

Four weeks. The full playbook.

Each cohort runs four weeks. Every week is one focus area, delivered through video lessons, live workshops, and homework you'll actually use.

WEEK 01

The Importance of Networking

The fashion industry runs on relationships, not résumés. Your career is built less on what you know and more on who picks up when you call. Week one is about understanding why networking matters, how to do it without feeling transactional, and how to position yourself as someone worth knowing.

  • Leveraging social interaction to build a career
  • Positioning yourself as a celebrity stylist before you have celebrity clients
  • Establishing your personal brand
  • Using social media to land work
  • Which fashion events to attend, and what to walk away with
WEEK 02

Industry Relationships

Showing up at the right event is only the beginning. Week two is about turning introductions into long-term industry relationships with brands, designers, PR teams, and the gatekeepers who decide what gets pulled and what doesn't.

  • How to outreach to brands and designers
  • Maintaining relationships for long-term success
  • Understanding the industry hierarchy and how it actually works
  • Upcoming designers worth following before they break
  • Working with PR showrooms and developing partnerships
WEEK 03

Styling Ability and Skill

Talent gets you in the room. Discipline keeps you in it. Week three is the practical craft, plus the self-management and operational chops that separate working stylists from the rest of the field.

  • Self-management: time, expectations, confidence
  • Styling etiquette: regular clients versus high-value celebrities
  • Building a small team and using it well
  • Sourcing clothes and working with high-end affiliates
  • Industry pull: making things happen on a 24-hour deadline
  • Nurturing client relationships so they come back
WEEK 04

Celebrity Styling Project

The capstone. You'll walk through a real celebrity styling project from initial concept to final fitting, with feedback on your decisions at every step. By the end of the four weeks, you'll have done the work, not just heard about it.

  • Full project brief
  • Concept development and mood direction
  • Sourcing, pulls, and fittings
  • Final feedback from Ivanna
