He is currently working as Contributing Lead Stylist at Henri Bendel New York, Amazon New York, Nordstrom Seattle and Harrods London. He has 10+ years of experience in the fashion world. Recently, in an interview, he was asked to share some of his experiences while at work. He said, “I've shot in hurricanes in Hawaii, in monsoons in Mexico but always made it work. The shoot always came together someway, somehow. We shoot under roofs etc with the background in the image of a beautiful storm and a beautiful model.”

When asked about favorite assignment, Tim Bitici replied, “My favorite jobs are the editorials overseas. I love traveling with an entire crew, all set out together to create beauty. It's an amazing thing. An orchestra of talent comes together in a foreign country. That makes it all worth it.” He added, “My bucket list of a place to shoot is Cuba. Because it seems so cultured and so beautiful and so hard to get to! We always want we can have I suppose.”

Tim Bitici does not like when the clients want to see the clothes styled before the shoot. He says, “My biggest industry pet peeve is when clients want to see the clothes styled before the shoot. I don't like that. I need to see the girl. I need to direct the hair and makeup and the lighting with the photographer then take it from there. Trust is important. Trust that the stylist you hired will deliver what you need while maintains your corporate identity. I am a champion at that.”
