Tim says that his journey in the fashion world has been long and difficult, but it has been totally worth the struggle. He faced a multitude of challenges and obstacles during his journey before achieving recognition for his work. Tim says that the world of fashion seems glamorous from the outside, but that notion is far from reality because of the amount of work involved for stylists to make a name for themselves. Tim advises that the best path to success for up and coming stylists is to spend lots of time assisting an already known or established stylist - this will help new stylists gain the knowledge and experience required to work in the fashion industry.



For Tim Bitici, the best part about his job is shooting in different locations around the globe and getting a chance to meet new people. Tim says “ one of the most amazing settings is a shoot being done under the roof, a storm spurring in the background, and a beautiful model. It is this type of shot that is totally worth the risk. “

Tim Bitici is a fashion stylist and educator to all who want to dress better. He has a distinctive personal style that is followed by many.

Tim Bitici loves Paris the city that offers fashion and passion. He says that it is the only city that has best-dressed women. They experiment with styles and flaunt chunky accessories, it’s like madness of fashion in that city where each woman looks stylish and chic. Tim says no one can teach you style, it is absorbed from things around us. All one needs is inspiration that is everywhere is in the City Street, the gardens, flea markets, fashion magazines, etc. Fashion is not buying latest trends and styles it requires balancing and proper thinking what will suit you and what not.

Tim Bitici Gives Tips For Beginners In the Fashion World

Tim Bitici is a well-known fashion stylist who has worked with several international stars and models. He says being a stylist is not a piece of cake it is demanding and requires a lot more that just picking clothes. Fashion is not merely glamour, it requires a keen eye for details, and an appreciation of the latest trends and fashions. You can’t just pick any outfit for your client or for a photo-shoot it has to look good and go with the concept. A stylist has to meet the specific demands and take care of the entire look that makes his clients look sexy yet understated.

Tim Bitici

Tim advises beginners that they have to face many hurdles to reach at a point where they get noticed. Working under a well known fashion stylist is a great way to gain, grasp and gather as much knowledge possible. We always judge others by their first look and what they are wearing. Choose the look you want to give to your clients. Model the “idea” of the clothes as it will help to make a good foundation and leave an impression. It is must for a stylist to do research and put in effort for the entire look so that all those whom they dress up look noticeably fashionable.

Tim Bitici

Tim Bitici travels a lot to different places to gain an insight and inspiration from things all around. These help him to work with a more clear approach and create better fashion styles. He does not have a role model nor does he follows a particular designer, but he loves the old school styles of the 90’s. He likes celebrities like Rihanna that are original and make their own rules of style. “She does not blindly follow trends, and she wears what looks good on her and enhances her appeal.” To find out more, browse through www.timbitici.com
