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 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

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

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.”

Tim Bitici Talks about His Strong Bonding with Shannen Doherty

Tim Bitici is a celebrity stylist and Shannen Doherty is one of his many celebrity clients. Apart from the professional relationship they have, they are good friends too. Tim says, “Shannen and I never get annoyed or tired of being around each other because we are so comfortable around one another and we’re okay with silence. We don’t feel the need to talk every second of the day, especially in the morning!”

Tim Bitici met Shannen on a shoot where he was the stylist. He says that he was excited and at the same time, scared when he got an offer for working with Shannen. After all, she is his inspiration to become a stylist. He said, “I can remember Shannen’s character Brenda Walsh has always been my favorite, not to mention somewhat of an inspiration for me to become a Stylist. I remember the episode that Brenda wore a white dress paired with black, rugged combat boots and I thought she was so cool and that look rocked. I was in Junior High School and right then and there I thought to myself that I wanted a career in Fashion.” When Tim walked on the set, all his worries were over. He found Shannen to be funny and friendly. From that instance, their friendship grew stronger and stronger.
