One of my life goals is to become a fashion stylist for professional athletes, especially those in football and basketball. Additionally, I aspire to collaborate with renowned sports brands such as Adidas, Nike, Puma, New Balance, and many more. This includes working with magazines that often feature your favorite athletes on their front pages.
While waiting to be noticed by these brands and athletes, I decided to start practicing in preparation for the real thing. I reached out to my good friend Ben and asked if he could model for me, as he was the closest person to achieving my goal.
Below, you can see the process, including the mood board, magazine inspiration, and the final looks. Being multi-faceted, I took on the roles of stylist, creative director, producer, and photographer.
Styling Ben during this time confirmed to me that this is what I want to pursue in the future. It reaffirmed that my burning desire to style athletes and collaborate with sports brands is not just a passing whim; I genuinely live for these things, and I am passionate about this career path.
