My name is Josephine Herfst and I am a freelance fashion stylist currently based in Amsterdam.
I have been doing styling for myself since August 2019 for real, I’ve done it before but never took it as serious as I have since then.
In a short period of time I have done a lot of shoots with a lot of very amazing people who I love and trust to work with over and over again. I’ve met a lot of very interesting and beautiful people since I’ve started my Freelance career.
When I was 18 years old I assisted a great stylist in The Netherlands, her name is Simone Dernee, we did shoots for some big dutch magazines like Linda Magazines, Elegance, Harpers, so on and so on. I was her assistant for about 6 months.
After that I auditioned for the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, I got in and was super stoked about it. But after a year of very hard work I decided it wasn’t for me. I have so many interests and I wanted to figure that out first.
I worked at restaurants since I was 15 aso I just continued that and tried to figure out what it is I wanted. Went to study Creative Business, which was very bad, but! The plus side was that I got back into styling, and it took me where I am today.
Right now I’m in school for Music Management in Utrecht just cause I love music and the music business a lot and wanted to learn more about it.
I’m interning at a record label called “Need Recordings” until February here in Amsterdam, after that I want to put a hold on my studies for a little while and broaden my horizon in London.
I’d love to work somewhere where I’m being challenged in my creative mind and where I get to meet a lot of people. I of course want to keep on shooting and connect with people who’d like to work with me.
Hit Me UP!

I have only entered for one year, I think I was too young and just didn't know what I wanted back then. I have a lot of interests still but I know my heart lays with Fashion Styling and Editorials.
