Show shoots per year, clients by type, budgets and a portfolio link.

Why Olivia suits a fashion stylist resume
Olivia prints a full-width blue header band, then summary, skills and experience. Styling is a visual, confident profession, and the strong header fits while the single column keeps shoot counts and client types easy to read.
Second choice: Daniel. Daniel uses rounded headings and skill pills, a fit for stylists with many tools and specialties.
What goes in each section, in Olivia's order
Olivia prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Professional Summary. Styling types (editorial, e-commerce, campaign, personal), years of experience and client types.
- Skills. Styling types, wardrobe sourcing, fitting, set work and tools.
- Work Experience. Bullets on shoots per year, clients, budgets, wardrobe pulls, on-set work and personal client results.
- Education. Fashion degree or courses with the year.

Frequently asked questions
What should a fashion stylist resume focus on?
Shoot volume and types, clients, budgets, on-set work and your portfolio. Brands and agencies want stylists who deliver the look on time and on budget. Put your strongest work near the top.
Do I need a portfolio?
Yes. Most clients hire stylists from their portfolio, and the resume supports it. Credit photographers and teams on each image.
How do I list freelance work?
As one job under your name or business, with client types, volume and the kinds of shoots you do. Name public clients only with permission.
How do I move from assistant to lead stylist?
Show shoots where you led the styling, clients you brought in and budgets you managed. Test shoots that you style yourself also build a portfolio. Ask lead stylists you assist for a reference, because clients often check.
Is this template right for personal stylists?
Yes. Lead with private clients, repeat bookings and services such as closet edits and shopping, and keep client names private. Repeat bookings and referrals are the best proof of results here.
How long should the resume be?
One page. Let the portfolio show your style.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Olivia PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 4 section headings and all 8 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
