The Misa Hylton Fashion Academy has helped me learn what it really entails to be a professional fashion stylist. The academy showed me that this is a business and you can have longevity and have fun while doing what you love!

For those seeking a career in fashion styling I highly recommend enrolling and taking all courses at the “Misa Hylton Fashion Academy”. I already had a good amount of knowledge and previous experience in the realm and world of the fashion industry coming from the apparel sales side as well as the entertainment side. I honestly went back and forth for some time asking myself, “what more could I possible obtain by attending this academy that I already didn’t know?” I soon made my decision and decided to attend the academy because I figured I definitely didn’t have anything to lose but more so to gain and it was one of the best decision I’ve made in terms of continuing to perfect my craft in styling. I went from thinking I knew all about the fashion industry and how “easy” styling was to actually learning the craft from one of the most influential stylists. Learning from one of the original architects of styling of our generation was a priceless experience.

From the time Ms Hylton started breaking ground and paving the way for many of the fashion moments and styles we recreate today, I looked up to her as a style icon. I remember as a child declaring that one day I would work with the girl with the platinum “Chung Li” buns (from the Bad Boy recording artist, Notorious BIG’s video “Big Poppa”) Let it be the grace of God and the power of the law of attraction, that I was blessed with the chance of not only meeting her but to be taught by her! Ms Hylton and MHFA have given me a platform to showcase my passions, all while learning from the best of the best. We are not only a Style Squad, we’re a family. There’s no better feeling than knowing that while we’re out here trying to make it, Ms Hylton always has our backs!

I’m 22 years old now. At the age of 15 I was signed to Seventeen Magazine as a model. This opportunity transitioned into an opportunity to become a stylist intern dressing the models, pulling clothes from the coveted Seventeen Magazine fashion closet and prepping shoots but most importantly creating story boards for what was in season. I chose to go to the Misa Hylton Fashion Academy to get hands on knowledge about the industry so I may further my career as a truly respected professional. At the end of my MHFA course I did my first big test shoot with my very own image! I am still growing as a fashion stylist and I am focused on my fashion career. With Ms. Hylton by my side guiding me on the in’s and outs I have no worries! Sky is the limit!
