ARE YOU STYLISH?
Prepared by Hanguyen

Introduction
"Fashions fade, style is eternal." —Yves Saint Laurent
Young people nowadays love to hear compliments such as: "You are so stylish!" Naturally, fashion stylist has become a hot job, even for those without formal training. On the one hand, many people think being stylish is all about fashionable clothes, a trendy pair of shoes or a fashionable hairstyle. On the other hand, others think having a style means an attractive personality. In order to appear the best, to “show off” and to get the most media attention, most celebrities hire their own stylists (or Image Consultants) to give them suitable style guidance, not only for the red carpet, but also for their daily lives.
