Hi I'm studying womenswear for three years in college was the most exciting thing I ever have achieved so far. By expanding my knowledge and appreciation of clothes, I realised how people can communicate through their appearance and how fashion is the most effective tool for showing identity. However, only by designing garment, there was certain limitation to expressing my point of view. Then, I started to take the idea of styling more seriously and found it very exciting. Through communicating with designers and other aspects of fashion industry, styling became a perfect way of exploring my enthusiasm and love for fashion.

After working for various stylists as an assistant, I have accomplished skill for organising and communicating in fashion shoot, video clip, beauty shoot, staging, fashion show and so on. Also while I was experiencing all these, I prepared my own portfolio to take things further. And I think this is the time to move on to next step and found the FashionUP service very inspiring and perfect opportunity to show my dedication to fashion.

After I researched what is fashion up movement and how it works, the effective and daring way of connecting people, designer and stylist made deep impression on me. Specially, I am very intrigued by the idea of helping all different kind of people regardless age and other conditions that normally was overlooked by fashion industry.

My name is Natasha I am originally from St-Petersburg , Russia but I currently live in London . When I was 21 years old I headed straight to Paris where I started working as a model, then an actress, but I have always been passionate and involved in fashion world, didn't really matter where; catwalk, studio, film playground or shopping with a client. I have always felt the desire and the power to do something to help people have a high self esteem and feel confident about themselves; when you look good you feel amazing. I moved to London where I gained my degree in Fashion and Stylist consulting at Aston & Hayes, a prestigious Styling school in the UK . I also have a professional qualification in Woman Clothing Design from Russian Sewing College .

I first started as a personal shopper and style consultant for private clients in London and I also work as a stylist for photo shoots. I still travel around the world where I find the inspiration and where I can replenish my knowledge and expertise. For me there are no rules to looking good but I always keep in mind the three C's of dressing: Choice, Customisation and Couture - choosing clothes that suit you, altering clothes to your personal shape and style and having clothes made especially for you are ways that makes anyone look good and feel great! I have been involved in all these aspects of fashion and image-making and I am happy to advice anyone interested on changing their personal image.

Minha Yoon, London UK

I was born in South Korea and spent the most of my life in California. I’ve always had an interest in drawing and painting- I used to spend my lunch break in high school shut away in the school’s art studio. My love for creating beautiful things developed into interest for fashion. I was eager to study fashion and went for an Associate of Art degree at FIDM in San Francisco, but felt that it didn’t satisfy my desire to become a designer. I left FIDM and came to London, where I study at Central Saint Martins. What attracted me to London as my learning environment is the wealth of culture and its openness to creativity. I enjoy going to concerts- both classical and contemporary. When time allows, I love to travel and learn about new cultures. My favorite destination so far has been Venice, and hope to go back again soon.

FashionUP is an excellent opportunity for both designers and clients; designers to see their creation on real people and for customers to have one-off pieces created only for them. It is definitely an anticipated step forward for the modern fashion industry. It brings the designer’s ideas closer to an individual customer’s requirements and satisfaction.
