Interview with fashion stylist Sarah McManus
Ever wonder what it’s like to be a fashion stylist? Here’s the inside scoop, thanks to Boston fashion stylist, Sarah McManus:
Why did you want to become a fashion stylist?
I wanted to become a fashion stylist because I have always been intrigued by clothes, especially the way everyone wears them in their own way. I wanted to help those who didn’t have their own sense of style and wanted to find it. It’s so rewarding in the end. I love fashion and beauty. I’m kind of a product junkie and have a lot to offer in that sense. A lot of my clients just need help rediscovering themselves and their style. That’s where I come in.
How did you get your first client?
I got my first client when I put my website up. She was great. We really worked together in finding the right look for her and what was going to be functional as well.
What is your favorite part of styling?
My favorite part of styling is meeting different types of people and stepping inside their world for a bit. My clients range from doctors to business types to artists. It’s so fun being able to put together so many different looks.
What is the worst part of styling?
There really is no downside to my job. I love every aspect.
How accurate is the Rachel Zoe Project for what a non-celebrity stylist would do?
The Rachel Zoe Project is very accurate except she is working with major celebrities. She does everything a normal stylist does and even teaches me a few things here and there. She is someone I truly admire. Her work ethic is amazing.
