 Since I loved clothing and jewelry and all things fashion (here is some evidence of my early jewelry obsession),  why not be a fashion designer?!?! At the time it sounded so glamorous and perfect so I whipped out my sketch  book and went to work.  Shortly, another realization took place – I couldn’t draw (and that so remains true). It  was really hard to put the beautiful chiffon, sequined and fabric draped visions in my head on paper and if I did  manage to move my pencil in the right motion to display what was happening in my imagination, it still didn’t  look like much on a stick person!

 Over the years I never lost my love of fashion and of course as I got older I realized there are other ways to get  your ideas on paper. So as I approached the point in my life where it was time to decide what I was going to use  my degree for, my desire to be in the industry of fashion resurfaced. I mean, throughout college I worked in  retail, so I guess I never really left it, but when it came time that I might actually have to – I panicked. I couldn’t  let go.

 I always really enjoyed working with people and creating looks from a variety of pieces – it’s really what excites  me about fashion – the ability to utilize the items you love most in hundreds of different ways. The styling  aspect of retail is always the most fun and there are many people who really have an eye for what works. It’s risky though – the industry of fashion – and that’s what gave me the idea for Milwaukee’s Style Trial. A no-risk opportunity for those individuals with a love for fashion and styling to test their skills.

It’s a four week competition where 7 will get the chance to compete for styling opportunities with M Magazine, The Institute of Beauty and Wellness and Flaire Boutique (obviously). There’s more though – an overnight stay in the Presidential Suite at the InterContinental Hotel, dinner for two at Kilawat and a VIP Party at Decibel Nightclub . . . a nice little prize package and a chance to utilize your fashion know-how.

So if you love fashion and you view each opportunity to dress yourself (or friends/family) as a chance to express yourself OR maybe just because it sounds fun – visit the homepage of our website, check out the rules and get your application in. We are extending the deadline – so you have until Friday morning to get them in.

When else do you get the chance to try out something new without all the risk?? Apply today!
