CO-HOST STYLIST
Female or male or other genders fashion Stylist : from conservative to edgy, all types welcome. You will be interacting with the candidates but also with the host Christian who is a stylist in New York. You will both have to come up with a plan and a look for the participant. The participant will then select the outfit from one or the other stylist to wear for his or her special event. Pictures or video of the actual event with the participant wearing the outfit will be shown afterwards or made up ones if not real event for the purpose of the first proof of concept if need be. The idea is to have a second stylist next to Christian who can bring opposite views to Christian's style, choices and also brings a different energy. The co-host will be asked to bring a more ''conservative'' or ''Classic'' vision to the outfit selections. Please make a self-tape explaining why you would be great for the show and, what are your experiences and give us the links to your portefolios or social medias and send all to info@totalcasting.ca or on casting workbook.
