The life of a stylist is one of glamour ...

There is a long held belief that the life of a stylist is one of glamour. For my last job, I was required to provide 100 assorted empty bottles of wine to create the shape of a Christmas tree shot from above. The local pubs and wine bars kindly let me rifle through their bins. I then had to wash them, and remove all the labels. There is now a layer of glue coating my kitchen sink, but the final shot looked sensational. Glamorous? No, more a heady mixture of challenging, infuriating, rewarding and fun.
