About Your Instructor:
Forbes 30 Under 30 listed stylist, Brittany Diego's work has been featured at red carpet events like the Oscars and Emmys as well as countless celebrity clients and companies including Revolve, JustFab, MTV, BET, Lori Harvey, Trevor Jackson, Draya Michele, and more.
Brittany was flooded with requests for career advice from aspiring stylists, however, having experienced firsthand the lack of resources and mentorship in the industry due to the competitive nature of the business, she decided to launch her then-blog, Fashion Mentor, in 2018.
The blog has since evolved into a career-development platform with an online Fashion Stylist Academy and annual Fashion Stylist Summit where students have gone on to have their work featured on major red carpets like the Grammys, assisted at the MET Gala, and have styled magazine covers, TV shows and styled clients including:
Angela Simmons
Bad Bunny
Kenya Moore of RHOA
Nick Cannon’s “Wild N’ Out”
Amazon
Rolling Loud
MTV Awards
BET Awards
And so much more
Most recently, Brittany is the author of the book "The Fashion Stylist Blueprint" where she breaks down all of her industry insider knowledge to the next generation of fashion stylists.
