Meet Jaye Ewing (@dressed.by.jaye): After working in the auto industry for 3 years Jaye took a leap of faith and took our class in March of 2019.
By November of that same year, Jaye had been published in over 6 magazine spreads, styled clients for the Soul Train Awards red carpet and now has clients like Angela Simmons (Growing Up Hip-Hop) under his belt.
This all happened for him in the span of a year (8 months to be exact). Can you imagine your wildest dreams coming true for you once you take that leap yourself?
Today Jaye has styled clients for prestigious red carpets including the Oscars, NAACP Awards, and he counts Angela Simmons, Yo Gotti, and Coco Jones as clients.

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.
