Fashion Stylist Hetty Appleton-Miles on getting into the industry, developing styling skills and her personal style
I chatted with Hetty Appleton-Miles Stylist at Burberry who moved to London from Australia 7 years ago.
Hetty’s main job as Stylist for the British brand is styling the looks for the Burberry website and some digital campaigns: from developing the concept with her director to styling up to overseeing the looks on set. Like any other person working in fashion, also her working days are never the same.
From this chat, you’ll hear how she got started in the industry and you’ll be surprised to learn that she started with no formal university education. Although in the podcast she says that educating yourself outside of a traditional degree is fundamental. indeed she took several online courses to understand more about fashion. I asked her about her tips for becoming a good stylist and if this is a career you want to pursue, you will be motivated to know that she believes that styling is a skill that you can practice through work experience and that you can acquire even if right now maybe you believe you might not have it. We also chatted about her recent work trip to Paris, her favorite shows of the season as well as how she separates her personal style from her styling work.

Customer Reviews
The Mentor Ive dreamed of!
With living in a small town, there’s not very much talk on Fashion Careers. I can only get so much information on my own, so I kept my eye out for mentors. I’ve followed Giada for about a year now, and shes led me down a path that pushes me to perfect my craft! I know what I need to do to get a job in fashion, and I’m working towards it. No doubt her help will land me my dream job(s) in due time. I love your podcast Giada. Thank you for helping my build my ambition to what it is now.
Extremely insightful and helpful!
Giada’s ease and curiosity in all of her interviews is apparent and makes for a super interesting podcast! The tips and advice I’ve learned are unique and real. I will definitely take this with me as I begin my career in fashion!
