Description
THE ROLE: Stylist--On Call (Studio, On-Model, & Still Life)
We’re looking for…
Join the Shepherdsville, Kentucky styling team behind Rue La La and Gilt, where every day brings a new mix of product to style: fashion on model one day, still life the next. As an On-Call Stylist, you'll work alongside photographers, art directors and fellow stylists in our Shepherdsville studio, creating the imagery shoppers see on every product page. Reporting to the Lead Stylist, you'll step in during our busiest production periods, making you a key part of keeping production running at full speed. Ideal for stylists who enjoy variety and a fast-paced studio.
What You’ll Do:
- On-model styling: Prep, steam, pin and clip fashion product on model for high-volume e-commerce, keeping the pace up without letting fit, accuracy or brand standards slip.
- E-commerce still life: Style scarves, soft goods, children's apparel, accessories and more for clean, consistent product imagery.
- Editorial still life: Build elevated sets for beauty, fashion, accessories and home, using props, composition and placement to bring the creative direction to life.
- Live adjustments: Review styling throughout each shoot, fine-tune fit and composition in real time and solve on-set challenges quickly.
- Collaboration: Partner with photographers, art directors and producers to interpret and execute the vision for each shoot.
- Consistency: Follow styling guides, PDP standards and shot lists so every image feels cohesive across both brands.
- Studio care: Keep tools, supplies, props and workspaces organized, clean and safe.
About You:
You're a versatile stylist who enjoys switching between on-model and still-life work. You're quick, detail-oriented and adaptable, and you take pride in making every product look its best.
- Professional styling experience in a high-volume production studio, ideally in fashion, accessories, home or e-commerce
- Hands-on experience with both on-model and still-life styling, including working directly with models
- Skilled in product prep and styling techniques, from steaming and pinning to prop sourcing and selection
