As a stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry, it describes how Kim entered the field and details of my current journey to build a reputation as a respected and recognized fashion professional in a highly competitive field. Kim provides a wealth of information about key elements of the industry as she gives details of the tools and resources necessary to be a successful fashion stylist. They include points to cover when consulting with client, working with small and large budgets, and how to organize information to produce a creative and successful project. Kim also provides a glossary of terms used in the industry. This is a must-have reference guide for anyone wanting to pursue a career as a fashion stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry.
Kim’s fashion philosophy is based on a unified approach to each individual. By offering grooming and personal appearance tips with a primary focus on wardrobe styling, Kim works with the artist or individual to come up with the best image. Beyond the head turning styles and latest techniques, she meets the demands of her clients. Her mission is to create image that will allow the artist or individual to stand out and be taken notice of.
Kim Maxwell’s self drive, along with her passion, natural talent, and eye for style and trends come easy to this native of Tennessee who has studied fashion since high school and received a B.A. in Fashion, Marketing, and Advertising from Middle Tennessee State University. Kim now is based in Atlanta where she freelances and has opened her own fashion and image consulting company, STYLESbyMAXX. STYLESbyMAXX offers fashion and image consulting and styling for publications, television, retailers, artists or individuals who have a desire to create or change their image.
Being the creative force behind STYLESbyMAXX, Kim describes the styles she creates with one word “JAZZY.” Others describe her style as classic, diverse, and hip, while incorporating the latest trends with a slight edge. “I like to make my clients feel comfortable in what they wear and how they appear to the public, even if it’s out of the ordinary because ‘Image is Everything,’ in this industry. I create styles that are innovative, creative, hip, and trendy which allow clients to feel and be themselves. It’s all about you having that swagger and you wearing the clothes, not the clothes wearing you,” Kim says. When asked what separates her from other stylists, Kim says “I bring out my clients personal styles by dressing them in clothes that bring out their personality while creating an image making them stand out from the rest.
With boundless creative energy, STYLESbyMAXX continues to build relationships with designer showrooms, exclusive boutiques, photographers, record labels, modeling agencies, and the entertainment industry. With Kim’s professional, fresh, upbeat, down to earth and real personality, along with her creativity and knowledge of the fashion industry, STYLESbyMAXX is becoming the most sought after fashion styling and image consulting company in the industry.
