Alizé Demange - The stylist who never took no for an answer

For this episode we were joined by the wonderful Alizé Demange, Stylist and Founder of A-D Creative.

Alizé has been a mainstay in the U.K styling scene for a while now and has an incredible story to tell. Alizé's story has been laced with setbacks but she has never let these stop her which is why she is in the position she is in today. Her talent and perseverance has led to her styling the likes of Wstrn, Jorja Smith, Maya Mama and many more of the country's biggest talent!

However, styling wasn't always part of the plan, it was actually fashion design that first peaked Alizé's interest. However due to some experiences that she shares in the episode, Alizé realised that she was much better suited to and more passionate about styling! Since this discovery, she has never looked back and years later has built up an incredible portfolio of work which spans across editorial, e-commerce, personal and more!

Throughout the episode Alizé candidly shares how long it took her to get to the position she's in and the sacrifices she made in order to do so. Her path was in no means linear and despite several setbacks and thoughts of quiting Alizé pushed through and is now successful and very well respected in the fashion scene.

What I loved most about this episode is how it showed that in Alizé being forced to take a real unconventional approach to break into the fashion industry, she no longer feels restricted by peoples perceptions or labels. This approach has led to Alizé also being a fashion influencer herself aswell as starting a number of initiatives which have supported young people to break into the industry!
