lukeprofile2

At the age twenty-two Luke Castillo has managed to achieve a variety of substantial roles and responsibilities as a freelance stylist. From a humble beginning at Barnet collage he began to consciously acknowledge his unique perception of the human silhouette. Luke then made the decision to boldly enter the fashion world. By late 2008 Luke graduated at London College Of Fashion in Fashion Styling and Photography with a impressive contact list under his wing. He obtained an internship, which quickly turned into a fulltime placement with acclaimed fashion stylist and fashion editor of Attitude magazine Frank Strachan. Luke worked on numerous projects ranging from artists such as the Saturdays, Girls Aloud and Will Young. He also worked on The Sunday Night project as well as travelling to France to shoot a collection story for the magazine.

 ‘The term stylist has been loosely abused. One merely dresses oneself and claim the title.
After assisting for the past year I realised that it is not as glamorous and simple as it is to obtain the name. My love for art has enabled me to discover my styling ability and motivated my levels of creativity.


My work is described as theatrical with an emphasis on the obsession for the metamorphosis of being.


Working in commercial and art based styling as-well as sticking to my convictions has guided me onto the next stage within this fast paced industry which is to conquer my ambitions as a freelance stylist’  -

 

Always eager to move onto the next step Luke sort after Alison Elwin who he had graciously admired for several years. After working closely with her he quickly became her first assistant for UK girl band the Sugababes. Luke began to realise the many facets of styling it was at this point that he was head hunted by Top Man personal shopping. Here he learnt to commercialise his point of view, relate to shoppers and influence the buying decision. With no desire to become complacent Luke turned to his budding contact list and drew the attention of genius costume designer and founder of British fashion label ‘Bodymap’ Stevie Stewart. As a freelance stylist Luke has lent his services to boy Band ‘The Wanted’ with British stylist Luan Sampson where he has independently taken control of the bands looks for television programme ‘Graham Norton’. Luke has also taken on the demanding Tour world assisting on Kylie Minogue’s ‘Aphrodite’. He is continuously proving to be a face to watch amongst peers.

Luke’s talents and passed achievements indicate his future is firmly secured in fashion styling. His popularity continues to increase whilst his goals and ambitions prove to be achievable for the hardworking aspiring fashion mogul.
