Industry Voices
A place to share your story — and your work — in fashion.
Industry Voices is a written interview series published on Substack by Stylist Elixir.
It’s a space to speak honestly about the realities of working in fashion — from creative growth and identity to burnout, money, starting out, or finding your place.
We spotlight stylists, assistants, photographers, MUAs, set designers, producers, and creatives across the industry — whether you're just getting started or years in.
The aim is to amplify underrepresented stories, spark reflection, and show that behind every fashion job is a human being — figuring it out.
Who It’s For
We welcome applications from fashion industry professionals around the world — particularly those who are often overlooked or underrepresented in the press.
You might be: – A freelance assistant still finding your feet
– A photographer who shifted careers
– A stylist who's questioning their path
– A creative director working behind-the-scenes
– Or simply someone with a story to share that hasn’t been told
We care less about your resume and more about your experience — lived, felt, and real.

How It Works
– If selected, you’ll be featured in a written Industry Voices piece published on Substack and shared with our global Stylist Elixir audience
– We’ll send a short set of interview questions, and you’ll answer them in your own time
– We may include light editing or commentary to weave your answers into a narrative — but your voice stays intact
– We’ll share it on our Instagram and newsletter (with your links credited)
There’s no cost to apply or be featured.

We read every submission.
You don’t need a “success story” — just something honest, thoughtful, and personal to share.
