Throwing back to an interview we carried out in 2018, we spoke with Michele Guzman who at the time was looking forward to studying further in fashion or interior design. From Guatemala, Michele attended the incredibly popular Fashion Styling for Beginners short course.
Michele Guzman
What short course did you study on and why did you choose it?
I picked Kristine Kilty’s Fashion Styling for Beginners short courses and I chose it mainly because of Central Saint Martins’ reputation. I have also admired CSM since I was a kid and it was a dream come true to be able to study there. Also, before I met Kristine I looked up her work on the internet and her styling work is amazing!
