Now, there are a million apps you can find inside the App Store, but every stylist have
their own favorite.
By the end of this video you will learn and find out what are my top five apps that I
love and are helping me to be more productive.
Hi, my name is Basia Richard and I help aspiring stylists enter the styling industry.
If you want to learn which apps stylists use, stick around.
My first favorite app that I cannot live without is called Vogue Runway, and I'm some of you
are familiar with it.
If not, it's really an amazing app and it allows you to browse through designers, collections,
and seasons.
Let me show you exactly how it works.
This is Vogue Runway, one of my favorite apps, and most likely every stylist has this app
on their phone.
You can just download it from the App Store.
It's completely free.
Now, with this app you will be able to see the latest runway collections.
All you have to do is to go to search, and search here, and you can browse through designers
or seasons.
So, let's say I want to go to a designer and I love Acme Studios, and let's say I want
to see spring, summer 2020 ready-to-wear.
As you can see, you can see all the looks that went down the runways.
I love this one, let's say, and I can just save it into my dashboard.
It's saved.
So, let's go and see if we can find it.
In order to go to your dashboard, here it says My Show, so just click on it.
There it is.
You can just basically save all different looks.
You can save full collections.
See, I just downloaded the full spring, summer collection.
It's actually really neat.
It's amazing app where you can really browse through all the latest collections, seasons,
and designers.
Now, my second favorite app is great if you want to make a little bit extra money on the
side.
This app is called TIVVIT, and it's just simply a affiliated app that allows you to create
virtual looks into one collection.
If somebody buys an item or items from your collection, you will get a percentage from
their sales.
Let me show you exactly how this app works.
TIVVIT is a great app if you want to make extra money on a side.
I'm going to show you exactly how this app works.
We're going to start by clicking on the left bottom icon, the four squares icon.
Now, at the top you can see it says Feed Collections.
Let's go to Collections first.
As you can see, other app users are creating collections and suggesting certain looks,
and certain items.
So, let's go to my collection.
This is a collection I created a couple weeks ago.
If an other user will purchase one of the items or items from my collection, I will
receive a percentage from that sale.
Okay?
Now, let's go to Feed.
Now, this is a great place where you can ask questions if you're looking for certain looks
or an item, or you can also suggest items to other users.
So let's say...
I can see there's a great question from Annie, "I'm going on a work trip to New York City
in two weeks," let me just click on it, "and I need winter boots.
I was hoping to find something like this for a reasonable price since I won't be using
them too often."
Okay?
Other users, as you can see, are suggesting certain boots.
Now, if you suggest boots to this user and she purchases it, you're going to get percentage
from that sale.
Now, in order to create collections all you have to do is to click on the plus button
here in the middle, and click on Create a Collection.
Just follow directions.
It's super easy to just pick a cover photo and just fill out all this information.
It's super easy.
Then you can browse through...
You have to click on a hanger here in the bottom right, and you browse through clothing,
footwear, accessories, bags, I mean you name it.
Everything is here.
You can also search in a bar here on top, if you're looking for something, a specific
brand, designer, or an item.
Okay?
Great little app if you want to make some money on the side.
You can just play with play around with this.
I really, really like it and I really enjoy this one.
Now, my third favorite app is called Pantone, which is a company which is best known for
their color-matching system, Pantone Matching System, PMS.
It's a color system that helps in color identification and matching a specific color and shade.
It uses a Pantone numbering system, a special numbering system to identify colors.
Through this numbering system you're able to match exactly the color and shade that
is desired.
Now let me show you exactly how it works.
This is Pantone app.
I've been playing with this app for the past couple weeks.
Let me show you my favorite features of this app.
We're going to start with the camera feature.
So, let me click on this icon.
The camera icon.
Now, as I move the camera up and down, left and right, the app is picking up different
colors and shades as it sees, right?
So let's say I like this, and I'm going to take a picture.
Look what happens.
It picked up five different colors and shades from that one image.
So, if I click on the red on the top corner, on the right-hand side, it gives me a numbering
system for that specific color.
How cool is that?
Let's go back to dashboard.
Now, if you click on Colors...
This is my collection.
These are some colors and shades that I saved to my collection.
When you go to Images, it's going to look into your camera roll, and you can just click
on any picture.
It's going to pick up that specific colors and shades from that one specific image that
you have in your camera roll.
Now, when you goes to Articles, they have different type of articles for Pantone.
Studio...
I haven't been playing with that part of this app yet.
Let me show you the magnifying glass because it's actually pretty cool.
Let's do a search for let's say blue color, search.
It gives you 507 results of different shades of blue.
How cool is this?
So you can just scroll it down, and I love this color, and it gives you the numbering
system for that specific blue shade.
This is a really, really cool app.
Now, my fourth favorite app is called F.A.D.
It's an app that's basically a fashion database.
So, it's super helpful when you need to learn the fashion terminology and clothing terms,
and so much more.
Let me show you because it's really, really cool and super helpful.
F.A.D. app is basically a fashion dictionary.
I purchased this app from the App Store.
It wasn't free, but I think it cost me something like $10.
So, it wasn't very much, but totally worth the price.
It's basically like a Google, but it's an app.
So, you don't have to Google anything anymore.
Everything is here.
Let me show you exactly how it works.
Let's just click on the top left corner, and you have all the categories.
We have Accessories, Add Ons, Classics, Colors, Era, Fabrics.
Let's go to Fabrics.
Now, it does list all the fabrics, denim, double jersey, Egyptian cotton, elastin, felt,
fleece.
Let's go to Fleece.
It gives you a description, exactly what is fleece fabric.
Now, let's see different type of categories here.
We have individuals, institutions, jargon, labels, necklines, patterns, pockets, press.
I mean it, everything is here.
It's a pretty cool app.
Now you can search this for a different term if you want, or you can just scroll it down.
Everything is listed in an alphabetical order.
Pretty cool little app to have on your phone.
Now, my last fifth favorite app is called Shop Style, and it's a great app that allows
you to shop for many, many different pieces from one place.
I'm sure from most of you are very familiar with it, but if you're not, let me show you
why I love it so much, and why is it so amazing?
This is Shop Style app, one of my favorite apps, because it allows me to search from
different brands and stores under one app, which is extremely helpful when it comes to
shopping for an upcoming job, or for one of my clients.
On the top you have Categories, Brands, and Stores.
So, you can search from Categories.
So, let's say I'm going to go to Clothing, Denim, Classic, and it's going to pull in
all the classic denim.
Now, let's go back.
Let's go to Brands.
If I'm looking for a very specific brand, let's say my client loves, let's say, Acme
Studios.
These are all the items from Acme Studios.
Now, we're going to go to Stores, let's say AllSaints, right?
It's going to pull in all the items from AllSaints.
Now, my favorite way to shop from this app is by looking for a specific item.
So, let's say I'm looking for red blazer, okay?
And I'm going to click search, and there he go.
You have all red blazers here.
All you have to do in order to save them, you have to just heart it.
What else do we have here that I really like?
I like this Theory.
It's in my price range.
I also like this one as well, maybe one more.
Let's see if we're going to find one.
Yes, I love this Pinko one.
Now, we're going to go to Favorites.
See, all four blazers are saved here.
So, this is a great way to look and shop for different types of looks under one app.
Extremely helpful to every stylist.
