Parisian stylist Virginie Benarroch and photographer Lola Raban have unveiled their new photography book, Assistants, a tender ode to an often unseen yet essential figure in the fashion industry: the stylist assistant. The book offers a visual archive capturing the gestures, tools, and faces of those who make fashion shoots possible.
Behind the scenes of the fashion industry
Assistants presents a gallery of portraits and intimate details, documenting the realities of a profession that operates largely in the background. From work kits to hands at work, the book emphasizes the stylist assistant as a creative and logistical cornerstone of the fashion industry.
A documentary vision by Benarroch and Raban
Conceived as both a documentary project and a visual directory, the book brings together insights and imagery that highlight the artistry, dedication, and subtle expertise of fashion stylist assistants. Published by Exhibition Magazine, Assistants is now available, offering readers an unprecedented glimpse into the people who shape the images we admire in magazines and campaigns.
