AKIRA is seeking a talented E-Commerce Freelance Fashion Stylist to create bold, elevated, and trend-forward looks for our e-commerce content. Working on-site at our Chicago studio, you’ll style head-to-toe looks across apparel, footwear, accessories, and jewelry while collaborating with our creative team to bring the AKIRA aesthetic to life. This is an on-call, as-needed freelance opportunity, with shoot days and hours varying based on business needs.

What You’ll Do

  • Style complete, head-to-toe looks for e-commerce, editorial, and social media shoots.
  • Curate apparel, footwear, accessories, and jewelry to create cohesive, fashion-forward looks.
  • Translate current trends into styling that feels distinctly AKIRA.
  • Work efficiently in a high-volume studio environment with multiple looks and products.
  • Collaborate with photographers, models, creative team members, and other studio partners.
  • Make quick, thoughtful styling adjustments based on the needs of the shoot.
  • Maintain strong awareness of emerging fashion, runway, celebrity, street-style, and social media trends.
  • Help ensure each look is polished, intentional, and visually aligned with the AKIRA brand.

What We’re Looking For

  • A strong portfolio showcasing creative, head-to-toe styling.
  • A highly developed eye for proportion, layering, color, accessorizing, and trends.
  • Confidence making styling decisions quickly in a live studio environment.
  • Strong organization, time management, and attention to detail.
  • A collaborative, adaptable, and resourceful approach.
  • Ability to work on-site at AKIRA’s Chicago studio.
  • Flexible availability to support shoots based on business needs.

Additional Requirments

This is an as-needed freelance opportunity with scheduling based on business needs. There are no guaranteed weekly hours, and stylists will be contacted regarding upcoming shoot opportunities based on availability and project needs.

Why This Role

This is a unique opportunity to be part of the product creation process for two fashion-forward brands. Your feedback will directly impact the fit and feel of footwear worn by our customers.

We are committed to fair and transparent compensation practices. Compensation for this position will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. Additional compensation and benefits may also apply and will be discussed during the hiring process.
