A fashionista at heart, and with experience in corporate retail, she has become an expert in her field.
The organizing qualities, along with understanding texture, fabric and color brought her to work for Commercials, Fashion Editorials, The Red Carpet and Celebrities.
Many young beautiful people walk the corridors of school when little with the dream of a future promised by media and film. As they grow older they realize who their favorite star always was and fashion is what sums it all up.
Fashion and styling is a skill of understanding stories as well as people. Stories because of the fashion, people because of the form and style.
Her portfolio shows the deeper reality of fashion. When connecting the dots and not letting the country feel of some of the photos take you too far back in time, you can see the innocence of every artists dream, that even as a fashion stylist is to find the most raw fashion statement of that day.
Style creates a self respect, even at those moments we know ?we won’t tolerate?, fashion works to pull one through for the sake of a good memory. The other way around would be to live out something within, because I’m wearing the perfect clothes to do so today, and I might not feel that I can another day even when in the same attire. Melinda Tarbell can tell this naturally, and works to create art between people with the directions of what are we working with for this commercial today that will forever be marked as created on this specific day, and what faces are we dealing with?
This is a perfect photograph styled by Melinda Tarbell of a Rock-star couple, conveniently taken at a small grocery store. Even though they might share the same dreams when looking at their fashion, and even though they might just be hungry and happen to look good that day ? the style speaks to the mentality of rock-stars as well as to the fashion and art appreciators.
