Elite Fashion Academy LA

Hey guys I just finished the 4 day makeup class! And must I say I had so much fun. My teacher was amazing and the staffs made me feel so comfortable. Trying to get into this industry, especially in LA, everyone seems very stuck up or not willing to help. At Elite I honestly felt so comfortable and they made me feel at such ease. I did have the private makeup class and I was so nervous because I was going to be alone but I really enjoyed it. I got to feel the techniques (Teacher did my makeup) and I got to practice on models that they had for me and I even practiced on the staff.
Whenever they had shoots at Elite they would invite me to assist the makeup artist and see how to work with actual clients. I thought this was cool because you could see the fast pace and see it from a professional aspect and not just from class. The days go by SO QUICK I wish it was longer! I feel so confidant and learned so much. This class taught me that I’ve been doing my own makeup wrong for the past 22 years.
Learning from Elite and gaining the experience that I did, I had not only gained knowledge and experience I also gained confidence. So when they called for LA fashion week I was more excited then nervous and my work reflected the teaching skills. I am excited to start on my own journey and wouldn’t have fallen in love with it as much as I did with this great experience at Elite.
Thank you so much!
Brenna, Renne and Daniel !

I just took the one day intensive modeling training class! It was such a fun, great and fulfilling experience! Renee and her team make the environment and energy so inviting, positive, and easy going. Kimberly our first trainer is the actual head casting agent for
! She gave us the inside scoop/​advice on getting signed with an agency. What a super cool chick that made us so comfortable while encouraging us to really engage and ask tons of questions. Colin Megaro gave us advice on what to wear for castings, head shots, etc. He is just exceptional and one of the top celebrity sylist! He was so fun and blunt making it lively and keeping us on our toes.
We had a guess speaker Margaret from LAmodels of Iceland! She let us know what not to do and wear when you come into an open call; very valuable advice. Laurel Stovall a high fashion model whose done runway all over the world was our runway walk instructor. Laurel made it so comfortable and fun when having us practice walking with confidence and poise down the runway, even walking along with those that needed that extra push. What a beautiful doll who is quirky and sweet who really took the extra mile to encourage and engage with the students along with Kimberly!
Inbetween all these amazing instructors of expertise we had a practice photo shoot to break the ice with Jacopo Manfren a famous photographer. Then we had makeovers by renowned hairstylist Jason and makeup by celebrity makeup artists. From there we got to take our actual photoshoot in which we get provided with a headshot that we will use to send to agencies that Elite provides a list of! Overall I had a great time learning and gaining confidence in this field, I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to take part in the class. The whole entire staff is remarkably talented with such great personalities.

2^nd class for EFALA’s fashion styling program finished! (woohoo half-​way done with the program!) The class’s lecture was interesting… we went over body types for women and men. We also talked about our upcoming photoshoot project. The school also creates other press opportunities for their students– they interviewed me and we took a class group photo.
During class, I was extremely exhausted from the week (commuting from the bay to la + no sleep) but I really love how my teacher keeps the classroom energy positive and interesting. He tries to make the lecture personal and fun. Colin Megaro is a good role model any upcoming fashion stylist– he has a good attitude and really understands the fashion business.
The individualized attention from the learning facility and opportunities created for us are what I paid for in EFALA.
Let’s see what round 3 has in-​store for me as a student!
