MELISSA MAXTED-HENDERSON
​
STYLING PROPS COSTUME
'I have been afforded the opportunity to create unique, outstanding pieces of work with clients around the world, that speak to the consumer and the continent'
'My talent lies in creating believable, emotional work that resonates with the audience and constantly strive to create something fresh and unique in every project I take on.'
​I started my 25 year award winning career with magazine styling and editing for two of the last remaining South African publications Glamour and GQ and naturally moved into freelance styling, fashion writing and art direction, focusing on stills and commercials.
​
Aside from the notable editorial work, I have worked with top local and international brands, styling and collaborating as a strong creative partner for numerous catalogues, campaigns and commercials within the retail and advertising space, working closely with some of the top local and international creative agencies and production companies
With a fashion and marketing degree behind me as well as graphic design, I am conditioned to push the boundaries of character styling and create unique, interesting visuals that tell a story beyond the clothes.​
'I see myself as a multifaceted talent focusing on creative character styling for stills, film and commercials'
