In 1999 a contact from a major record label asked him to join their new style agency and he began styling bands, magazine shoots and any requested TV appearances whilst simultaneously working at his shop (Souled Out – see below). He is still working as a stylist with substantial contacts and access to a full range of fashion with next season’s samples from independent designers and also an extensive list of PR companies.

Opened Concessions in Top Shop (Arcadia group) Oxford St, then five stores Nationwide. He ran this successfully in the early nineties and had constant press and media interest and additionally worked as a consultant and overseas buyer for Urban Outfitters. 

Frank has been a full time, freelance stylist for at least 10 years. In this time he has kept a large selection of items – Frank has an impressive archive of approximately 20,000 items.
