What is Fashion Show all about? So, as you know back in 1800’s when the high society in Paris held an private rich event
called ‘fashion parade’ and strictly limited and seigneur only, then in the 1903 the American adapted this concept in New York,
and now, everyone willing to steal the others seat. Something funny, that you invite all people to come and your fashion show
becoming to a riot and can’t be ruled. And it is mostly happen here in Indonesia, local designers or even luxury brand, all the same,
people are steal the others seat.
So what are the most important aspects to make an elegant, lavish, a great fashion show? Although when in Paris or New York
is the latest, and here is still Fall/Winter, OMG even here is no snow. But almost all fashion show here is in a mess.
Yes, people coming late, even the celebrities, and ya ok fashion editor, but it’s just because, in some cases, all seats are for
socialite, ya ok we are back to the 1800’s. NO, its 2012, you have to know the real influencers, but we all love our dear socialite,
but please buy our latest bags and shoes, oh and dresses too, Thank You.

Louis Vuitton and Chanel so far is the best examples and here they are anything to make a real fashion show:
-
Provide the Runway; Have mercy on your models, provide the real runway, with carpets or stages and don’t let the
people to step their feet on it. People blocking the models walk are perfectly disaster or you have invited people from
PETA or what?
-
Provide the seat; This is for the guests, don’t try to be edgy by letting your potential guests standing during your show,
it is not edgy at all, I will assume that you cut your budget for the seat. The walking model and the standing guests
is perfectly disaster.
-
Canapés are Essential; Provide this before and after the show, making your guests completely comfortable, beside that,
this is for a complement in the middle of mingling.
-
Who are the Guests? ; The potential influencers are the most important, and who they are? Potential buyers which is
your loyal customer, fashion editor, fashion stylist, celebrities – socialite? It’s ok, but sometimes they are not even
buy at all. So 100% socialite on your show is not recommended. Potential buyer have a possibility to buy your latest
collection right after the show, but you know some of them even don’t have time to do this, so this is what fashion editor
and fashion stylist do, influence your busy clients with our thoughts, so seriously be nice to us.
-
The Venue; Club? Are you going to show your collection or will ruin everything. Come on, separating party with your
main purpose of showing the collection. Store? Ok I know your idea is taking people go to your store and after the show
they will buy your collection, its good but make sure there is runway and seats available. Private show or fashion
week are the best, they really know make people aware of the collection, Chanel are the best, so it’s to be my
dream to be in front row Chanel haute couture show.
-
Goodie Bag; Yes, we are in a poor level of poorness, if you could not give the Antigona or the Birkin, lipstick are okay (?)
- I’m just kidding, it is only for your brand awareness balance and please do not put trashy freebies, like your on sale
tie with 65% condition, please don’t do that.
So that's all the things that comes to my mind relating fashion show, i was thinking that fashion week at mall is the worst,
but the CLUB is the worst, store in second worst, too much small and people are standing. Making this more
conceptualized just for our convenience and make this as a lesson for our the brand new fashion
designers who will do their fashion show debut. DELUXSHIONIST
