5 Key Tips For Organizing A Fashion Event

A fashion event is one of those shows that are pleasing to go to. Especially for fashion enthusiasts, there’s something about these events that make them attractive and well attended. There’s a good reason fashion weeks in some countries exist, and that’s because many people simply love fashion. From the glitz and glamour to the makeup, shoes, jewelry, and clothing to the appetizers and wine, people can’t get enough of these events.

5 Key Tips For Organizing A Fashion Event

If you’re planning on staging your own fashion show, this article is for you. Ensuring your fashion event will be a success won’t be easy—you need to put in a lot of hard work. It’s not something you’ve thought about one day and then wing it the next. You need to have ample preparation to ensure nothing goes wrong on the day of the event. If you don’t know where to start, here are five key tips to be successful in organizing your fashion event.

  1. Secure The Venue

The first step to hosting a successful fashion event is to secure your venue. What’s an event without a venue? You don’t want to put off this task as you’d never know if somebody else would be booking on your desired date. The earlier you can reserve your venue, the better. Try to browse for venues online, like on The Vendry and similar sites, where you can check the venue’s details and description, send inquiries, and read customer feedback.

When choosing a venue, one of the most important factors to consider is the size. Your venue has to accommodate your fashion event comfortably. If you plan to set up a stage or runway, you need a venue that will allow you to install one. Also, think of other basic amenities, like bathrooms and rooms for your dressing area, and check whether they can be provided. Inquire, too, if they have enough lights, speakers, and other equipment for your sound system.

  1. Identify Your Purpose

Different brands or event organizers have their respective reasons for hosting a fashion event. Whatever your reason is, use this as your motivation to keep going, especially on days it seems impossible to make your show a success. Your purpose is also what will set your fashion event apart from others.

So as you get your plans off the ground and start planning your fashion event, try to identify what your purpose is. Some of the most common reasons are:

  • Raising money for charity
  • Showing a designer’s latest collection, for example, their newly released spring, summer, autumn, or winter wear
  • Increasing awareness for a cause
  • Launching a new fashion product or business
  1. Select Your Theme

A fashion event’s theme will most likely depend on the designer’s collection or the products you’re promoting, particularly their aesthetics and style. The key here is to achieve a well-curated, coordinated, and elegant show that pays attention to key details from start to finish.

You wouldn’t want to settle for anything less. As much as possible, you want to create that wow factor in the eyes of your event goers. This is important so you can create a buzz both offline and online.

  1. Choose Your Models ASAP

A fashion event wouldn’t be a fashion event without the models as they’re the ones to wear the clothes and promote the products you’re introducing to the market. So once you’ve settled all the details about your fashion show, it’s time to cast your models.

This is a crucial step, so it has to be done accurately and as soon as possible. The models can make or break your event. They hold the key to whether the designs and products you’re introducing will be brought to life.

Choosing your models as soon as possible gives you enough time to get the casting done. This way, you don’t have to rush and settle for models you don’t find fit to wear the brand you’re representing just because you didn’t have enough time to prepare. But while you’re doing the casting, don’t forget to ensure everything is clear when it comes to the models’ fees and wages.

5 Key Tips For Organizing A Fashion Event

  1. Market And Promote Your Event

To get the word out about your fashion event, you have to promote it. The event won’t make a mark in the fashion world if you aren’t able to attract your target attendees. As soon as your details are final, that should be your go signal to start advertising and spreading the word about your event.

Conclusion

When all is said and done, the main objective of why you’re setting up a fashion show should be achieved. Whether it’s to present a new collection or market new designs and products, a successful fashion event is also a good marketing stunt. But no successful event was ever planned overnight. It entails long hours of brainstorming and planning to make it a success. The tips above will help get you started.

How to Dress Like Your Favorite Hollywood Celebs

How to Dress Like Your Favorite Hollywood CelebsThroughout modern history, consumers have relied on and turned to celebrity endorsements and magazine placements to discover the latest fashion trends. As fit and trim people brimming with talent and success, they become models and influencers of style for everyday people trying to find similar success in their own way.

Looking to add some Hollywood fashion and flair to your wardrobe? Here are four items you can add to your closet to dress like your favorite Hollywood celebrities.

1. A Bikini

With summer on the horizon, it’s time to start tracking down your bikini of choice for weekends at the swimming pool or your big beach vacation. You Beauty provides a list of some of the top bikini styles for this summer, based on top celebrities’ endorsements or creations. For instance, Emily Ratajkowski owns a swimsuit line called Inamorata that other celebrities are thrilled to wear. Her hallmark design is a triangular bikini top featuring extra-long straps that spiral down along the torso as well as matching bottoms that tie on the sides. Her bikini suits come in a variety of colors and patterns.

2. Active Wear

Many celebrities create their own lines of activewear. For instance, country star Carrie Underwood developed her own brand, Calia, which features comfortably adorable sweatpants that seem more like yoga pants crossed with long johns and much more. But there are many other ways to work out or enjoy casual afternoons shopping like your favorite celebrities. Case in point: Jessica Alba loves comfortable tracksuits, while Eva Longoria likes to sweat without any hindrance with a seamless jog bra and spandex pants.

3. Sexy Lingerie

Sometimes, part of the secret to your favorite celebrities’ stunning curves and trim figures lies beyond excellent genetics, a clean diet and an unwavering devotion to a superhuman fitness regimen.

They sometimes get some help from sexy, form-fitting lingerie that accentuates their curves and improves troublesome spots. Not only that, but many stars wear high-quality lingerie and intimates as part of their outerwear, wearing a bodysuit with a pair of jeans and a cardigan sweater.

Consider Jennifer Lopez’s low-rise pants and peek-a-boo thong or Halsey’s demi-cut, corseted bodysuit, suggests Christina Baez at US Magazine. You can adopt this layering technique and body-enhancing strategy by investing in high-quality, affordable lingerie and intimates that will help you achieve the Hollywood look you oh-so desire.

4. Closet Organization

While this isn’t a shoe brand or article of clothing, the top celebrities love organizing their closets, so create a better organization of your closet. You don’t need to do it all at once, but adding a shoe organizer or some small totes is a great way to start living like a Hollywood celeb. With a little focus on order, you’ll always know where your favorite sweater is, or you’ll more easily recognize when you’ve not worn a blouse for over a year and donate it. You’ll love working with a clear, organized space to put together your celebrity-inspired outfits.

Dressing Like a Celebrity Isn’t Difficult When You Get Creative

As you look to take some fashion inspiration from your favorite celebrities, you’ll soon find you’re developing your own unique style. In the meantime, learning the beauty of organization, finding flattering fitness fashionwear, picking out the perfect bikini, and strategically layering your undergarments and lingerie to your advantage are great pathways to achieving celebrity style.

5 Poker Pros Who Could Easily Be Mistaken for Runway Models

5 Poker Pros Who Could Easily Be Mistaken for Runway ModelsSeeing past their poker faces, you may never have even guessed that some of the best women in the game are also the most striking in several other aspects. They’re definitely more than just their looks; if anything, this is but an asset supplementing their skills. While they’re often compared to runway models, they are also role models for anyone looking to make it in this competitive field. Who says that poker is a man’s game? These women bring much-needed class, flair, glamour, and more to the table, setting the bar (and stakes) high for anyone –– regardless of gender.

On a visit to the US World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Kent native Liv Boeree was enthralled by the game and determined to be as skilled as her poker heroes. Her interest in poker came after she graduated from theUniversityof Manchester with first-class honors with an astrophysics degree, which helps her play with logic and a methodical strategy. Nicknamed ‘Iron Maiden,’ she wears many other hats as a television presenter and model and is currently the only woman to hold championship titles in both the European Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker. While these were important personal feats, Boeree says that she’s happy to be representing women who are either underrepresented or often patronized in the game.

She was a Dean’s lister at DukeUniversitywhere she took up game theory and took an interest in other critical thinking hobbies like chess and Rubik’s cubes. This introduced her to poker, as she was likewise drawn to the psychology behind the game. She finished her degree in economics and political science in a record-breaking 2.5 years. She continued to break even more records, pursuing poker and further studies in law at theUniversityof Miami School of Law where she graduated magna cum laude.

Aside from being a beautiful face and a fierce competitor, Melanie Weisner also has one of the most active and thriving Twitter accounts among poker pros. The businesswoman-slash-poker strategy coach regularly engages with her fans, which isn’t surprising at all considering how the game as a whole is now more socially-driven. One look at the PPPoker Twitter hashtag and you can see that players from the US, Mexico, and even Japan, tweet about topics ranging from upcoming major events, high stakes online tournaments, and expert strategies. It appears that Weisner has noted these strategies, together with her stint as a heads-up Sit & Go specialist for most of her online poker career, and all of which have likely attributed to her online success.
