The hustle and bustle of fashion month is not for the weak, to say the least. This month is filled with beautifully designed pieces from prominent designers that cascade down the runway that make us ‘ooh’ and ‘aah.’ Most would think the days are filled with glitz and glamour—but behind every fashion content creator lives a chaotic calendar that features tight schedules, multiple changes, several photoshoots, fitting appointments, multiple glam sessions, and no food breaks! If you’re lucky you can fit in a few hydrating face masks while trying on looks…
Tips of the trade…
Preparing for the month involves booking numerous flights and hotels to major cities such as Milan and Paris. My photographer and assistant joined me on this marathon race because it’s almost impossible to do it alone. A car service is also booked because not only do you need to get around the city quickly for back-to-back shows, but the car also serves as a mobile dressing room.
My outfits are meticulously packed in garment bags that contain polaroid photos of my exact outfits. Each garment bag will include the outfit, jewelry, shoes, and bag, alongside a label so nothing is forgotten. Expect to change your entire outfit in a moving vehicle with a time limit of usually 15 minutes before approaching your next destination.
