We may not be in New York or Paris, but the fashion scene here in the Twin Cities is vibrant and exciting. Twice a year, the Minnesota fashion community holds Fashion Week MN (FWMN) to showcase local designers, brands, retailers, artists, influencers and photographers who participate in the local fashion scene.
If you’re a local creative involved or interested in fashion, a fashion show is the perfect way to showcase your passion – and, hopefully, find some new customers. Continue reading for tips on throwing a thrilling and memorable fashion show.
Come up with a creative hook
When planning a fashion show, think outside the box. What if you held your show in an unusual venue? Or, instead of models performing the traditional runway walk, they sit, stand, dance, or do something else out of the ordinary? Try to come up with a way to make your show stand out.
Assemble your team
It takes a village to throw a successful fashion show. You’ll need a lighting company and sound designer, a marketing team, hair and makeup, front and back of house show runners, and more. Make sure to hire people with fashion show experience.
Plan your set
You’ll want to elevate the models so everyone in attendance can see the fashion being displayed. Broadway Party & Tent Rental carries a variety of staging options so you can achieve the look and layout you want. You’ll also need chairs, of course!
Create buzz
A good marketing team can help you build excitement online and on social media, in addition to paper invitations. Use that creative hook you decided on earlier to create buzz for your show!
The show flow
This is the fun and/or complicated part: planning the actual show! You’ll need to decide the order of the looks, the music, the lights, and how it will all flow together.
