The fashion industry may not be easy to get into, especially since several huge brands are already competing for customers’ attention. However, if this is your dream, you could still become successful, although it may require hard work and dedication. The road may not be easy, but it’s not impossible, especially if designing and creating fashionable clothes is your passion. Once you have your design collections, you may want to showcase your creations with a fashion show. Here are tips to help plan your first fashion show.
Determine your theme
Having a theme for your fashion show will make the experience more interesting. Moreover, if you follow a specific theme, it will also be easier to work on the details, including the decorations, makeup, and music. For example, a winter wonderland theme could be an option if you’re showcasing some winter clothes.
Search for the right venue
Once you have a theme, search for a place to hold the event. Consider your theme in your selection, and ensure that it’s something that would work with it. Also, think about the estimated number of people who will attend the show. Besides the typical venues that offer rental for fashion events, you may also go for the unconventional setup, like an outdoor runway.
Use technology for the event
Event streaming is popular nowadays as it allows those who could not make it to the actual event to watch remotely. Several streaming options are available, and Facebook live is one of them. It’s free and easy to use. Start a live stream and ask viewers to share the link to gain more views. Once it’s over, those who could not watch the live streaming could still watch the recorded video, thus garnering more viewership.
Installing big screens would also help the audience, especially those at the back. They would get a better view of what’s happening on the runway. Use soundbars too to maximize audio quality and volume. Part of a successful show is excellent music, and these soundbars would bring life to it. You can install these soundbars using a wall mount or bracket. A wall mount soundbar is also easy to uninstall; thus, you can conveniently use it for different events or even in your boutique.
Choose your models
Do this several months before the event because finding suitable models who would do justice to your creations may take time. Not everyone may look great on specific clothing, so those you choose should look great with your designs. Practice the runway, so everything will be smooth, and adjust collections as needed to fit models perfectly.
Promote the event
Once you have everything ready for the event and have decided on the date, it’s time to spread the word. Post about it on social media, and ask people to share it. Print flyers to hand out to your target audience. Join networking events and tradeshows, and make them a platform to promote your brand and the fashion show.
You may also consider having an after-show party to connect with guests who might be interested in your collections.
