Journalists need time to prepare press releases and issue magazines on trends and collections in due month. It’s during such fashion shows that journalists from such magazines as Vogue,Elle etc evaluate general tendencies and write about what’s fashionable to wear.

Fact №3 You can’t buy tickets to visit the Fashion Week

Normally you can’t buy tickets to the Fashion Week. All participants attend with special invitations, which designers send to their clients, buyers, partners and other designers, journalists and friends. At the showings many celebrities can be noticed: singers, actors, etc.

If you represent a magazine or want to purchase a collection, you need to contact the designer’s manager in advance and privately arrange for your participation in the show. Or you may watch fashion shows on Fashion TV
channel – online or on TV.

There is always a party at the end, however not everyone attending the fashion show participates in the after-party. You have to have a special invitation for it. If you love trendy fashion or you want to learn you need to attend FADAN Fashion, FREE ADMISSION. I will see you there
