Although social media has completely transformed Fashion Week and brought the fashion happenings in the main fashion capitals closer to the general population, there is still much that is hidden and unseen. Here are 5 surprising truths about fashion week that few people know…
Even if you follow the fashion happenings at fashion weeks through various media, you cannot see everything that is hidden behind the scenes. Here are some interesting facts about Fashion Week that you might not have heard of…
1. Fashion shows never start on time
Fashion shows at fashion weeks start at least half an hour after the scheduled time on the invitation. This allows enough time for all important invitees to arrive before the event begins.
2. Anna Wintour is seated in front of others
The editor of Vogue magazine has an advantage over everyone else at fashion week. Before the rest of the invitees are allowed to enter, Anna is already seated in her seat, gracefully avoiding the media circus in the lobby.
3. First of all, you are not allowed to have your legs crossed
Ladies in the front rows of fashion shows have their legs crossed only until the start of the show. During a fashion show, crossed legs hinder the work of photographers, as raised knees in photos are not aesthetic.
4. Fashion designers give gifts to the invitees
On the seats in the first and second rows, visitors are usually treated to small favors, which fashion designers (or their PR people) leave for them in goody bags.
5. Vacant seats
Fashion shows are rarely attended by all those invited, so it often happens that even those who would otherwise only be allowed to stand can sit down.
