Fashion Show

I'm sure that everyone loves to watch/ attend fashion shows, and enjoy the new  looks that are put on  display at the shows.  Looking from the outside in, it probably seems like its easy to put on a big production such as a fashion show, well that's what I always thought when I would watch them.  I now know that fashion shows are not easy to produce and make happen at all.  It takes a huge amount of patience and communication between individuals from all types of backgrounds.  I have new found respect for the people responsible for producing fashion shows because it takes an extraordinary person to be able to give or take instruction in order to get the job done.   I can now classify myself as one of those extraordinary individuals!

Press Release- 2010

Fashion shows are events put on by fashion designers and/or merchandisers to showcase upcoming lines of clothing.  I recently took part in the production of a fashion show for a university promotion class that I am taking this semester.  The show was a huge success but could not have been done without the implementation of a press release, which is an announcement distributed to members of the press in order to supplement or replace an oral presentation.  The press release helped promote the fashion show and made people on and off campus aware of the event (fashion show) being put on.  If you ever find yourself helping to put on some type of big production, I advise you to take the time to do a press release well before the event occurs, it will make a huge difference in the turnout of your event.
