fashion shows
Fashion shows are fun. They are also a complex blend of activities, many requiring split-second timing. Most fashion shows last about an hour, depending on a number of factors: the size of the audience, the number of models, the number of outfits, any entertainment or other activities.
Fashion shows can be held in the evening or early afternoon. Evening shows may last several hours and include an intermission with entertainment, while afternoon shows may include a luncheon.
The date and the venue have to be decided upon before proceeding with plans, The venue needs to include a staging area (for clothing racks and final preparations, as well as a private dressing area.

This person may locate models, fit models to clothes, and determine the order in which the clothes are displayed. The hair and makeup artist dramatizes the images of the models. A prize and program manager can coordinate door prizes and prepare the program for the event. Finally, the promotion manager will organize the promotional aspects of the show.
