,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Putting on a Fashion Show is always a nerve wracking experience!……Back stage, no matter how organized you are, and how much you have prepared…..is always tumultuous!! In the photos you see the models lining up to be called to enter the runway…..Notice the man at the lower right wearing the head phones. He is talking with the “music” man and the man in charge of the lighting cues. They have gone over the timing a dozen times before the show starts. In the 20 years that I did shows I never had a major problem…..The most tragic thing to happen was a broken zipper! There were always sample makers at the ready to handle any problem…….even if that meant a model had to be sewn into the dress…….The photo at the upper right shows me and a group of the models after the show! The pressure valve has been released, and everyone was happy, and did a fantastic job!
This is interesting, Louis! Thank you for posting these pictures and explaining what was going on behind the scenes. Beautiful clothes!
Are fashion shows still of significance?
