Attending a Fashion Show: Getting ready, Getting There & Tips

Attending fashion shows can be a lot of fun, but it can also be quite exhausting - especially if you have multiple shows lined up for the day and if it’s your first time attending. There are a few things that you can do to make the process a bit easier and less stressful.

In this article, we will discuss the 101 tips on how to prepare for a trip to fashion show.

Getting There: Stay Safe On The Road

Before you hit the road for your next show or for a fashion week, take your time to consider the safety precautions. Without a question, traveling solo can be dangerous, and it is always better to be safe than sorry anyway. Most types of car accident injuries in Florence are caused by speeding or not obeying traffic laws. Here are a few tips on how to stay safe while traveling:

  • Don’t keep your route secret. Put your route into Google Maps and then share it with someone, so that they know where you will be going. This way, if something happens, they will know where to look for you.
  • Pack a first aid kit. If you’re traveling on your own in a car, keep a first aid kit with you at all times. If you get injured, you will have everything that you need to take care of yourself. Most likely you won’t, but even then you will have enough sticking-plaster for the blisters from your high heels.
  • Bring an external battery for your phone. Bring a charged cell phone with you and an external battery - if you will be filming a lot, you’ll need it.
  • Drive carefully. Obviously! Be careful and always obey the speed limit. Be aware of your surroundings and be cautious of other drivers on the road.

These were just some basic tips to make sure your day at a fashion show goes off without a hitch.
