How to Go to New York Fashion Week
Fashion Week is known around the world as the place to be for anyone in the fashion industry or for anyone who wants to be there. It is a week of designer revelations, models, celebrities, parties and socializing with the best of the fashion world. New York, one stop on this extravaganza, is much like a dream to those who attend.
Step
1
Be in the industry. All of the major and minor players of the fashion industry attend and they usually bring a couple of people on their staffs, especially their assistants. If you work in the fashion industry, you will probably be attending, but if you are not planning on attending, ask you boss to go. You will need a good reason, so think fast.
Step
2
Win a contest. Many magazines and television shows offer contests to attend fashion week in New York. One such contest is hosted by the Humane Society of the Unites States in a promotion to get their employees to recruit people to sign their Fur-Free Pledge. See their website for more information on the pledge and the contest.
Step
3
Volunteer. Network at least a year in advance with designers,
fashion
magazines
or other press to see if they need a volunteer for anything. Contact the New York Chamber of Commerce for event coordinator information to offer your services also. Consider asking fashion schools in New York if they are involved and how you can help.
Step
4
Attend an exposition. During fashion week, there are a number of expos to showcase the latest in fashion and other surrounding areas to the industry. Some of them are open to the public, such as the Fashion Career Expo which is held in February. This is a huge opportunity for those who want to work in the fashion industry, as it is a chance to have months' worth of interviews packed into one day.
