In the week leading up to New York Fashion Week, we’ll be bringing you dishy tell-alls from the behind-the-scenes folks who make fashion week run. Here, an inside view into the moments before a model steps on the runway. IMAXTREE – Continue Reading BelowPhoto: IMAXTREEWhen I was 22, I worked for a well-known stylist. She wasn’t a celebrity like Rachel Zoe, but she was definitely very noteworthy among the fashion set. Besides dressing up-and-coming celebrities, she got a lot of campaign work fcvfrankfurt.de , and of course, she was overbooked during fashion week with runway shows—everyone from CFDA winners to more mainstream labels with tons of money but no idea how to make their clothes look cool. And since I was her assistant, I got to be the “lead dresser” backstage at every show. Every. Single. Show.My work started the night before, as I stapled model photos and Polaroids of every look onto giant cardboard posters. Those are so every dresser knows what goes on the model—so I had to take Polaroid pictures of the shoes, the bags, the jewelry, anything and everything the model is wearing on the runway. Often, my boss would need to see the final looks once I was finished, so at one or two a.m., I would have to meet her outside The Beatrice Inn, where she was having drinks with random famous people, so she could approve everything before the show.The day of the show, dressers arrive backstage about an hour before it starts. They’re mostly students from fashion schools who are excited to be backstage at a show, or interns already with the label. Each dresser is assigned to a model, and each has a rack with the poster, the Polaroids, and every item for every look. It’s actually really hard to screw it up! At least, that’s what I always thought until someone screwed it up.It was my job to make sure each dresser had the model’s assigned pair of shoes—but some models give incorrect sizes, especially since European sizes are all over the place. Ill-fitting shoes are the reason models fall on the runway, and that’s a disaster for any designer (although the compilations on YouTube are hilarious). So like 15 minutes before a show would start, I would have to run to whatever drug store was across the street from the show and buy extra shoe inserts for the models. If I didn’t have time, I’d have the dressers grab every paper towel from the bathroom that they could and stuff it in the shoes. – Continue Reading BelowI think some of the dressers honestly thought it would be like on that episode of The Hills, where one of the models doesn’t show up to the DKNY show, so they’d be asked to walk the runway instead. Most arrived ready to work, but there was always one who came in full makeup, full heels, and in my head, I was like, “Wait, the role of Whitney Port has already been cast.” Those were also the dressers who would actually try on the clothes or the accessories, which is of course a huge faux pas.Keeping the other dressers in line was easy though, compared to some of the models. There was this urban legend going around one season that a very big model had smuggled a bag out of the show underneath her hoodie. And that that bag was floating around eBay, six months before it was supposed to go on sale, for like $5,000. So that season, we had to check and double check all the models’ stations to make sure everything was still there. Then there was the time a model did the “revolving door” thing. She exited the runway fcvfrankfurt , then kept walking right back onto the entrance again, and she walked the catwalk a second time! There was really nothing we could do, so we all just laughed backstage and hoped nobody noticed. Sometimes you just have to shrug and say, “It’s only fashion.”Related: Fashion Week Confidential: The Show Crasher Related: Fashion Week Confidential: The Nightclub Bouncer
