Designers believe that the best way to share and celebrate fashion is to showcase their work in any event possible. These are also great opportunities for them, big and small names alike, to gain publicity and mark their brand in the fashion world. The fashion parade, also known as the Formal Runway Fashion Show is the most popular fashion event. This is where models, with specific hairstyle, makeup, and themes, parade on a platform to showcase the collection of different designers. These events usually last from 30 minutes to at least an hour giving designers time to discuss and fashion enthusiasts to purchase new fashion trends from the collection. The production fashion show is different. This is the most expensive fashion event as it requires a lot of effort and work. Special effects such as sound and lighting are very very important since a theatrical performance, not a parade on the runway, is being used to display designer collections. Not as sophisticated as production fashion shows and formal runway fashion shows, informal fashion shows take place in a rather informal environment such as department stores and other places alike. These events don't require much preparation aside from getting the models ready for their make-up and hairstyle. Models are also able to mingle with the audience. In Designer fashion shows, a designer is given at least 30 minutes to showcase his/her collection, and then another designer is given the chance to do the same. Mostly, a single brand organizes fashion events like this and categorically displays the collections. Charity fashion shows are fashion events organized for charitable purposes and humanitarian causes. Designers and fashion enthusiasts wanting to purchase items vow to give a certain percentage for charitable purposes. Sponsored fashion events, as the name suggests is organized by a particular sponsor. Designers, old and new, are invited to showcase their collections in accordance with the sponsor's liking. Conclusion Fashion shows are organized to celebrate the ever evolving fashion industry. With these events, we are able to cope up with the latest fashion trends. As mentioned above, there are many types of fashion events that fashion enthusiasts may look into attending, some with strict invitations, some with free entry. If you are planning to attend a fashion show, make sure to look fashionable and dont forget your camera. Whether you are a designer or you are someone who just really love fashion, have your self ready for exotic shopping and dont forget to smile while taking a photo of yourself as smileless models parade the runway.
