When checking in backstage, beauty editors must to sure to arrive at their designated time. If not, you may lose your spot and not be granted access.
During NYFW, it’s hard for models to catch a break. Aside from bouncing around to show after show, when you’re backstage makeup artists and hairstylists are constantly creating your look all at once.
Clothing, makeup and accessories are everywhere making it difficult to move around.
Stylists, makeup artists, models, designers and the media are all in a tiny space trying to make magic happen. Moments right before the show are the most hectic as everyone is making sure the show starts on time.
Whether you’re a model, designer, makeup artist or with the media there’s no escaping cameras. Everywhere you turn cameras are in your face capturing the moment. Staying camera-ready is a must!
Because the space backstage is so small, there’s not much room to sit back and relax. Which means finding a place to eat is almost non-existent.
With all the bright lights and camera flashes, backstage can get very warm. When heading backstage for the February shows be sure to dress in layers!
There’s a bit of a waiting game that comes with fashion week. Often models are waiting for the designer or makeup artists to arrive. And, even after they’ve been styled, there’s often a wait for before the show starts. Best thing to do is grab your phone and entertain yourself.
How crowded it is?! It can be a zoo!
There’s always laughs and giggles and excitement for the upcoming show!
