Fashion Week Etiquette, PR Edition: Tantrums Will Get You Nowhere

RULE #1: BE NICE
Bonnie Morrison  says, “People outside the industry forget that it’s a trade show (not a circus, discotheque). People inside the industry forget that it’s not a contract or hostage negotiation (with a set of conditions, demands). Like anything in life, the fundamental rules apply: be nice, play fair, say please and thank you. People really do remember it…and they remember its opposite even longer.”


RULE #2: DON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR FRIENDSHIP
Just because we got wasted together at a fashion party doesn’t mean I have to invite you to shows.’ BUT! I think a more serious quote is, ‘Requesting a standing room ticket does not make it any easier on us. We still have to add you to the RSVP list, check you in at the front, and give you a standing room ticket when planning the seating chart.

RULE #3: IT’S WORK, NOT PLAY
“Hundreds of hours, and plenty of blood, sweat and tears go into producing a fashion show…so just remember that for most of us, Fashion Week is a business - not a party.”
