So, after four days of LA Fashion week appointments, buying sprees, and fashion shows (12 in 3 days!), I’ve realized that things I thought were common sense are not so common. Follow my blog as each day I list my top ten “yes and no’s” of Fashion Shows!
Here's numero uno:
1. NO – hats in front rows . . . or anytime during the show for that matter! My mom taught me that you do not wear hats indoors (ever). Here’s the deal: I don’t care how good that hat looks on your block-head or how much it “makes" your outfit. The whole idea of attending a fashion show is to view the designer's fashions and for reporters to report/photograph those designs. When you wear a hat while sitting (or standing) in front of others, the rest of us can’t see around your hat head and can’t take photos of the designs. A lovely starlet wore a great 40's style number in front of me at David Alexander's show - guess what, I have a slew of photos of the back of that hat with a glimpse of each of the model's (sample of the BEST photo I could take when the model missed her mark to stop! Nice hat.). Sooo, while you may look mah-veh-loos, the designer (you know, the one who has been putting their heart and soul into the show for months on end) isn’t getting the justice he/she deserves. Leave your hat at home . . . or, at least, take it off for the show.
