What’s changed since last year?
Team registration includes 2 tickets for team members this year and only 2 team members will be allowed backstage with their model. However, all team members will be recognized at the show for their contributions.
In addition to VIP seating (first couple rows off the runway), there will be General Seating (several rows behind VIP rows), general standing (in the back) + Cabaret tables. This all comes with 2 large projection screens with live feed that is viewable from the whole room.
There will also be a live auction this year after the show.
This depends on you and your design. We will provide a guide of what previous year’s fashion took. It’s best to start as early as possible.
What is included in the team registration price?
Admission to the show, paper, hair and make up, model if needed and photo of your fashion.
