Shine Bright in Event Planning

A lot of people think that life is like a box of chocolates.  Well, at least that’s what Forest Gump said.  He also said “You never know what you’re gonna get”.  Which is true, even when you plan thoroughly.  In planning a fashion show, event planners are excepted to surprise or “Wow” the audience.  The pressure to do so can be intimidating but very possible to do.  However, with event planning with a live performance, we must plan for the worst by identifying risk factors. We must make the audience come back for more.  


What makes a great and entertaining fashion show, you may ask?  Well, some people say that the models make the show.  Models are a huge factor in entertainment in a fashion show.  However, without event planner, the completion of the production will be compromised and ultimately sacrifice.  Event planners can be recognized as executive leaders that are able to manage a group or team of people to accomplish a common goal.  A complete production with satisfactory results should be on the minds of an event planner.

Live performances such as a fashion show comes with it’s challenges but Jessica Willis from TLC suggested to create an engaging atmosphere.  Using production material such as energetic music, proper stage lighting design, and engaging marketing material helps with maintaining the function of creativity.  Once the audience sees the level of creativity, the value of the show increase. 


As I continue to plan my fashion show, Rage on the Runway, I understand that choosing the right people for the team and the right models for the show is very important.  Picking the right people will help dress rehearsal to run smoothly and ultimately the show to be successful.  Rage on the Runway can be compare to Victoria Secret Fashion Show that has live performance and extreme scenes that are full of creativity. Which it’s important to recruit the right people to carry the vision to another level of excellence.
