MODEL EXPECTATIONS

  • Models should bring a robe or quick cover-up to travel between rooms to change. Models cannot wear the designer’s clothes back and forth.
  • Don’t forget the lotion or body moisturizer.
  • NEVER directly exchange contact information with designers, boutique staff, or clients during the fitting/rehearsal or show. All inquiries and instructions should go through DC Fashion Week. You can exchange it after fashion week.
  • Be cooperative and pay attention.
  • Keep the designers’ and stylists’ merchandise in perfect condition.
  • Never sit, eat, smoke, or drink in a designer’s outfit. This will get you ejected from the show, especially if the director sees it.
  • Do not eat or smoke once your makeup has been done. Drinking is permitted ONLY with a straw.
  • Keep backstage conversation to a minimum, using a low whisper.
  • Dress and undress quickly.

  • Listen carefully to the Model Coordinator and Commentator for instructions.
  • Never bring children, friends, or family backstage, in prep areas, or in the dressing room at any time.
  • Feel free to bring reading materials, iPods, or anything to keep you occupied. It’s going to be a long day. You are responsible for your belongings.
  • Never walk or linger in the hallways, especially during intermission. There should be no models in the hallways 30 minutes prior to the scheduled door opening time.
