- 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.
