The shows – Milan, London, and Paris
– are over for another season. Fashion
journalists can put down their notebooks
with a sigh of relief, and buyers can
return to their officers. For the designers,
there is hardly time to congratulate
themselves or lick their wounds before
the whole business starts all over again.
In just four months they must have their
next collection of clothes ready for the
March shows.

Over the next few months, designers
and their creative teams will work
together to create a spectacle that
will hopefully fire the imagination of
the fashion journalists and wake up the
buyers. If the show`s a failure and no-
one wants to buy, the designer could

was not long before he began to think
about his next collection. Designers work
a year ahead, so right now they`ll be
working on collection that will be in the
shops this time next year. However,
inspiration is not a thing that can be
turned on and off whenever you like, and
though designers work to tight schedules,
the designer starts to work with a
stylist. Together they decide on how
the collection is going to be presented
at the shows. This involves deciding
what hats, bags, belts, etc. should be
used, and the hiring of the creative
team – choreographers, producer, hair-
stylist and make-up artist. The more
money the designer has, the more
experts he or she can employ to create a

About a month ago before the show
is due to take place, the stylist will
begin to visit modeling agencies.
Getting models with the right look is
extremely difficult if the budget is
tight. Fashion shows have a reputation
for being badly paid, and often models
