As a buyer, it’s a good idea to book meetings with the specific brands and exhibitors you want to meet. This will ensure you have time to discuss collections in detail and create opportunities for deeper planning together with the exhibitors. Contact exhibitors early to schedule these meetings to make sure you have time to visit the brands you want.
5. PICK OUT YOUR PARTY OUTFIT
You don’t want to miss the big fashion party of the year, so bring a sparkling outfit. Fashion week is not only about daytime events but also evening activities and parties. Plan your outfits for each occasion, so that you feel great and look professional. Will it be a pair of heels or sneakers? It’s up to your party mood to decide.
6. PLAN YOUR TRIP
Lastly, make sure you have a clear plan on how to get to and from the Stockholm Fashion District. There are many transport options such as the nice trip with the SL boat to Nacka Strand (Boat 80 goes directly from Nybrokajen). There are also several other options such as bus 433 from Slussen, car, taxi or if you live nearby you can choose the environmentally friendly option of cycling. Planning your trip saves time and reduces stress.
Make sure to prepare the last things before the most fun fashion week of the season. By following these six steps, you will be well prepared and allow yourself to enjoy Fashion Week Trade to the fullest. With the right planning and a structured approach, you can maximise your experience and make valuable contacts in the fashion industry… and you won’t leave that party dress hanging in your closet.
