| Clothes on racks, ready to go! |
Most runway shows, especially when featuring a single designer, don't last very long but the outward appearance is deceptive. What shows up on the runway is really the 'tip of the iceberg' compared to what goes on backstage prior to the event.
Obviously, the first step is the design and manufacture of the garments, which may take several months, culminating in the designer working18 hour days - or longer - leading up to the show.

As for the area backstage, preparation starts up hours before the actual show. The garments have to be dropped off, the show has to be organized, the models have to be prepped in makeup and hair styling, and everything has to work with precision. As the Head Stylist remarked at the show I participated in, the last week in September, it's really amazing how a group of people, who have possibly never worked together before, can come together, put on a show and have it go smoothly.
In the photos with this blogpost, I'm once again taking you behind the scenes, showing where the clothes were prepared for the various segments (this was a multi-designer show) and also the models who wore my particular designs, waiting to go out on the runway.

In my next blog post, I'll take you out into the audience and show more photos from that perspective.
