Your Guide to Hosting a Fashion Event

 

In the fashion world, hosting events to promote products or commemorate a special day are dotted across every fashion lover’s calendar. When it comes to hosting your own, the planning process can come with a whole range of emotions. From excitement to stress, and everywhere in between, it is likely that you will need to turn to some handy tips to help you through your planning. Such tips will ensure that everything goes smoothly in the run up to the big day, and that the event itself exceeds your own expectations. If you are struggling to find some useful advice, it’s a good idea to read a short guide on how to host a fashion event.

Promote the event

One of the most important parts to hosting an event is ensuring you have enough people attending. Without promoting it, it is unlikely that you will gather enough excitement and traction in your target community. You could take to social media to reach a large amount of people, but it also helps to have promotional goods given out across your area to let people know about the event. Custom tote bags and personalized tote bags are an especially good route to go down when promoting a fashion event. You could even give these out at the event, so people can remember how great it was and anticipate the next one from you. The best option here is finding a totebags wholesale supplier online, to save you both money and time.

Invite big names

Many fashion events will have a special guest in attendance, which will not only attract more people to the event, but which will gain you significant media attention. Ideally, you should invite as many big names as you can to attend as a VIP guest. You should consider bolstering the theme of your event by asking certain fashion moguls to open the event. However, it is also a great idea to give emerging designers the chance to shine by inviting them to have a slot in your show. When involved alongside world-class entertainment, people are likely to be impressed by the spectacle you have put on.

Choose the right venue

Sometimes, choosing the wrong place to host a fashion event can result in numerous disasters: not enough people attending; not being able to accommodate your show, and having to spend far more on catering. Lots of venues include a catering option when you plan big events with them, so that your guests will never go hungry or thirsty. If you choose a strategic location for your event to be based, more people will be able to locate and attend the venue. Most importantly, you must ensure the space is suitable in size and the facilities it has, so there are no hiccups when it comes to setting up on the day. Some venues will be experts at hosting such events, but you might also choose a special place to host your event if you are commemorating a special person or day in the fashion world.

Fashion Bomb’s Better than Success Brunch in Philly Sponsored by Martini & Rossi + Fab Ways to Wear Black & White

Happy Monday, Bombers and Bombshells!
This past weekend, I made my way to the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, for the latest edition of our Convos with Claire Series: our Fashion Bomb Daily x Better than Success Brunch!



With the theme of Collaboration over Competition, I partnered with fellow Martini & Rossi ambassador and entrepreneur Nicole Purvy to have a networking event focused on fashion, fun, empowerment, and education. I chatted it up with Philly based Fashion Designers Iris Barbee Bonner of These Pink Lips and Alnika Lovello of Lovello Elizabeth about their keys to success. After chatting with the designers, Nicole and I chopped it up about hard lessons learned from starting our own businesses, building teams, and riding the various waves that come along with creating your own path and platform.


Delicious food by Bare Hand Love Cuisine and nonstop Martini & Rossi mimosas set the scene for an inspirational afternoon. Each brunch keeps getting better as the Fashion Bomb Family continues to grow. We are more than just a website: we are a worldwide web of fashion enthusiasts looking to flourish together. Philly has lots of flavor, so the fusion was seamless.


With a black and white themes, Philly Bombers and Bombshells came to slay. Take a look:

The Fearless Fashionista looked great in faux leather and polka dots.

Of course she followed the theme down to her footwear. Yes to those blanc et noir boots!


Polka dots were also on tap for Danielle Shortt, who punched up her ensemble with red lips.

Gucci accessories uplifted the black and denim look.

Icy hair was a great accent to this gingham ensemble.

Kristin from the Fashion Organization Famus.org paired a black fanny pack with a crop top and pants.

A hoodie and a frothy skirt mixed sporty with feminine chic.

Designer Alnika Lovello repped for her brand in a logo tee, camo pants, and black and white accessories.

@ThesePinkLips designer Iris Bonner posed in her own design. Yes to this dress!

This white, slightly sheer dress was the perfect summer dress.

And this designer showed off her artistry in an architectural look and fuchsia heels.

Fellas represented as well! I lived for @ZayasWardrobe‘s interpretation of the theme.

And Bombers @_heluxxury_ and @Ibeenaproblem_ mixed colors, textures, and tones. Hot!

My fabulous co-host Nicole Purvy looked bomb in a black dress.

As for me, I represented for Philly designer These Pink Lips in a trench printed with the phrase, “Black Girl Magic!”
It was an amazing time and I enjoyed meeting every single one of you!


Thank you for your words of encouragement, support, prayers, and well wishes. Thank you all for being a key part in the Fashion Bomb Family.
We are about to embark on something new and exciting. I can’t wait to share it with you. We welcome you on this ride.
