EVENT ORGANIZER
Special Event Organizer
An event organizer company in fashion are in charge of booking space for
fashion shows, hiring models, scheduling fittings, finalizing which clothing
and accessories will be shown, handling publicity, and even arranging
seating and refreshments. Even though fashion event coordinating sounds
like way too much fun, there is so much planning and work involved. You
have to be really organized to pull this off. Ultimately, fashion event
organizers have one goal to increase the identity of a store or a brand.
While this job sounds perfect for those who reside in New York City or
Los Angeles, think again. Thinking you must be from a major metropolitan
city in order to become a fashion event organizer is like saying you need
to be from New York to be a writer. As long as you have the skills, the
drive, and aren’t afraid to fly, you can learn this job. You can
do this type of work from any town in any country. You just need to know
your stuff.
