Those of
us who have been to a fashion show or who have at least live streamed them,
know what a chaotic mess they can be, not to mention backstage, were the models
have all of 45 seconds to one minute to get hair/makeup touched up while
dressing and undressing to get back on the runway. We are also use to major shows kicking off
15-20 + minutes late, not with Santa Fe Fashion Week!
May I
introduce you to SFFW’s newest member Ezra Estes the Fashion Coordinator, my
question to Ezra was, what is a fashion coordinator? All that I have mentioned above is exactly
what they do. Such things as keeping a clear path for models to *run* through
while undressing/dressing, making sure the flow of the runway is consistent and
flows and that designers are able to breathe.
When I asked Ezra about major shows here in New York starting 15-20
minutes late, would I expect that from SFFW, he assured me if he has anything
to do with this, this will not be the case…whew, what a relief!
