New York Fashion week is coming up in a matter of weeks, so it’s time to break out the best ensembles your closet can offer. But if you’re ready to channel the Fashion Week vibe without actually attending, why not throw your own fashion party?
Hear us out: a fashion-themed party with runway games and a chance for friends to showcase their best dresses will be a tremendous hit.
Fashion week (beginning in February) is a covetable event with a lot of coverage and a very limited guest list.
However, you can channel all the hype and fashion from afar! Trick out your next party into the biggest fashion event of your neighborhood with these five creative tips:
5 Fashion Party Tips and Tricks Worthy of NYFW
You don’t need to spend a fortune to host your own fashion party. Your fashion-enthusiastic friends will be happy enough having an occasion to show off their finest outfits.
Here are five planning tips to get your party started:
1. Fashion Challenge (The Homemade Runway)
The catwalk is a fashion show must-have, so why not bring that same exciting procession into your living room? You and your friends can take turns owning the runway and showing off the chic fashion ensembles you’ve put together.
It’s free, and you don’t need to build an actual catwalk across your floor. A folded sheet or some rugs will do.
Want to make it an exciting contest? Vote on the best dressed of the night. Just make sure if there’s any kind of a theme, everyone gets the memo.
2. A Killer Runway Track List
What would a runway show be without the addition of a thumping soundtrack? Models need upbeat music to walk to as they parade their do-ups and magnificent outfits down the catwalk.
Consider EDM or pop music playlists (dig around for remixes to really fit the theme or follow Billboard’s lead).
3. Elegant Cocktails
Drinking may not be so casual during NYFW, but you and your party friends are in luck. Libations make a great addition to special events and help people socialize more easily.
Consider a themed drink or a special cocktail that goes along with your NYFW celebrations such as martinis, manhattans, and shooters. If you’re trying to capture all the energy in a fun way, consider looking for a photo booth for sale.
4. Fashion Magazine Scavenger Hunt
Maybe you’re looking for a creative way to pass the time while you and your party guests wait for the big event of the night. Maybe you’re just in need of a fun collaborative game.
Try your hand at a fashion magazine scavenger hunt! Browse magazines for popular trends, celebrities, and brand name ads or mentions, and offer winners rewards and goodies for completing first.
5. Skincare Treatments
If you sell makeup, a fashion party would be the ultimate place for a presentation and sampling. Otherwise, skincare treatments (such as peels and masks) are a perfect addition to your fashion get together.
