What is the Staged Fashion trend?
Staged Fashion: The fashion show is where buyers get their first experience of a designer, making it one of fashion’s most important marketing channels. To really stay in buyers’ minds, designers are focusing their efforts on attention-grabbing—if not completely bizarre—production and theatrics. Now, the “bigger” the show, the better, and the runway is becoming a stage where anything and everything can happen.
