Whether you’re an aspiring fashion designer, or simply love style and fashion, organising a fashion exhibition has long been a great way to get your name out there and grow your audience. The downside? It can be expensive to do well, especially if you want high-quality pieces on display. There are, however, ways to do it on the cheap – here are five tips for getting the best deal possible when organising your next fashion exhibition.
1) Choose The Right Venue
The first step to organising a fashion exhibition on a budget is to choose the right venue. You want a space that is large enough to accommodate your exhibits and guests, but not so large that it will eat up your budget. Think about venues in your area that might work well, such as art galleries, community centres or even outdoor spaces.
2) Invite Invite Invite
1. The first step is to get the word out there about your event. You can do this by inviting fashion bloggers, local media outlets, and anyone else who might be interested in attending.
2. Once you have a list of potential attendees, start reaching out to businesses and individuals who might be interested in sponsoring your event. This can help offset the costs of putting on the exhibition.
3. Start looking for a venue that will be able to accommodate your event.
3) Catering
When it comes to catering for a fashion exhibition, you want to keep things simple. Stick to finger foods and canapés that can be easily prepared in advance. If you’re on a tight budget, ask friends and family to help out with the catering.
4) Create An Amazing Gallery
You don’t need a lot of money to create an amazing gallery. You can use recycled materials, old furniture, and even things you find around your house. Just get creative and think outside the box.
Location, Location, Location (three sentences): The location of your exhibition is important. You want to make sure it’s easily accessible and in a high-traffic area.
5) Do Not Overbook Yourself
When it comes to putting on a fashion exhibition, it is important to not overbook yourself. This means having too many designers or labels showing their collections at once. Not only will this make the event more overwhelming for guests, but it will also increase your costs. Stick to a manageable number of designers and you’ll be able to keep things more organised and within budget.
