Fashion Week is here! Whether it’s New York, London or Milan, this is a great opportunity to host a gala event for fashion lovers. If you’re hosting a Fashion Week party, here are some ideas on how to throw the most glamorous soiree of the season.
Invitations
Make your invitations look like VIP passes for your guests to wear. You can buy simple passes with lanyards from any party store. Include the invitation and directions on the passes and instruct your guests to wear them when they arrive. They’ll look and feel like celebrities.
Cocktails
Serve drinks named after fashion icons. The Karen Brown blog suggests serving a cosmopolitan renamed the “Alexander McQueen.” If you want to go even more upscale, Anucyia Victor of the Daily Mail shared recipes for the coolest cocktails that A-listers will be drinking this week, with names like Spring Collection, Ruba Rouge and Savage Beauty.
Stylish cocktails can create a more authentic atmosphere for your Fashion Week party.Food
Food should be easy to munch on while chatting with party guests. Nicole Price Fasig of Good Housekeeping has provided inspiration with stylish snacks for Fashion Week. Mini remoulade crab cakes and open-faced smoked salmon sandwiches are delicious and glamorous snacks. For dessert, Fasig suggests strawberry black pepper macaroons. You can also serve cupcakes and cookies with designer logos.
Music
The right music will help set the tone for your event. Harper’s Bazaar includes playlists from the hottest DJs and designers. Spotify has a New York Fashion Week playlist featuring the season’s hottest runway music.
Photos
A red carpet event like this needs a photo area with a backdrop to give your pictures an authentic feel. A custom banner from Sign Art Etc can give your group photos that authentic Fashion Week look.
