Kinds Of Fashion Shows

Basically there are following kinds of fashion shows-

• Formal - It has a definite theme; it is a staged production with a script and a commentary. It generally has an invited audience, which is usually seated. It incorporates all or most of the elements in a theatre. The informal show is a presentation whose theme is not as emphatically identified as in the formal show. It relies on a comparatively loose structure with promotion, ranging and direction not as tightly planned and rehearsed as in the formal show.>

• Informal- The informal show does not have a script and a commentator- the audience may read descriptive information from cards and programs. The formal fashion show again has two formats:
  

a)The runway show:

it uses a defined 'runway' (ramp) presenting the merchandise in a scheduled sequence that is timed to run at a pre determined pace.

b)The theatrical show:

It uses special staging, scenery, skits, dialogue, music and dancing to demonstrate fashion styles and trends.
