I'm so excited! I landed a job as a stringer so I get to be in the tents, like with an official invitation and everything! I have to do work while I'm there BUT I AM SO DYING OF EXCITEMENT HERE. Seriously. It's not every show and it's sort of a trial situation but I AM SO EXCITED!

Is anybody else going? I know it's hard to get in, but I figure there must be some TPFers that go.

Eeek! So much to do before Feb! I need to figure out what to wear, how to act, questions to ask, who to focus on...

I am thinking business suits since I need to be professional. Maybe I could get an LV agenda and replace the calendar with paper so I can take notes in it. Hm...

^^ Oh I will wordpast! Eeek! I have soooo much research to do now. It's not enough to know the brands and their history, now I feel like I need to know the back story on the people I will be seeing there.

I will have an official photographer from the magazine with me, so I am not supposed to be taking pics and the ones he takes will be for the magazine. I was trying to figure out how I could get a spy cam in with me but since it's my first fashion week I don't really want to get booted.

This is a trial thing atm, so hopefully things go well and I get to go next season too!

I will however get to interview celebs and designers! Exciting!

Congratulations! Please pardon my ignorance, but what is a stringer?

At any rate, if your position calls for a suit, then by all means that would be the way to go. Since it's Bryant Park, maybe you could add a little "edge" to the outfit with unexpected shoes or a jacket with an usual cut or a blouse in a contrasting color that doesn't so much blend with the suit, but jumps out, so to speak. IDK, just thoughts off the top of my head.

Have a great time and YEA!!! for you. How wonderful!:yahoo:

Hey girls,

A stringer is a loose term for a kind of reporter. Hope that helps to explain things a little.

I've been looking at photos snapped here and there of the press and most of them seem to wear head to toe black :confused1: -- do I really HAVE to wear all black? Oh dear.
