HOW do you go about volunteering within PR or seating at Paris fashion week? Me and my friend are dying to volunteer next year but can’t work out how! I need to know really what PR companies to contact and ask to volunteer for!
Help!

Hahaha you’re so right about everything!! I did my fair share of working backstage, the last one I did just yesterday, it was a big hot mess, and like you said – no glamour whatsoever. I was prepared for it, of course, but people who only read about fashion shows in magazines don’t really understand what’s it like 🙂

Haha this is great! I always expected it wouldn’t be as glamorous as I’ve imagined but at the same time, I always HOPED it would be as glamorous as I dreamed. This article puts that dream to sleep (unfortunately!). Great article, very funny, but you can definitely tell it’s so very very true (damn it).

Seems crazy, but slightly fun — in the craziest of ways! Awesome article 🙂

Absolutely agreed! My first experience as a volunteer at NYFW was very similar!
Looking back, I believe I was more prepared to work hard (in anyway that means), than some other high-heels-girls that were in the same group as I was. Funny enough for not being on heels, the “headset people” would come to me more often, almost as if they trust me more for being ready to “jump the fence”.
I even had to scrape a huge white sticker from a glass after the shoots in the backstage – believe me Glamour was a far, far away land!
But overall it was an amazing experience that really prepared me to the industry and it’s non-glamourous face.
Truly recommend it!
