Going to your first fashion show can be intimidating. Quick's Lesley Téllez interviewed F!Dluxe's David Ninh about how to prepare for Fashion at the Park at NorthPark Center.
OK, first question: What should you wear?
Dallas weather can be so fickle, but I am going to assume it will be warm and toasty. Try to look polished! Ladies, a colorful dress will make you stand out and ensure you get snapped by roving photographers. Dressy jeans with a flirty top and cropped jacket are also acceptable. Guys, please take it up a notch and attempt to sport a casual blazer, or at least a nice button-down or light sweater.
Anything special you should bring? A notebook to jot down notes, perhaps?
Bring a digital camera to record all the action on and off the runway. Since Fashion at the Park's shows feature merchandise that is available in the stores, you can take pictures of what you like and go buy it from the store that day.
How important is hanging out in the tent where they serve the champagne?
Believe me, the champagne flows before the shows. It's never-ending. Keep in mind you can't take it in the tent during the show. Sorry!
What's your best overall advice for someone who's never been to a fashion show before?
Indulge in all the fabulousness, but don't overdo it. And don't be tacky and hit on the models roving around at the tent after the shows. Feel free to holler and cheer because the night shows tend to be more high-energy and can get a bit rowdy.
