Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week officially started in NYC and for many PR girls, it’s the busiest time of the year. For M and I, we get the honor of attending with clients but that doesn’t mean we get to just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. With a couple of shows to attend this weekend, there are several things to remember to bring along and prep for.
- Bring a big bag to fit all of your essentials plus any swag from the show
- Make sure you have your best camera
- Pack a small pair of back-up flats. The commute from Hoboken to Lincoln Center calls for these.
- Think about what you’ll wear ahead of time. I’ll be in all black, in true PR fashion.
- Find time to get your nails done. I tend to forget my manicure at home…
- Write down contact information for the videographer, photographer or anyone else you’re supposed to meet
- Double confirm that you and your client are on the list
- Don’t forget emergency contact information for the PR rep and email proof of your confirmed attendance (just in case)
- Have a pen to take notes so you don’t forget the looks you love
- Make sure you can easily access all of your social media accounts (don’t forget to follow us @nycprgirls on both Twitter and Instagram Xo)
- Number one priority, make sure your clients are happy before, during and after the show

Great list, Adrianna! From conference experience, we would add: bring chargers! If you’re live-tweeting, battery drains FAST!
We prep by reading our favorite sites & watch livestreams of the shows; love viewing PR in-action!
Have a nice evening!
Best,

Thanks, Lisa. Great idea and appreciate your comment! Hope you got my email
Fab list! I agree with Lisa by saying bringing a charger. Also I’d add a snack. I know some may think it’s “ghetto” but I’m just talking about fruit snacks, pretzels, ginger ale, or water. Something you can munch on to calm your stomach so you don’t walk around starved. Lol.
Agreed. We love to munch…chocolate sounds good this time of year!
I hope one day I get to attend a NYFW show! Do you two work for a PR agency or is nycprgirls your own & you have clients who are in fashion?
Hi! We actually both work for PR agencies.
Cool! Which ones?
