I Can Hear The Bells!

This might be hard to believe, but I have NEVER been to a trunk show! If I ever had the chance to go to a trunk show I would definately make it in the bridal industry! Just think, every bride wants to feel special and like a princess for their big day. What is better way than to get special treatment, get looks right off the runway, and even meet the designer at a trunk show?!? NOTHING!!!

Look at what Belle Vie Bridal has to say about trunk shows:

Trunk shows allow the store to preview and for customers to purchase garments before it is available to the public or just as it comes of the runway! Usually small businesses have the designer to be at the trunk show events to increase sales!


Recently, we all watched Kim Kardashian get married! For those who aren't aware, her dress was by Vera Wang. I don't know about you, but I wished that I could have a dream wedding like her! Looking at the Vera Wang trunk show below, I know that I could! Vera treats not only Kim as a princess, but every potential bride. Just look at the chocolates, wine, tons of beautiful dresses, entertainment, styling assistance, and much more! It is such an intimate setting, that it makes shopping for your day well worth it.

Trunk shows are important to the consumer because it makes them feel special! But think about the designer/brand. It builds such brand loyalty. Designers get to see what their customers want, get to know their customers, and of course get to hear tons of compliments all night long! In such an intimate setting with making consumers happy, sales are known to increase as well!

So have any of you been to a trunk show? Am I the only one that wishes to attend a bridal trunk show?

Oh well look here, I personally invite you to Vera Wang's Spring 2012 Trunk Show! Let's GO!

It's no longer a secret!

We all are well aware of traditional runway shows with tons of garments running down the cat walk with many celebrities and fashion icons around. We all have seen designers who changed this traditional style like Dior. But for me Victoria Secret is a very important run way show because it made the runway a television event!

 

Just think about all the people like me that don't really get a chance to go to a runway show. Victoria's Secret allows me to get a front row seat from my couch to see their runway show!My favorite Victoria's Secret show is 2010- 2011. The models walk freely with their own style. Their is tons of music, lights flashing, and people dancing! By being on television, this does take the fashion runway to a whole new level. You get to see all of the "behind the scene" events. The models get to speak about the pieces instead of being just a "human hanger" in other runway shows. Victoria's Secret has created a great brand loyalty through these fashion shows. Not to mention having celebrities like Katy Perry sing on the runway! Victoria's Secret allowed for their runway show to be their trademark as well as their angel wings! Victoria's Secret really pushes the envelope when it comes to runway shows.

Do you think broadcasting runway shows is successful?

A Spanish Dream!

Victoria's Secret show loves to tell a story! In this show you see the character figures to the variety of sports. Some might say it is over the top, but that's what makes this show so different and important. Your on TV! Everything needs to be a bit more dramatic! I can't wait to see Victoria's Secret 2011-2012 show!
