This past weekend I was asked to walk for Yas Couture at Phoenix Fashion Week.
Arrival at 2p - Show at 10p
Yes, 8 hours of hair, makeup and fittings for this one single look. This is the life of a model.
One of my friends commented that the stage looks really slippery and the shoes look very high - a combination that is a little scary for most. Add to that a very tight and heavy dress ... obviously the time to pull out all the model tricks for a flawless show.
I can tell you that you can practice your walk all day long but the real secret ... is in the shoes.
____________________________________________________________
- Choose a size smaller and/or add the shoe insets that tighten the fit so you won't step out of one on stage
- Scuff up the bottom of your shoes and before going on stage spray hair spray on the soles for holding power.
- When walking you plant securely each step at the ball of your foot. One foot directly in front of the other like walking a straight line.
