Preparing for the Fashion Show


Space Setup

Wayne Nailbar allows the possibility of changing the area into a runway for the mini fashion show. The following are the necessary steps that should be observed in the set-up process:


  • Runway Construction: A long strip of fabric, a carpet or colored tape can be used to construct the outline of the runway. Make sure that it is easy to see and easy to reach.
  • Spectators’ Seating Arrangements: Make a seating arrangement for families and friends. In order to make the atmosphere more playful and informal, consider colorful chairs or cushions.
  • Accents: Decorate the area in accordance with the theme of your head. Create a celebratory atmosphere by utilizing balloons, streamers, and table decoration pieces.
  • Light: Soft ambient lighting has the capability to create a touch of runway in any space. It might be good to use fairy lights or spotlights in order to accentuate the runway area.

Rehearsals

While participants are encouraged to put on a show, organizers are encouraged to arrange a rehearsal prior to the actual presentation. This also gives the children the opportunity to rehearse how to walk the catwalk, pose and change between outfits more than once.

Provide some input and motivation to help them to be at ease.


Preparation of Dress and Spa Look

Remind the participants to plan their outfits and spa looks in advance. A few recommendations are:



  • Designing the Outfit: Kids can style their outfits with their favorite pieces of clothes and other accessories. Let them know that it is great to experiment with different combinations.
  • Spa Treatments: Suggest taking these types of services but of shorter duration than what is offered by Wayne Nailbar: Baby manicures, baby pedicures, and even baby hairdos before the show. This includes nail and hair designs that are desired and can mix well with their outfits.

Day of the Mini Fashion Show


Arrival of Guests and Check in of Participants including the Judges/Guests

Instruct the participants to check in as soon as they arrive at the venue. Hand out name tags to the participants to promote interaction. Hands out any other items that may be needed for the day, such as any brochures that may have been prepared or a timetable for the events of the day.


Pre-Show Activities

Before you start the fashion show, organize other interesting activities so that the kids do not get bored waiting for the show to start.



  • Photo Booth: Create a photo booth with different props that fit the theme of your photo booth. This may be used by the children in taking silly snaps before the show which adds the anticipation level.
  • Mini Spa Treatments: To prepare everyone for the runway, last minute mini spa services such as nail or hair touch ups can be provided.
  • Fashion Tips: Relatively short period on how to walk the runway, pose and display outfits. Such activities may be conducted by staff, coordinators or even volunteers.

The Fashion Show

When all children are ready, the time has come for the central activity. This is the procedure you should follow when organizing the fashion show.


  • Opening Remarks: Basically a short speech to mention these points such as a few words about the purpose of the fashion show, its theme and what the audience is likely to watch.
  • Runway Walk: Models walk down the runway one after the other showing the garments designed for them at their turn. Encourage the participants to make some poses and showcase their spa looks.
  • Music: As far as music of the sequence is concerned, one may have to synthesize fast tempo songs containing fun blaring spirits to enhance the ambience.
  • Audience Engagement: It is expected that the members in the audience will roar out loud in favor of the participants creating an encouraging atmosphere which will help the participants. You could even have a “cheer best” collection as a prize for audience participation.

Judging and Prizes

After the last child has paraded along the catwalk, it would be a good option to have the children’s judges earners (parents or even staff). You may consider dividing the awards into several categories such as:


  • The best spa look was achieved by our adorable little princesses
  • The appearance of the most original and brilliant outfit by an even small child
  • The miniature people with the best accessory
  • The winner as decided by the audience


Closing Ceremony

End the show with a formal closure ceremony in which all the participants are introduced and shown appreciation for participating. Appreciate their schools and their efforts in participating. Moreover, present to all the children a participation award or a token of appreciation for their efforts.

Post Show Activities


Refreshments and Socialising

Once the fashion show has taken place, make sure that the audience can go and have refreshments after the show. You might like to include the following:


  • Healthy snacks in larges: Fruit skewers and platter filled with a variety of vegetables and dips.
  • Theme-based treats: Where cupcakes or cookies are topped with decorations of the event’s theme.
  • Beverages: There are cool drinks such as lemonade, fruit-infused water or herbal tea.



This is a good time for parents who are willing to speak with their children and recolllect their special moments whilst often praising their fellow peers’ imagination.


Feedback and Memories

Invite guests and performers to voice their opinions about the fashion show. In fact, you might want to have a praise station where they can note their most liked features.

Alternatively, you might want to consider compiling a scrapbook that contains the children’s’ comments and pictures from the event. It is a wonderful memento for each of those who took part.
