Fashion Week is a fantastic time to network and make new friends. Strike up a conversation in the Press Room or while waiting in line for a show. Complimenting an outfit or accessory is a good ice breaker with fashionistas. Be generous and give away any spare tickets for shows you can't attend. There are lots of perks during the week, like free hair cuts and makeovers that remain unadvertised, so having good relationships with people in the know is everything. If you're still standing at the end of the day, the evenings are filled with fashion parties all over the city offering free drinks, goodie bags and a glimpse of celebrities. You may need to RSVP for the more exclusive ones but keeping an eagle eye on Twitter should help to keep you in the loop.
