Have you ever wondered what it’s like to attend fashion week as a celebrity? We see the images on our social media timelines of celebrities arriving at fashion shows, sitting front row, and gathering at the after-parties, but what’s it like during those moments in between? As glamorous and fun as it may look, there are a lot of moving parts that go into capturing those organized moments of well-dressed celebrities.
