What I Learned from KLFW 06

Here are what I've learned from the recent KL Fashion Week:

1. NEVER believe a fashion designer when they say that the dateline is end of the month. It means tomorrow.

2. Always be prepared for unexpected twists in their requirements on a daily basis. Example: Designer's think that curtains can be shrunk today and miraculously grow in length tomorrow.

3. Designers are super fickle minded. Please refer to no. 2.

4. You can always use someone's writing table to add height to your inadequate ladder for those hard to reach places.

5. Photo shoots are done at night and and it is IMPARATIVE to hang every piece of curtain up before they start shooting. Otherwise, be prepared to wait for 4 hours before they decide to take a break so you can finish your job.

6. Lunch, tea and dinner do not exist in the fashion industry. No wonder the people here are super skinny. Please refer to no. 5.

7. Models CAN be nice and polite.

8. The job is NOT FINISHED until the show and party is over. They expect you to entertainment them on a daily basis.

9. Designers can be kiam siap and expects lotsa freebies to get their business. And then they charge thousands for their dresses.

10. You have to chase designers for your payment at clubs because they are nocturnal and do not rise during day time.

11. It only takes 1/4 of the time to remove what we have put up.

Will I do another KLFW? I'll make sure I get a good team the next round.
