“Behind the Curtain” Experience

Attending these events as a fashion student will allow you to see what life is like in this industry which is one of the most desirable and luxurious industries in the world, but you will also notice at one of these events that there is an extraordinary amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. You get the obvious benefits of seeing the latest styles, seeing famous faces and soaking up the atmosphere, but you also see “behind the curtain” which is invaluable experience as a student.

Communication & Networking

Another important reason to go to a fashion week is the networking and communication side. It will provide you with the opportunity to speak with industry professionals and observe how they interact with one another which will allow you to develop communication skills which are so important in this line of work. You can also use this special opportunity to network and forge connections which could help you to get a foot in the door when the times comes to find work in this highly competitive industry.

Build Confidence

Perhaps the most important reason for a student to attend a fashion week is the fact that it is a chance to build your confidence. This is something which can be difficult to build at college and is something that is garnered through real-life experience and events don’t get any bigger than Fashion Week. In addition to having great fun at these glamorous events, you will return home feeling inspired and full of confidence knowing that you have greater experience and insight than before.

Making the Most of the Experience

It is important to note that in order to make the most out of a Fashion Week you will need to plan in advance. It can get incredibly busy all over the city so think about events you want to attend, travel and accommodation in advance. Additionally, if you really want to experience what life is like in the fashion industry then you could fly on a private jet for affordable prices by booking empty leg flights – an amazing experience which will give you a taste of the high life.

Munich Oktoberfest

Actually, the world’s biggest folk festival, yep that’s right, it’s a folk festival, runs from mid-September and is pretty much finished by the start of October, but maybe Septemberfest doesn’t have the same ring about it.  It’s the scale of this event that will ensure a memorable experience: six million visitors, seven million litres of beer, a hundred oxen.  Essentially, it’s about sitting at a bench in a vast tent drinking beer, eating giant pretzels, cooked chicken and bits of oxen, surrounded by people in lederhosen and dirndls and having a whale of a time.  There’s a reason why it’s so popular but maybe you’ll have to try it for yourself to understand.

A London Pub Crawl

A British pub is a unique institution and the finest examples of this endangered species are to be found in the nation’s capital.

A central London walk of just over a mile will enable you to experience six of the city’s finest boozers.  What better way to spend an afternoon?  And when night falls you can either hit the dance floor of a nightclub or laugh yourselves silly at a comedy club.

Las Vegas

Vegas is a bachelor party.  It’s got everything a boy could want and more.  The most famous casinos in the world: Caesar’s Palace, The Bellagio, The Golden Nugget.  Some of the finest dining you’ll find anywhere: the 3 Michelin starred Joel Robuchon Restaurant, where a sixteen-course menu will take you over three hours to consume.  Extraordinary bars such as the Mermaid, where a huge tank is filled with, you guessed it, mermaids.  Equally extraordinary museums, such as the Imperial Palace Auto Collection where you can see Hitler’s merc, JFK’s Lincoln and cars which belonged to Howard Hughes and Al Capone.  And then there’s the outrageous hotels, the spectacular entertainment…just do it.

Amsterdam

I know I said it’s not about self-annihilation and degradation but Amsterdam doesn’t have to be like that.  I am aware that many young men have visited the city solely for the purpose of being able to imbibe a substance prohibited elsewhere.  I am also aware that the sex trade is very much in the foreground of this city, but there’s a lot more to this city than shows and coffee shops.  The centre of Amsterdam is old, beautiful and full of great bars and places to eat.  A canal cruise, with a few beers is a great way to enjoy the unique appeal of this city.  And if you enjoy art, let’s bust a few stereotypes here, then Amsterdam has several museums you really shouldn’t miss.

Prague

A very popular bachelor party destination and for one very good reason.  Whereas your litre of beer at the Ocktoberfest will cost you in excess of ten euros, in Prague it’ll more likely be two.  Like Amsterdam, Prague has a fantastic old city and it’s wonderfully easy to walk.  If you do need the metro, a twenty-four-hour ticket will cost you all of three euros.  Or if you feel the need of a little exercise you and your mates can visit the bars, clubs and casinos on a gargantuan beer bike.
