A Day in the Life of a Fashion Week Model

Fit for Show
Before models can take to the runway, they must meet the designer for a fitting to decide what clothes they will wear for the show. Above, Markey is fitted by designer Sally LaPointe for a show to be held the following day. This process usually lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes per model but can stretch late into the night, as designers finalize who will wear what.
