For those headed to New York Fashion Week (NYFW), Fashion Weeks in general, or perhaps aspiring creatives dying to get into fashion season’s exclusive events, having these Fashion Week essentials tucked into your bag will make your life a thousand times easier. While NYFW is a dream come true, there is chaos that comes with it. Shows will be scattered around Manhattan and even into Brooklyn, photographers now pick the craziest outfits to take pictures of rather than the best-dressed and food.
After experiencing just one fashion week, you’ll know why this industry isn’t for the faint of heart. To make it a little easier, Fashion Reverie has put together a list of must-have items to bring with you NYFW (or any Fashion Week you might be off to, congrats!)

Portable Charger
Whether you’re trying to capture content for social media, look for clues as to what’s trending, or are just mapping yourself around the city, phones can quickly lose charge. Nothing is worse than being in the middle of Fashion Week (or New York in general) without a working phone! Tuck a portable charger into your purse to avoid this snafu.

Snacks + Water
Some places might have water, but it’s always best to bring your own. Along with this a good snack or two is a must. You never know when a show is going to run long and cut out the time you scheduled to run and grab a bite on the go. Anything you can tuck into your purse from granola bars to trail mix is excellent. And try to add in that mini water bottle and refill when you can.

A few make-up touch-ups
A full make-up change won’t be possible for most editors and creatives during NYFW but bringing a few items to touch up your face as you run around town like a fashionable chicken with no head will truly be a game changer. In your purses, tuck items such as foundation, highlighter, blush, and an eyelash curler if there’s space!

Small accessories to change your outfit
Doing a full outfit change between events is difficult, instead, try to go for basics and pack some accessories that will give the flair of the designer’s show you’re attending. This makes the look more versatile and can help you capture the eye of street-style photographers when it comes to looking like you belong at an event or show.

Shoe insoles
Firstly, let’s do you a favor and say it’s best to wear some stylish flats when dashing around the city. However, if you’re going to pop on some heels, adding shoe insoles then or later will be one of the best decisions you make during the week.

Deodorant
New York in September can be muggy, and nothing will ruin a photo more than sweat stains … not to mention the fact you don’t want to be in a glittering room smelling as if you just ran a half marathon. We all beg you–bring a mini deodorant and tuck it in your ever-growing bag of NYFW essentials!!

Pocket Fragrances
Along with deodorant, bringing a fragrance along to reapply is a great choice for smelling fresh and fashionable all day long. At Fashion Reverie, we usually grab a few pocket perfumes from Fresh Coffret Selection. They have four distinct scents that are great to bring with you on the go; Citrus Grandis, Lost in Paradise, African Rooibos, and Tokyo Blue. Each one has a unique and elegant scent that will complement any outfit.
