Wardrobe Staff Training

Updated: Apr 13, 2023

Welcome to the Wardrobe, it is a sacred place.

Items are categorized by theme, shoot, party, and hangers are color coded for size.


Please be mindful of the garments, they have a very big part to play in the success of your event and future events.


No Food or Drinks in SHOOT QUALITY GARMENTS

If a model must drink, undress or wear a plastic cape, even for a water bottle.

A drop of water can ruin or delay a shoot


GARMENT CARE

I am Very Particular about the Wardrobe & garment care.

Treat every item as delicate & priceless.

Treat every person at a fitting as delicate & priceless also.

Distressed items can ruin an entire photo shoot.

People will hide spills for embarrassment, check even if they say it is okay.
