UpNXT Show Services
UpNXT Show Production Services
FashioNXT provides the following services for UpNXT fashion shows:
Show Producer & Staff:
FashioNXT provides a show producer and support staff — backstage manager, usher, stage manager, audio-visual tech, DJ, and security. The Producer will work with the designer for all aspects of your show; coordinating staff and the resources required.
Models:
FashioNXT will provide up to 8 sample-size runway models following a casting process.
Note: UpNXT designers do not get a choice of their own models.
Hair, Makeup, and Styling:
FashioNXT provides a team of experienced hair & makeup professionals, who sets a neutral style scheme for all the UpNXT designers. As the designer shares models with other abutting shows, designer must abide by the overall hair, makeup, and styling scheme set by the Producer. Models must adhere to the runway presentation instruction and style of FashioNXT runway producer.
Note: UpNXT designers do not receive their own hair and makeup scheme.
Apparel, Shoes and Accessories:
All the pieces an UpNXT contestant presents on the runway must be their original designs designed and made by them. This means, an Apparel Design contestant must have all the apparel pieces designed and made by them; a Shoe and Accessories design contestant must have all the shoes and accessories designed and made by them.
Apparel Designer Contestants are encouraged to arrange shoes and accessories for their own show, upon consultation with the Producer. FashioNXT instructs models to provide two pairs of shoes: basic black and basic brown heels (shoe designers are exempt, as they provide the shoes).
For apparel designers, accessories must be an insignificant part of the look presented on the runway. In the case of third-party accessories being presented, they must not be explicit in logo attribution or other identifiers. If the shoe and accessories providers wish to be featured alongside the designer in the show program and/or on-screen logo attribution, they must pay a separate fee of $500 to FashioNXT.
For Accessories Designer contestants in UpNXT Accelerator, apparel must be a non-highlighting part of the looks presented on the runway. In the case of third-party apparel being presented, they must not be explicit in logo attribution or other identifiers. If the apparel providers wish to be featured alongside the designer in the show program and/or on-screen logo attribution, they must pay a separate fee of $500 to FashioNXT.
