Fashion Houston is 4 nights of New York style runway shows that are open to the public! Runway fashion is theatrical and over-the-top because that\u2019s what looks good on stage. It\u2019s an art show, designed to excite and inspire you. If you copy those looks for real life, they won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

You have to modify the looks you see on the runway, so they flatter your body and work for your life.<\/p>\n

1. Copying a runway look literally doesn’t work \u2013 the look was created to look good on 6 ft-tall, size 0 model walking across a stage. If you try to wear the outfit exactly like the model does, you\u2019ll get frustrated because it won\u2019t look good on you.
\n2. Only wear silhouettes that flatter you \u2013 change the proportions or shape of a runway look so it works for you.
\n3. Translate the elements you like \u2013 incorporate colors, details, or style combinations that you like into your outfit.<\/p>\n
