GREEN FASHION WEEK IS AN UNITED NATIONS INITIATIVE and is PATRONIZED BY THE MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT


Frequently Asked Questions:


  1. Do the designers have to stay in L.A. for the entire week? It will be convenient since it will be a beautiful adventure therefore, it would be a pity not to stay the entire week.
  2. Where are the hotels located? Roosevelt Hotel in L.A. March 30,31 (7000 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028-6003); Longstreet Inn Casino & RV Resort in Amargosa Valley, Nevada April 1; Tuscany Suites & Casino in Las Vegas April 2,3,4.
  3. Can the designers bring extra guests? Of course, the designers if they wish can bring extra guests at their own expense. GFW will not be responsible for flight tickets and hotel accommodations.

  4.  Do the designers have a choice/influence on choosing the models, Hair and Make-up and or music? We will cast the  models before your arrival. Concerning make-up, hairstyle and  music it will be difficult to change make-up & hair stylists for the April 2nd venue because we will be shooting and filming in the desert. Please keep in mind that the venues will be in the desert, therefore many of the final touch-ups will be done in post-production (e.i. music). We will be filming shows and creating awareness material for eco-sustainable fashion. The 5th edition of Green Fashion Week (March/April 2017) will not have any attendees or perhaps a few,  unlike GFW's event in Rome and Naples in October 2017, where we look forward to seeing you as well.
  5. Can GFW provide a list of the models and shoe size? Yes, as soon GFW is finished casting the models a list will be provided informing the designers shoe size and measurements.

The GFW events in March and April 2017 are private events and held in private locations in order to avoid any misunderstanding when passing USA customs. This is not a work event but an eco-sustainable convention.

 

We suggest you send your collection a few days in advance to the Hotel in Los Angeles in order to avoid any problems with USA customs.
