In the week leading up, stick to your fitness routine and eat food that keeps your energy up. The day before, plan your route to the venue and build in extra time for delays.

If there's a chance to network, be open to connecting with the industry people around you. Being fully in it deepens your sense of fashion and reminds you why you're drawn to it in the first place. Enjoying the moment is the whole point.
