Creative Direction, Styling and Content Creation by Melanie

I am a backstage problem-solver and use my communication skills to manage tasks and troubles, such as locating late models, coordinating bus schedules, hustling hair and makeup teams, assisting in runway lineups, and articulating changes to stylists and producers.

My responsibilities for MFW were ensuring all models arrived on time for fittings, makeup and hair, and runways. Occasionally, models were late, absent, or pulled from the show, and my job was to communicate these updates between models, the model’s agency, the stylist, and the producer.

In this role, I was responsible for implementing workflow procedures based on direction from the Backstage Managers and Production Team. My duties included overseeing models to ensure they arrived and departed for each show on time with the correct mode of transport.

My duties included overseeing models through hair and makeup and back of house zones to ensure they were on time for rehearsals and shows. Working under the direction of the BOH Manager and Assistant Manager.
