26. How much does it cost to put on a fashion show?

Whether you're showing at Milk Studios, Lincoln Center, a Chanel airplane, or a LV train, the cost to present a new collection is seriously steep. One industry insider tells us that price tags for runway shows can range between $80,000 and $200,000, depending on variables like stylists, makeup artists, and celebrity appearances. However, it helps to have the right connections — many designers are able to do it all for free depending on various sponsorships from brands and venues.
