I, as the selected accredited photographer, can receive national / international event prints, online and video-based marketing materials, as well as other Company publications, advertisements, promotions and / or other events. 
    21. Why should designers show their collection at CMG New York City Fashion Week Designer Showcase? Why should models model and promote their Model Brand at CMG New York City Fashion Week Designer Showcase? CMG New York City Fashion Week Designer Showcase is covered by the whole media - TV, print and online. As a designer, fashion brand, model, model brand, stylist, makeup artist or photographer, you’ll benefit from free advertising! Imagine the broad audience you will reach! You get a lot of value at no cost!  Advertising budgets for a full media campaign can run into millions. Somehow, the $500,000 big name designers spend for their New York Fashion Week shows, look very expensive. And if you are a designer, fashion brand, model, model brand, stylist, makeup artist, or photographer, the media coverage offers you instant brand and name recognition. Again, your investment for a show looks pretty good since you can meet potential new business contacts, potential buyers along with the whole press and media corps.
    22. So, as a designer, should you try to show you collection or present your creative work. As a model shall you try to present your modeling skills and get noticed? That is a business decision you need to make on your own. If you think that CMG New York City Fashion Week Designer Showcase will offer you the exposure you need, then planning to show your collection during this event might be the right thing. If you are a newly emerging designer, fashion brand, model, model brand, stylist, makeup artist, or photographer who has not yet participated in this type of event before, then we would guide and assist you with featuring your collection. As an upcoming designer, seasoned designer, boutique owner, fashion brand, model, model brand, stylist, makeup artist, or photographer, you might have questions as to how this all works out for you.
    23. How much does it cost to run a New York Fashion Week runway show? ​Quite honestly, a lot! We do not have exact figures, but as a ballpark figure, it might cost anywhere between $20,000 to $500,000 per show. Of course, these are big name shows where hotshot models exhibit your collection. Smaller shows might cost less. Some designers choose to "band together" and pool their resources, so that they can produce a runway show. Some of them look for sponsorships. No matter how much the cost is, you will need to invest some money into the show during the New York Fashion Week.
    24. If it is so expensive to produce a show, then why do designers do it? For the sake of exposure! It might be expensive to produce a show, but you get to show your collection, your creative work or modeling skills to the entire world. The press coverage alone is worth a lot of money. Imagine if you have to place advertising in a major newspaper or a fashion magazine such as Vogue or W. Your advertising will only run once and reach only a tiny segment of the audience.
    25. CODE OF CONDUCT
