Who is a Fashion Choreographer?

A fashion choreographer assists in setting up a fashion show. Also known as Catwalk Choreographer, he works in accordance with the fashion designer and stylists upon the different elements of the show, namely, music, tempo, background, lighting, styling and the manner in which models move (this movement of models on the stage actually corresponds to the literal meaning of the word choreography). They work with the stylist on the different aspects of style, such as hair styles and make up to authentically implement the vision of the show.
They mentor the models on different run way walks and help them in best exhibiting the art of the designer. Sometimes models are so decked up with long and heavy attires, high heels and hefty jewellery that walking, and that too with grace and poise, becomes a next to impossible task. It is here where the art of fashion choreography comes into play. They train models on how to walk with confidence and grace so as to accentuate the collection designed by the designer by not being too stiff or theatrical.

It is a fashion choreographer who actually gives shape to the actual vision and the dream of the designer and the stylist by working closely with both of them and by deeply addressing the theme of the show along with the mood and feel of the collection.
