Covering everything from nerves to catwalking technique, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Talent Management models<\/a> were intrigued by what she had to say\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, the Chicago-born model attempted to describe a typical day as a model at fashion week, which evidently doesn\u2019t exist: \u201cThere is no typical day of fashion week. That\u2019s the beauty and the curse. It\u2019s a medley of fittings, castings, shows and subway trips all mixed together in different ratios every day. You probably are going to start really early though, and go well into the evening! Coffee, Vitamin C, and easy on the go snacks become your best friends.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nSo how does she find being backstage at a fashion show? \u201cIt\u2019s kinda like a big traffic jam\u2026 Everyone has their assigned tasks and is trying to get where they\u2019re supposed to be. It makes it really hard to get anywhere. But everyone is still trying to rush anyway\u2026 its fun\u2026 and funny :-)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, she says the most stressful aspect of working at fashion week is trying to make every appointment, while the most fun part is \u201cbeing part of a production that is a collaboration of different artists\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The young model then goes on to reveal how nervous she feels on the catwalk and how she approaches modelling: \u201cI think it would be strange not to be nervous. It\u2019s part of the thrill I think. It\u2019s finding comfort in the adrenaline rush\u2026that\u2019s the trick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou try and become the character the designer wants to represent the brand, whatever that may be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keep checking back on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\">Talent Management Blog<\/a> as we later discover what the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/job-board\/\" target=\"_blank\">casting <\/a>and fittings experience is like for Ava at fashion week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a series dubbed \u2018How Fashion Week Gets Made\u2019, Fashionista recently asked model Ava Smith what her day to day life is working as a model at NYFW.
