Fashion week staffing is the crew that builds, runs and strikes a runway show or a presentation, usually inside a single day. WMG Event Support supplies that crew as one team: riggers and stagehands for the runway build, lighting, sound and video technicians, backstage dressers and runners, and front-of-house hosts for check-in and seating. You brief one account manager and one call sheet, not five separate suppliers who have never worked the same room.
We work to the fashion calendar in our three home markets and travel with the same core crew across Europe. In the Netherlands and Belgium the show itself is a modeshow, in Germany a Modenschau, and the production problem is the same everywhere: the venue is often a warehouse, a gallery or a car park rather than an event venue, the organiser sets the schedule, and the room has to be handed back the way it was found.
A show day has no second attempt. The build window is short, the rehearsal is shorter, and the strike usually starts before the last guest has left. Split the rigging, the lighting, the backstage team and the door staff across four contracts and nobody owns the handovers between them, which is precisely where a show day falls apart.
We supply all of it from one team, on one call sheet, with one person accountable for the schedule. That is the same model the rest of World Wide Mobility Group runs on: specialist crews doing their own work, coordinated by one partner who answers for the result.
Six things clients ask us before a show gets quoted. If yours is missing, put it in your enquiry and it gets answered in the reply rather than parked for a follow-up call.
It covers the day rather than a role. A runway show is built, rehearsed, run and struck inside one schedule that somebody else set, so the useful thing to book is the whole crew for that day: the runway build, the technology, the backstage team and the people at the door. Our other pages sell those parts separately. Stand building is the build on its own, AV and technical support is the technology, stagehands and event technicians is the crew labour, and hostesses is the front-of-house role. Book this page when you want one call sheet for all of it.
No. Model casting and booking is a modelling-agency discipline and it stays with your own agency or with a casting partner. We supply the production and the crew around the models: the runway they walk, the light they walk into, the dressers who get them ready and the running order that keeps the show on time. If you do not have an agency yet we will say so plainly rather than quoting for work we do not do.
Usually yes, and it is the normal way fashion week works. We plan the day backwards from the organiser’s handover time: load-in and rigging first, then lighting focus and sound check, then rehearsal, then doors, then a strike that starts as soon as the room is clear. The size of the crew is set by how short the build window is, not by how big the show is.
That is the normal case during fashion week. Warehouses, galleries, showrooms, churches and car parks have no rigging points, no distribution and no loading dock worth the name, so the show has to bring its own. We survey the space first, then plan power, rigging and access around what the building will actually allow, and we hand it back in the state we found it. Where the build itself is the whole job, stand building is the page to read.
Our home markets are the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and we travel with the same core crew across Europe when a client runs shows in more than one city in the same season. Working with one supplier across a season matters more than it sounds, because the second show is always faster when the crew already knows the running order and the client’s way of working. The full picture of what we cover sits on event support.
As soon as the show date is confirmed, because fashion week concentrates every show in the same few days and the whole city’s crew is booked at once. If you are late, tell us anyway. We would rather say honestly that we cannot cover a date than take the booking and hand you a crew that has never worked a runway.
Send us the date, the venue and the running order if you have one. You will get a crew plan and a price, not a discovery call.
