How Do Influencers Get Invited to Fashion Week
My last two blogs posts talked about how influencers get dressed and/or paid for Fashion Week, but I’m getting so many questions asking me to reveal the truth on how influencers actually get to attend in the first place. Do they pay to attend? How do they get fashion brands to notice and invite them?
How Do Influencers Get Paid for Fashion Week
Do influencers get paid to go to fashion week? How much money do influencers make during fashion week? What really goes on behind the scenes?
How Influencers Get Dressed for Fashion Week
A question I get asked alllll the time is how influencers actually get dressed for fashion week, especially if they are traveling to various cities. Do they travel with all the clothes? Do they buy everything? How does it work?

The 7 Commandments for Influencers & Brands
This is the guide I wish I would have had when I started the industry.
Why You Shouldn’t Have a Niche
We all have one. Or at least, we all should have one, right?
Turning Giftings into Paid Partnerships
“Idalia, how can I get those gifting brands who I organically post for finally start paying me for those posts?”
Influencers, NEVER Do This On Social Media
… and by “influencers”, I really mean ANYBODY.
Let’s Talk About Gifting…
This is probably every influencer’s favorite word : gifting.
And getting those emails can be so exciting, especially when an influencer is starting their career. So what’s the catch?

Does Happiness Have a Place in Fashion?
