i want to know what goes into a two MILLION dollar show? i mean i understand that price tag for some of his shows, but outside of the models and venue what could possibly raise the price by that much? am i just naive or does this not sound like a lot of money...for one show?
Well, this is general breakdown of the cost of a fashion show:
01) Venue
02) Models
03) Lights
04) Music/ Sound
05) Stage
06) Props/ Decor
08) Food/ Cocktail
09) Press Releases/ Invites
10) Help (Stage hands/ Crew/ Dressers/ Co-odinators/ Waiters/ Users/ Event Organizer/ PR Company/ Choreographer/ Make-up & Hair (tho this may come free) etc.etc.etc.someone gotta pay these people
A typical fashion show cost about 10K-30K... But when it comes to a show like Dior where quality and image is EVERYTHING... The stakes are higher and thus more money is lavished on such shows...
"Consequently a woman’s haute couture suit can start at around £15,000, while an ornate evening gown can cost a staggering £300,000. "
Judging from this statement, just the gowns for the show itself for Dior would cost about $8,400,000 pound since Galliano did 28 outfits, which in turn mean it about $12,588,484.08 euro (i failed Math, so correct me if i'm wrong

So how can that the cost of the garments be buffered into the whole cost of the show when it's only 2 million? So from the look of it... 2 million seems like coins if one look at how much it cost to make the clothes...
