The most important ingredient to event success is the fashion show coordination and the team that makes it all happen. Shannon Davidson Productions provides the best teams available to make the production of a show flawless.

Collection Coordination and Fittings
Production of a fashion show requires meticulous organization done by a team that works as a unit. Attention to detail is imperative when working with retail merchandise as well as highly valuable luxury designer samples. To that end, SDP provides teams that have experience and respect for the beautiful clothing and luxury brand collections that they work with. They understand the importance of care for the clothing as well as being efficient and timely in their tasks. All of
During pre-production, SDP works with the client to create the line-up of the show. This is done with either the designer samples or by pulling the show from retail or “live” merchandise.
Shannon Davidson Productions has tremendous experience in pulling retail shows to create trend shows or presentations, as well as to create multi-vendor shows for retail establishments. Tremendous care goes into maintaining the manufacturers’ brand identification. SDP realizes the extreme importance of maintaining the integrity of brand recognition.
Complete show coordination requires a unique formula for inventory, styling notes, numbering, model assignments, model rotation, accessory organization and labeling, shoe fittings and alterations.
