Before starting each fashion event, Devi Sok is aware of the budget she will have, the number of guests, and starts with a few ideas. She is then responsible for deciding the route the models will have to take, the location of the light in the space, and the creation of the sets.
3. Olivier Massart, the creator of the “dream show”
Olivier Massart, one of the most renowned scenographers in the history of fashion, has organized more than 7,500 shows of the biggest Haute Couture brands since the 1950s.
