2014 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Must Haves:

For modesty:

You always need to make sure that your models are comfortable.  Manhattan Wardrobe Supplies carries all sorts of supplies that make sure your models are comfortable and nothing is showing that shouldn’t.  Here are some of our favorites:

• thongs
• topstick
• nipple Concealers

Commando Thongs

For shoes:

During Fashion Week, we all know that shoes don’t fit quite right.  Too high, too big, even too small, but don’t they look amazing?  Make sure your models are as comfortable as possible by providing a variety of shoe inserts and other products that help calm sore feet, pad the foot, or even take up extra space to make sure no shoes fly off on the runway (yes, we’ve seen it happen).  Here are a few essentials:

• foam insoles
• heel grips
• ball of foot pads
• no slips
• save your sole
• shoe horns
• blister pads

Save Your Sole-Sole Stickers
