5. The scent backstage is a mix of hair spray, burned hair, nail polish remover, and gourmet sandwich wraps. We sometimes bring essential oils in our bag. And deodorant.
6. Models actually eat backstage. Those sandwich wraps aren’t just for display! You will see the long-legged goddesses chowing down while getting their hair done. There’s always complimentary tea (perhaps to keep everyone zen), hummus and veggies (a model favorite!), and cookies and cupcakes (an editor favorite).
7. Models really do wear all back. During NYFW, you’ll spy gaggles of them in dark jeans, tees, motorcycle boots, and leather jackets riding the subway between shows. Their hair and makeup is usually done from the previous show so they can appear like they’re headed to a Halloween party.
