MakeFashion received high demand for media access with limited accommodation. Therefore we maintain a high standard for publications, photographers, videographers applying for media accreditation. The gala has a no-flash mandate during the runway segment. This challenges the photographer and videographer to be capable to work in a low light environment.

Once your application has been submitted our directors will review your credentials and respond via email.
