Loitering outside a show or presentation, especially if it’s for a smaller designer or label, could be worth your while. Dress sharp, look like you belong, and slap on your sweetest smile as you politely ask if there’s any extra room at the back. Last-minute no-shows often result in guests being bumped up to the front row, with space available for those who don’t mind standing.
