General
Will I fit in if I've never been to Fashion Week?
Yes. Many attendees are first-timers. The atmosphere is celebratory and inclusive. Your enthusiasm matters more than industry credentials.
What if I don't know anyone?
The immersive environment and surrealist dress code naturally spark conversation. VIP and Surrealist Circle include access to intimate spaces that facilitate meeting people.
Is The Surrealist Ball the same as the Met Gala After Party?

How do I know this event is legitimate?
Produced by The Bureau Fashion Week, held at the iconic Gotham Hall. Covered by Vogue, WWD, Harper's Bazaar. 5,000+ guests last year.
