#6 New Fashion Presentations

Once was a day in the fashion industry where the catwalk was the only form of appealing to the press, buyers, and fashionistas everywhere ...

However, NOW the fashion industry has embraced technology and is adapting to all of the benefits it brings when expressing creativity within a presentation.

Some of the new forms of presentations used by industry professionals include:

• Prezi
• Google Drive
• Slides

These three software platforms have eased presentations and presented concepts in new and innovative ways. 

Another example is broadcasting a runway show to your audience over the internet.
