The 2009 Calendar of Fashion Events
Image by Ponygraph
2008 Ends in a couple of days.
Seriously, I keep thinking to myself, “How the heck did that happen?” Even though last year at this time everything seemed so different. I hadn’t a clue as to what would unfold this past year.
I posted a how to on planning your editorial calendars. When I wrote it, my calendars were very loose, but as time progressed, I’m all the way up to planning sometimes weeks in advance. I’ve even heard one blogger say that she has her interviews lined up months in advance. It might be crazy, but upon reflecting how fast this year whizzed by, I have to say that if I had to do it all again, I’d plan more. Or, atleast make myself aware of events and dates. Here’s a complied list of all the 2009 fashion and fashion-related events I could think of…

it’s a pretty comprehensive list, though some of the dates later in the year haven’t been announced, so if I’m missing something, don’t be afraid to let me know, as you can see there’s a lot going on. If that’s not enough to keep your editorial calendar full, there is always going to the events which of course, will also give you lots of content.
What are some of your goals for 2009?
