Stay away from the step-and-repeat
Red carpets are fun on E! but at intimate fashion parties they're really just a mess of photographers and flashing lights that ruin your pictures anyway. Unless you're a member of the press, you'll just be getting in everyone-who-is-working's way. Also, who cares about seeing a celebrity just standing and posing? You want to catch them inside at that VIP section, getting plastered off their face. Far more interesting.
