I've touched upon this before but now, thanks to David Tellier, who accompanied me on an assignment not too long ago, I have photographic depictions of what not to do when attending a fashion show.
1. Be on time. People have a schedule to adhere to and if they're waiting for house seats to fill before starting, it isn't fair to everyone else who did show up on time. You might think you're being fashionably late but you're just being rude.
2. No matter what the size or relative importance of the event, you should never ever cut across a runway. These things are always set up in such a way that you can get to your seat from somewhere else. There is no excuse for this blatant lack of respect (or public laziness).
In addition to the fact that you will no doubt offend anyone who worked on the show (and anyone in the audience with manners), you are probably going to distract people with the prints you are leaving on stage (because this is someone else's stage that you are treading across). The lights will turn on and all people can see before anyone even steps out is this:
Now it's one thing for the models to leave prints behind and that they accumulate during a show but there is no reason for you to be leaving your dirty-ass, Montreal-winter-street-slush-stained, size 11 kick prints all over the damn place before a show even starts.
3. And I cannot believe that I even have to address this last point but here we are: Do not, under any circumstances lean back and rest your feet up on the runway. No.
