Fashion designers: private viewings of a collection
How fashion designers can take bookings for private viewings of a collection: viewing slots with places, buyers and press, studio access and follow-ups.
5 min read
A new collection deserves time: clients want to try pieces calmly, buyers need to see the full range, press want a look before publishing. Unplanned visits mix them all together. With Book, each audience books its own viewing on your own booking page, and the slots close at the end of the presentation period.
Viewing services by audience
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private viewing, clients | 45 min | 1 | Free |
| Buyer appointment | 1 h | 1 | Free |
| Press preview | 1 h | 6 | Free |
| Trunk show evening | 2 h | 20 | Free |
Durations and places are examples. A price of zero shows as €0.00; leave it empty to hide it.
One place or several
Give client and buyer viewings one place, so each has the studio to themselves. A press preview or trunk show can take several places. Each online booking takes one place, and a full slot leaves your page.
A presentation period
Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open viewings for the weeks after launch and set the end date when the collection moves to sales.
Details in the note
The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask clients for sizes and pieces of interest; ask buyers for their shop name; ask press for their publication.
Follow-ups from your list
After a viewing, book fittings or order meetings yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file.
Access and changes
Say in the description how to find the studio. Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.
What Book doesn't do
Book doesn't take orders or payments, show lookbooks or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on bespoke design consultations. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
Can buyers and clients book separately?
Can a press preview take several people?
Can viewings close after launch?
