SUMMARY

In the discussion, Jessica confirms that for catalog shows, it is permissible to use Fall/Winter (F/W) catalogs for shows occurring in August and September. She clarifies that orders can begin to be collected immediately, with submissions starting on September 1.

Hey:)

I have 4 catalog shows going on right now! If I give them F/W catalogs, can they use those and I just submit them Sept 1, or do they have to use S/S?

Also, I have a catalog show the last week of august, can I send her the new catalogs and submit first week of sept or will that not count as a sept show??

If they are catty shows, yes, you can give them the new F/W cattys. They can start collecting orders whenever...and you can close and submit them starting September first. They would have to be "Sept" shows...meaning dated for Sept and using Sept guest and host specials!
