To sum up, this theses is asking what the future holds for Stockholm Fashion Week.
To answer the questions the thesis is based on four semi-structured interviews as methodology, and the seating arrangements at fashion shows as a topic of discussion.

This may lead to a change in the hierarchy where buyers would get more seats at front row. The participants were bound by the structure and viewed it as a natural way of knowing the different positions of other individuals visiting the shows. (Less)
