A quick change is a particularly fast change of outfit, for example during a fashion show, a stage production, or a shoot. In the modeling business, it usually refers to changing backstage when a model has to return to the runway in a new look shortly after walking.

Often there are only a few seconds for a quick change. That’s why clothes, shoes, and accessories are laid out in the right order ahead of time. Dressers help the model change and make sure fastenings, fit, and styling are right before the next walk.

A smooth quick change takes good organization, clear communication, and a well-coordinated backstage team. For models, staying calm and focused and following the set routines exactly are especially important.
