Well he made a website advertising his brand name, then went to what is essentially a fashion conference, showed up professionally, dressed as designer with cards, and they let him in?

Isn't that what you expect/hope for?

Exactly. If anything, this video (which I liked) shows that the fashion industry is accepting/welcoming. It's not my scene, but if their ethos is "show up and have fun" then I support that 100%.

Same, I am not really sure what this is supposed to prove..

He got to a conference and partied with some other attendees ? You could do this with any other field; including tech.

Why? People don't routinely ID one another in social interactions.

I imagine earlier commenter suggested that fashion conference organisers should ID attendants on entry, this is a routine practice at many events.

What do you mean?

If Georgio Paviani was real, it could also be a pseudonym for a real human being, in which case there would be no ID that you could show. Pretty sure Lady Gaga's driver license doesn't use that name.
