Spying on the backstage scenery of New York Fashion Week

Introduction: Although the runway show is a feast, the backstage is the entrance to see the fashion world. Although there is no smoke here, the models and staff who race against time are in a mess. Laughter and play make the backstage very real and interesting.

Laughter and frolicking make the backstage very real and interesting, revealing the photographer behind the scenes.

Who captured these interesting backstage photos, who tapped the cutest side of supermodels, and who exposed the gossip in the blogger circle? PatrickMcmullan, a photographer from new york, Gauthier Gallet, a late backstage photographer, and Roxanne Lewitt, an exclusive photographer from Dior, all caught eternity in an instant, but the few minutes they walked on the show and the curtain call of the designer were not all. They witnessed the other side of the industry through the lens of the backstage photographer.

Backstage and Advertising; Front row Patrick mcmullen

This is a series of backstage photos of Fashion Week taken by photographer Patrick mcmullen. As you can guess from the title, this book records the stories in the big tent of New York Fashion Week, from the small show in the nightclub to the super-luxury show in marc jacobs. It's like a fashion week yearbook.

Gautier Calais

Gallet is the most common figure in Chanel backstage. He is closely related to designers, models and stars, and many personal images come from him. Carl published this backstage book for him after a car accident on the last night of Paris Fashion Week in 2003.

Mario Testino

This is the early work of photographer mario testino, and it is a classic frozen image series. What is commendable is that the inside page contains many breakthrough works by masters and those exciting creative shows, such as alexander mcqueen 1999 Autumn and Winter Snow Show.

Through illustration, collage and other artistic effects, the background photos are more interesting and exciting.

The Lookbook launched by Prada, which takes the literary route, uses background photos every season, and 20 10 autumn and winter is no exception. Combine fantasy and reality with various artistic effects to create a visual effect that is both real and illusory. In fact, every season Lookbook should show that backstage photographers have also made great contributions to this album.

An exciting fashion show backstage in anna sui

As soon as I entered the backstage, I saw the items neatly placed in front of me. There are makeup photos of each model's wardrobe on the giant hanger, which are marked with detailed pictures of the show photos and the names of each item, and distributed to each model as a dressing guide to avoid mistakes in chaos. My eyes are full of exquisite items, and no one is tempted. No wonder there are models following several runway fashions after the show. Norwegian model SiriTollerod secretly pocketed gabriele colangelo's pink high heels at Milan Fashion Week last year.

China models have blossomed everywhere.

Liu Wen and China designer Jason Wu performed well in the 20 10 four autumn and winter fashion weeks. Ming Xi, a newcomer, appeared on Givenchy's runway as soon as she debuted, and served as its autumn and winter advertising spokesperson. Sun Feifei, a Shanghai girl, also performed well. She participated in the four major fashion weeks for the second time, and walked 32 shows, including Miu Miu, Celine, Loewe and Hermes. Although Liu Wen missed London Fashion Week due to visa issues, she still made solid personal performance with 49 shows. After endorsing estelauder, she even jumped to the position of 1 1. Qin Shupei, who walked 59 shows in the four major fashion weeks in autumn and winter, won the GAP advertisement in autumn and winter and entered the 40th place. The future should not be underestimated. In private, China models are close backstage, and they can often be seen together. Liu Wen and Qin Shupei, with their excellent costumes, have been the targets of street shooting for n times.

A foolproof arrangement

After Alexander Wang finished the clothes for the model, the last hurdle was the tailor. Designers and assistants began to fine-tune the details of the models' clothes, so as not to let the collective efforts go to waste, and strictly control them in order to become the perfect stage moment.

Final leveling, assembly and casting.

The agency will arrange model interviews, and the model cards will be nailed to the wall. It is difficult for designers to choose interviews and roles. It is not only related to the quality of the whole show, but also to the life and death of the model. In order for designers to determine the candidates, they will dress the models, paint makeup and take polaroids first. From trial to make-up, you need to choose repeatedly. Some shows will directly use these makeup photos to arrange the appearance order for the show director to arrange the runway.

Designers give gifts to models.

The model carries this Fendi ClassicNo. 1 satchel, and the leather tag on it will write the model's initials. Models steal runway items, which may also be caused by the salary difference, so there is a gift-giving link for designers. In the background, models often see packaging bags with brand names printed on them, which naturally contain gifts, usually some small cosmetics or accessories, to make up for the shyness in the bags. And 20 10 Galeries Lafayette gave a big show in autumn and winter, and every model carried a rhubarb bag. FridaGustavsson couldn't wait to bring a gift after the performance, and the mystery was revealed. It turned out to be Fendi's new handbag. This bag is absolutely custom-made, and the label on the bag is also printed with the initials of each model, which can be described as massive bleeding.

All catwalks follow orders.

Before the show starts, the models will gather in alexander wang before putting on the show costumes, and let the special show guides guide them. The director of the show will organize the rehearsal of the model according to the makeup and the pre-arranged T-stage sequence. On the small board, there are also intimate tips: "walking posture is strong", "confident" and "don't swing his arm" ... Every show will constrain the model's walking posture according to the brand style, but eventually it will return to the theme of Caalk: "Have fun!"

The beauty of the runway is not simple.

A beautiful hairstyle is not easy. It needs three barbers to make it (Derek Lin is backstage). The first thing a model does backstage is to put on makeup and do her hair. It may take some effort to set the table. If two sworn enemies are arranged together, such as FrejaBeha and Catherine McNeil, there may be a blood shed backstage. What we see is that everyone's countertops are messy, and there are a lot of brand cosmetics, hairdressing tools and wigs everywhere. Usually several people serve a model together, and the head, face, hands and feet work together. A stylist has to deal with three or four models in half an hour. Models have long been used to it, enjoying themselves and letting the staff around them play with it. Many times, everyone will put some makeup photos on the table, which have been marked with makeup tips for the makeup artist's reference.

Busy with all kinds of things

Anna selezneva speaks to the camera Kan Kan (backstage in alexander wang). We often see backstage interviews of FashionTV and photos released by major media. In fact, models usually do it themselves, holding up the sun visor and reflector to shoot. Models usually wear makeup. Let's talk about some views on the modeling of this program and some new developments of our own. In addition to models, designers and fashion editors, they must be adopted. They are more discussing the theme culture and inner design tailoring.

Waiting is not nervous at all.

The model coco rocha (backstage in jean paul gaultier) show is about to begin, and many models quickly change their clothes and wait for instructions. Even when waiting in line, I still don't forget to play, linger, dance, take photos with designers, or show off my costumes, clumsy shapes and postures. Compared with the cold T-stage photos, the backstage makes this industry more lively.

Who says models don't like to eat?

When model Hanne Gaby eats with her mouth open regardless of her image (backstage in Donna Karan) or when she is bored before going on stage, the models usually choose to eat, and the brand has already prepared various foods for the models present. Most models are actually fat or not, which will only make others envy and hate. They wolfed down their food. Let's not talk about image beauty. Modeling work is also manual work. In addition to sitting down and doing makeup and hair, I basically walk to catch the scenery. When they finally stop, of course, they have to replenish their strength. In addition, playing mobile phones and listening to music is also a way for them to pass the time, and by the way, they can take a nap!

A sitcom is playing backstage.

Marnie, two models are performing a sitcom backstage. As long as they are facing the camera, they can't stop for a moment. It's juggling time! Play with each other, or make faces, and even have their own signature moves. Seeing their ghost horses too much, as long as their images are mentioned in daily photos, they will naturally sway.
