From calm to crazy in about a minute.

Milan Fashion Week SS2010: Antonio Marras


The backdrop to the Antonio Marras runway show was a layer of helium-filled pillows that, before the parade, floated away to reveal the models in their boudoir. In Los Angeles, the audience would immediately begin gulping down the helium; in Milan the pillows were kept as souvenirs.

Milan Fashion Week SS2010: Krizia


Because the podium is so tiny here, I always find somewhere else to shoot from. I'm trying the balcony next season.

End of the work day; models on ave. Montaigne after the Alexandre Mattieu show.

Paris Couture Week FW 09/10: Adeline Andre


Flew from Budapest to Paris BVA airport where the bus ride to Paris is longer than the plane ride in, ran by the hotel and literally slid onto the riser at an art gallery where the Adeline Andre show was just getting under way. But what's this, instead of a runway, assistants string a laundry line laden with sheets of fabric. The model and designer come out, the model takes off what she was wearing and the designer drapes her in the cloth. They're both almost on top of the photographers and its very difficult to get a shot. Normally the photographers would go berserk but it was one model, one dress and charming. It is declasse to boo charming in France.
