One of my favourite times of year, fashion-wise, is these weeks after fashion month when you're back at your desk drinking in the new season and planning everything which you're going to do with it- stories, trends, moods. It's a case of getting elbow deep in a huge pool of images, notes, reviews, social media posts to dissect everything which is going on. I would love to have the time to pull together a definitvie list of every single possible way we can now see a fashion show; maybe you sit front row, or perhaps you're crammed in at the back on your tiptoes, you might follow the action on Twitter, tune in to the brand's live stream, click "refresh" over and over on Style.com until the review is posted, make a Pinterest board or stumble across an image you like as you're flicking through a magazine six months later. It's quite mind-boggling. My new favourite post-fashion week way to see the shows is clicking through American Vogue's backstage imagery which is insanely beautiful and makes me feel as if I am seeing the shows via a fly on the wall wearing magically filtered glasses.
The main photographer is Kevin Tachman, who also made an intelligent photo series called
"Overexposed" the other day which he called "an attempt to capture that sense of disorientation" which shows throw up. I like it. The Max Mara images- the headscarf lady is my absolute favourite- were taken by
Taylor Jewell, of
Anna Wintour #voguestagram fame while the Saint Laurent is by
Victoria Will. Even if you were at the show, this photography adds a whole new dimension.
