Models, Off The Clock

Ever wonder what the models look like off the runways of Fashion Week? I took a few photos of the famous faces after some of the shows. You can see that some of them still have the hair and makeup fresh from the stage. From Ruby Aldridge to Freja Beha I captured some great shots of the models straight off the runway! These models were taken outside the Hermes, Valentino, Issey Miyake and Chanel shows.

Rachel Zoe at Valentino

Today I got to meet and photograph Rachel Zoe! I was hoping to run into her at some point during Paris Fashion Week and it finally happened! I love Rachel Zoe, and am a huge fan of her show! It was so nice to be able to speak with her! She was heading into the Valentino show with her husband Rodger when I snapped these pictures.

Gaultier and Valentino Couture

Yesterday, I headed out into the warm sunshine over to the Gaultier Couture show on Rue Saint Martin. The show was an tribute to Parisian glamour, with models holding cigarettes in cigarette holders and having turbans on their head while wearing beautiful creations in a range of dark shades, although black was the dominating force in the collection. The show ended with Dita Von Tess as a surprise model wearing a Gaultier corset.







Once the show was over, celebrities and fashion journalists poured out onto the street. Once again, Grace Coddington was there for Vogue, and Hilary Alexander for Daily Telegraph.


Models from the show also came out, some still wearing the dark eye makeup from the show.




Next, it was onto the Valentino couture show at Place Vendome. Outside the show was another stream of celebrities and paparazzi trying to get their pictures. Clair Danes, Elizabeth Hurley and Jessica Alba were just some that had to make their way through the screaming fans.



Jeanne Beker was there doing interviews, and Anna Wintour was taken through quickly in and out of the show by her body guards. Hilary Alexander was there to report on the show, and I was lucky enough to be able to give her one of my necklaces. Hopefully she likes it and wears it to some events!



Inside the Valentino show, the collection was called “The dark side of first love.” The dresses where a mixture of light chiffon and blush organza to black silk. Valentino is obviously directing to its new generation of customers. However, the hand beading and embroidery is still seen on the clothes to keep the Valentino legacy alive.
