Fashion documentary.

Waiting for a big show to start doesn’t necessarily mean angst or frantic running around – for models there may be moments of calm or of socialising. These two models were enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company before Chloe’s spring 2013 Paris fashion week show when this shot was taken.

Models on the runway may be bodies in clothes, but close up they’re all about the faces. Thomas Bukovatz’s beauty is in unconventionality, the strong nose, lips drawn up in a bow, a barely-discernable smattering of freckles. I took this shot just after the Viktor & Rolf menswear show at Paris fashion week.

Dutch beauty Elza Luijendijk – with her blonde hair and blue eyes – was a perfect match for the classic red-lipped beauty look at the Ermanno Scervino show at Pitti Uomo in Florence. I took this shot backstage after the show where, even rugged up in a winter jacket and scarf, Luijendijk was looking so stunning she could have just stepped out of the pages…

There’s a feeling that sits somewhere in the spectrum between absolute calm and pure elation. It comes from being alone, breathing in fresh cold air, submerging one’s self in the comfort of a well-loved song. Those are the times you throw your head back and close your eyes and take relief in the fact that it doesn’t matter where you’ve just come from or where…

Sometimes beauty transcends gender: it’s simply beauty. Finding balance on the intriguing fence of androgyny is Erik Andersson, whose features are beautiful enough to make the prettiest of girls envious and yet masculine enough to rope them in. It’s hard to pull your eyes away from a face like that. Here he was posing at the No Editions fall 2013 presentation in Paris.

One of the things we love most about fashion weeks – along with, of course, the countless shows and presentations – is the travel. From city to city we get to soak up the varying cultures, muse on each location’s differing street trends as we work to bring you street style photos, and interact with a smorgasbord of interesting people that leave a lasting impression…

A man’s look can take on a whole new association thanks to a bit of variation in grooming. Case in point: this model at the Smalto fall 2013 menswear presentation, whose combination of Errol Flynn moustache and soul patch gave him a kind of swashbuckling charm. Mind, a dapper double-breasted suit certainly helps to carry off the look. The presentation was held during Paris fashion…

It was minimal makeup (with a hint of a pastel shimmer) and small double braids for the models at Valentino’s Haute Couture spring 2013 show tonight. Still in their Paris fashion week couture beauty looks, models including Cara Delevingne (playing up for the camera, as always) posed for our lens on their way out of the impressive Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild.

Blonde and blue-eyed New York born model David Hlinka doesn’t just stand out on the runway, he’s also one of the most down-to-earth, gracious and accommodating models you’ll chance to meet. This shot was taken in the blistering cold after the 3.1 Phillip Lim fall 2013 show at Paris fashion week.

A Northern English knockabout lad like Reece Sanders will always have a place in the heart of the fashion industry, able to effortlessly straddle the space between tough, urban cool and slick sartorial refinement. You’ve probably seen his face fronting campaigns like Topman, not to mention gracing men’s magazine pages worldwide. This shot was taken just after the Alibellus show at Paris fashion week.
