There’s beauty in the chaos that goes on backstage. Skirt hems flutter past in the mad rush to get changed. Wild heels score the floors. Models stand in a line-up of final looks becoming a still pageant of texture and colour. And in the down moments, they sleep like silent angels or make mundane tasks like eating or texting look graceful.

At the spring / summer 2016 edition of ModaLisboa, some of those moments were captured on camera in this backstage photo diary.
