Behind the Scenes at Fashion Week NYC

You could probably assume as much, but in the event that you didn’t know, NYC Fashion week is a huge event from which many of the forthcoming year’s fashion statements and styles emerge. It’s big for the fashion industry, and fashion PHOTOGRAPHY of course follows suit. But while the fashion mags and fashion blogs and fashion photogs always go nuts during these semi-annual events that smatter the globe–and I admit to dig following along from the sidelines–I’ve grown to think a lots of those photos seem from inside the fashion industry take on a similar stance/look/gravitas.

And it should be of little surprise, right? This happens in every industry–things from within often carry the same torch, the same vibe, the same message, just with subtly different content to the others within/around them. The challenge of “working from within” any industry is how to differentiate. Breaking that mold of sameness–IMHO from whatever industry or perspective–is what helps draw notice.

I guess it’s for that reason, that I was so interested and impressed when stumbling upon a behind the scenes gallery of images from NYC Fashion Week from the Boston Globe. These images were stunning and different. And born not from fashion photogs, but from journalists and news photogs with some sort of palpable undercurrent of fashion within them. A fashion “approach”? What I love about them, is that the images seem somehow suspended between the two genre. Or perhaps they bash both genre. I’m not sure. Are they news? Are they fashion? I suspect that news photogs would call them too fashion-y and fashion would call them pure news. The challenge rears it’s head again.

Regardless, I hope you’ll agree the gallery is stunning–some images more so than others, of course–but overall I am intrigued and damn impressed. A few more shots plus a link to 30 others after the jump…

What you see here is just a sample. To see the full 36-image behind the scenes…or as editor Paula Nelson said “behind the fashion,” pop over to the Boston Globe gallery here.

    I just looked through the entire set and really enjoyed it…a lot more than the “standard” runway photos that typically flood the internet around fashion week.

    After looking through the photos and being so into the set, I was really surprised to look below and see so many maliciously negative comments on their website. It was like taking a breath of fresh air and then breathing in black smoke in the next. I was taken back a bit.

    Thanks for linking to these. I probably wouldn’t usually have gravitated towards the photos otherwise. Cheers!

    I once bumped in to a Reuters photographer in a lounge at London’s Heathrow Airport. It was a relatively short conversation, but deeply inspirational. The same people who shot these images could very easily be covering a sports tournament next week, a bloody conflict or earthquake after that. It’s a diversity of a high end news photographer’s lot, and just how good they are at it, which always blows me away. None of them are really ‘names’, and because this stuff is relentlessly pumped out on the newswires 24/7, we forget just how good the people from the global news agencies really are. No lighting, no assistants, no art directors, just raw talent.
