The Male Models Of Men's Fashion Week: An Appreciation
LatestOur intrepid photographer, Nilina Mason-Campbell, has been stalking the fashion venues of Paris to bring you an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the just-ended men’s shows. This way for hunky male models reading, getting made up, drinking and wearing ridiculous outfits!
Here, models watch from backstage at Petar Petrov.
The Dior venue.
A cleaner sweeping up the catwalk. Fashion houses try to keep the runway as pristine as possible until the show begins, a goal which is often incompatible with seating a large and rambunctious crowd of editors and buyers in unusual outfits. So they employ dedicated cleaners and sometimes cover the runway up entirely with a sheet of plastic, whipping it away as the lights go down.
Dior’s Kris Van Assche showed his collection on models styled with enormous, Amish-style hats.
Ethan James here sure looks ready for rumspringa.
Karl Lagerfeld took in the show.
And Purple fashion editor/Terry Richardson BFF/Booger from Revenge of the Nerds lookalike contest winner Olivier Zahm made sure to insert himself into the proceedings.
