Out and about....Diesel Brothers

Around the shows lot of the time I don't know who I am photographing going by instinct and what I think looks good. Only to be blown away when later I am researching back home and in front of the computer. Stefano and Andrea were standing in the middle of a crowd and were quite bemused when I picked them out and asked if I could take their picture. Now the guys did mention Diesel when I interviewed them but still it never dawned on me. I just thought they worked for the brand. They do, but also are the brand - their Dad is Renzo Rosso the founder of Diesel. Stefano works on the development of their charitable arm Only the Brave who's mission is to "Mobilize and empower youth to end extreme poverty" you can see their manifesto here, it is a wonderful and powerful message. Andrea is the creative director of the 55DSL arm of Diesel. Stefano and Andrea are the eldest of Renzo's 6 children. Stefano is wearing a Viktor and Rolf jacket, Maison Margiela trousers and Diesel shoes. Andrea is head to toe in vintage.

Out and about....Paris Fashion Week, they came they went

Amazingly there was space for us all to shoot from the hip and on your own, except for the guy with the camera in the distance in my 1st shot, who we all had to try and avoid as he happily put himself in the middle of all the other photographers shots and then blamed us for ruining his! Strange man indeed.
Anyway the 1st 5 shots are of guests leaving the Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries.

I love the way the little lady is peaking around the ladies who are/where the focus of my shot. Cute.

And the camera was turned - touche.

I thought is was great in the park where the Fashionista's were mixing with the general public.

In the next 5 shots I joined the scrum.....I know I know it is the only time I did it though. The 1st 3 are from the Dior show, the last 2 were going to the Sonia Rykiel show.
