Out and about....Gina Ortega

Gina wearing what I have to say is my favourite colour. Oh that blue.

Out and about....Helena Bordon

Helena just always looks good. Seems like effortless elegance. But we all know effortless take a lot of effort.

Natalia rocking white summer accents.

Out and about....Na Young Kim

Na Young always brings a sense of fun with her to the street.

Out and about....Paris

Sofie Valkiers of Fashionata outside the craziness of getting to or leaving the Dior show. I would say that this is the most dangerous show for us all to work outside of now. It used to be the show I made my way to start Paris Fashion Week from but from now on for Ready to Wear at least will be the show I stay away from - until they start inviting me in of course.
Sofie is very sweet and it has been nice to see her growing as a personality on the circuit. Here she is wearing Celine glasses a Zara top with a Red Valentino skirt and Jimmy Choo shoes and Choo bag.

Out and about....Paris

Guan Hejin is a confectioner and is her own sweet confection in her Prada glasses, Dior coat, Issey Miyake dress, Valentino shoes and Dior bag.

Out and about....Paris

Michelle Elie is Prim, well that is her brand name. Once a model, then a Cordon Blu trained chef she is now a jewellery designer. She is very expressive in her fashion choices and moves them amazingly. Here she is wearing a Comme des Garcons coat and trousers with Louboutin shoes and Dolce and Gabbana glasses.

So fashion month is over. It was hard work, sleep deprived and totally wonderful. Wonderful because I was taking pictures every day and was surrounded by lovely well dressed people, so strangely makes it life easier. This is a small selection of the images I took for Vogue in Paris, which you may well have seen over there already. If you haven't you can follow this link to see the rest.

Out and about....we love Peony part one

While I was taking pictures during LFW these were the words of one of my editors "we love Peony make sure you take her picture". Anyone who knows me knows I have been taking pictures of Peony for years now. And is no surprise she is a darling of the fashion editors as well the photographers. She is always beautifully turned out and it is always a treat to see what she is wearing each day. And to top it all off she is a real sweetheart too. For our post today she is wearing a Patricia Chang dress, Tibi shirt Marie Mercie ears, Alaia shoes and is carrying a vintage bag.

Out and about....phone a friend

From Fashionistable

This is a very familiar sight during all fashion weeks. Everyone gets separated after the shows for one reason or another and at some point you need to find your friends. Or the rush is on to get to the next show and find (if you are lucky enough to have one) your driver. How on earth did we survive in the past without iPhone or Blackberry? Mostly the girls are looking for their friends. From the shots above I was able to direct Elisa to hers without her trying any further to get through. In some ways the phone can also be used as a defence mechanism, used as a barrier to try and keep the constant bombardment of photographers at bay. It can't be easy being photographed all the time.

Out and about....rue de l'ecole Medicine

From Fashionistable

You saw a brief glimpse of Carlotta in Mondays post. She is Anna Dello Russo's assistant at Vogue Japan. As you can see I also managed to catch her on her own in a quite moment before the high energy of the Jardin des Tuileries. Nice choice as an assistant for Anna I think. Looking forward to seeing more of Carlotta.  If you want to learn more about her, her background and how she got to work with Anna here is a great Q&A. She is wearing a Kenzo top, MSGM skirt, Miu Miu shoes and is carrying a Paula Cademartori bag.

Meet my new assistant - Anna has a new assistant. What do you think? I think she looks like a younger version of herself.

From Fashionistable

Anna Dello Russo resplendent in Chanel also wearing 2 of her own bracelets designed for her colabaration with H&M. For Anna this season was all about short dresses, well every time I saw her anyway.

After Valentino - I don't know who these guys are (I should have asked them). She looks magnificent.

From Fashionistable

After Giambattista Valli - in this instance I did ask her name but she didn't want to tell.

I have photographed the lovely Imogen from Eight London a few times now in both London and Paris. As you can see Imogen is friends with Peony. When we met this time she said that she had liked the series I had done with Peony at London Fashion Week so I asked if she would like to do the same in Paris and this is our story together. It was only when I sat down to process all the images that I realised that she had carried a reddy/orange theme through all of her outfits. I like her thinking.  Imogen moved to Paris in the summer and is very happy with her move. You can check out her blog here.
In the 1st shot she is wearing an H&M dress, Kimono from Topshop and her hat and bag are vintage. For the second image her scarf is from Zara, top is vintage, skirt Topshop, bag Chanel and shoes Tori Birch. And finally her red dress in the final shots is by Jitrois, her boots are Topshop and her bag is vintage.
In the final shot she is joined by Peony Lim and Audrey Leighton Rodgers (Frassy). Peony is wearing a hat she made herself, All Saints shirt, with vintage lace top below. Moschino skirt, Louboutin shoes and is carrying a vintage clutch. Audrey is wearing a vintage top, ASOS skirt ring and sunglasses by herself and Stradivarius shoes.

Out and about....taking a break

From Fashionistable

Let me describe the scene. This was a blisteringly hot day. It was 1.30 in the afternoon in the Tuileries (in Paris) and even though everyone was turning up for the Viktor and Rolf show I had to leave as I thought I was dying. It was about 30 degrees and the sun was beating down. Now I love the sun and the heat BUT the surface on the ground of the Tuileries is white so what was coming down was also bouncing back up. I just couldn't function. I believe, if something doesn't feel right and you move something special will come your way and that day was no exception. As I made my out of the park and down one of the shaded side avenues I came across this scene. I took quite a few shots before I caught Akari attention. I had seen her walking Theo and he just stopped and sat down and quite simply refused to move. So she started to text while he had a rest. The whole time however he sat and looked straight at me while I took pictures. I wanted her to look too which is why eventually I shouted hello. She was surprised but let me take a few frames. Akari is a stylist. Her dress and shoes are Balenciaga, her glasses are Immanuel Khan and her bag is Aha.

When models leave shows if you are lucky they will stand still for a while then they are off. Isabella was quite kind with her time as you can see from the 1st image. However as you all know I don't like to join the scrum, so stepped back and watched which way she was headed. You don't have to go far until the crowd thins. So I asked again and she kindly let me shoot. Isabella is with Elite models and is originally from Sweden. She is wearing a jumpsuit from Zara and s carrying a Hermes bag. I couldn't decide which full length image to post which is why you have 2.
