Photojournalism: Behind the Scenes At NYC's Fashion Week
For those living outside Manhattan, Fashion Week is where "Project Runway" finalists are dying to show their collections. For New York City, it is traffic jams, fantastic parties, glamour and a sense of pride at being at the center of fashion. For those in fashion it is big business and involves their bottom line for the fall. If you are a hit, the money rolls in and if you get bad reviews you better start preparing for next spring's collections.
Thousands converge on New York from around the world to witness over 300 designers reveal their fall collections. The world's best photographers come to collect the best images. The famous seek a seat at the best designers' shows in that all important first row. Stunning beauty and the bizarre share the same runway within hours. The best of models, male and female, remind us of true beauty.
Boston.com's Big Picture has posted over three dozen pictures by the best photographers. They take us behind the scenes and into the shows of this year's fashion week. Be sure to click here to see all the photographs, the descriptions and the all-important photographer credits.
