one of my favorite things about fashion week at lincoln center is the use of alice tully hall as a staging area. its open facade--a 3-story glass wall--effectively "pulls back" the curtain, so we can see the models wearing the collection, the artists, stylists and designers working on finishing touches before the "performance" and the cluster of lucky photographers and reporters who are assigned to capture it all.
but for me there's also an interesting interaction with street life, as shown in some of the reflections: the surrounding architecture, the pedestrians and observers, cars and cabs, "meet" the action inside in a random but dynamic way. i wanted to try to capture that energy or that idea; these were all taken before the rachel roy show. i think a few of these are better than others, but it was a fun experiment.
i hope you like them.
