Feel pretty slack these past years for never having gone to Bart & Tom's fashion shows in Milan. Thanks to Ilja De Weerdt, I met these 2 guys 10 years ago, and did a portrait shot of them for Pulp magazine, and they were nice blokes, graduates from Antwerp Academy ( probably the year before I met them ) and naturally speaking,very talented people and a great creative partnership. So why have I not gone to see them if I give them such a big rap, well, they were always on the "off" schedule, as opposed to the "on" schedule, and their show would always clash with a big brand show, which my editors requested I be at. But this time I decided to skip one of the shows I usually cover, as it is always such a hassle backstage and all this stress and drama, plus a bad place to shoot, so I did not need to think twice, and boy am I glad I finally came, so sorry Tom and Bart for not see-ing the light sooner, great collection, thanks for letting me shoot it :-)
