Paris on roids

Lazorro hauling Sean's gear up a long flight of stairs at the Paris Hotel De Ville for the Dries Van Noten show ( big get for Dries to be able to show in this building btw ) the crush at Bernhard Willhelm's show at the Bourse
can you spot Philippe Pourhashemi The girls leaving Dior Heidi Mount post Dior. Check out all the spectators at the top, curiously watching what is going in the park model run order backstage at LANVIN Vlada with a Parisian Grazia dog after the LANVIN show getting the message out there at the gates of the Tuileries after the V&R show So after that note, I figured it was time for a healthy wholesome meal at Sydney & Martine's place,  with Sydney's mum, Lillian & Roger
Yum, always enjoy Sydney's cooking in Paris. :-)

Sandra Backlund Paris AW10 showroom

Of course I just had to pop in and see Sandra Backlund, and she always amazes me with her latest pieces. If you are familiar with her work, then yes, you will be familiar with the sculptural element, but the change here is that it is not knitwear for a change. Anyway, there you have it folks, nearly 3 weeks since the last model left the runway, and the lights turned off, I finally finish my report on the AW2010 season. It all started with me leaving Sydney on the 12th of January and then criss crossing north Europe and the Atlantic, was fun, but cold and it took me a while to get it all posted because it has been a busy time for me , but more on that later

Boudicca AW10 Presentation

Awesome coloursSometimes I just feel so lucky, like tonight, Diane was invited to a private dinner Chez Boudicca, see-ing as I met her before and had fun taking photos of her presentation last season , Diane thought I should come along as well. And as you can from above, again, great collection, but no house model this time, instead, a dinner with...as surprise guests Rosey Chan to play an intimate concert for us , accompanied by none other than Mike Figgis ( acclained Director - Leaving Las Vegas, Time Code ) one word AWESOME.
I was a bit hesitant, but after the performance, I asked Zowie ( the designer) if it would be at all possible to take some shots of Rosey in the outfits she just wore in the performance, of course , Zowie replie, let me just quickly as her. Twenty min later , this is what I did, and I so glad Rosey is so easy going Click on photo for larger view Mike Figgis also obliged for a portrait on the spot, nice, thank you. Now, not only is Mike an accomplished and acclaimed director , he also plays trumpet and a pretty jazzy bass as well, which he did this evening with Rosey love this shot
For another post on this special night, check out Diane's posts here & here, and do this while listening to the video I shot on Diane's camera below
