This is GENIUS! Kris, you rock. x

These photos are stunning! I love the humorous spin you put on fashion weeks, thanks for keeping it real!

Brilliant post and gorgeous photos. xx

As a former fashion blogger who works for a company that sends a small group to NYFW every year, but has never been herself, I really loved this post, Kris. Not only are the images gorgeous, but they also convey a sense of atmosphere that I don’t get from a lot of other, more plasticky fashion photography. Thanks for sharing.

absolutely breathtaking photos. and so, so real.

Absolutely love this. A genius post!

Beautifully taken! I like the different spin too, you always get the feeling it’s all srs bsns, which is interesting of course, but it’s nice to see behind the glossy façade for once.

Behind the scenes are much more interesting! Not polished world, a lot more life. And that Taylor Swift picture is breathtaking.

Wow, that’s so crazy. I didn’t even think about it. Thanks for sharing this eye-opening but still beautiful post!

It’s a wonder anybody gets any decent shots at all! You should definitely be proud of those skillz. :) Thanks for making me smile this morning! I especially love the long exposure shots showing the madness.

I like your photos very much

I like your photos very much … & your drawings too

love these photos and love this approach!

I love this coverage/approach. Beautiful photos and vision as per. :)

SO funny. I like you because you can make fun of things like this and still clearly love and respect the people in the industry.

The guy near the end holding the boom mic is hilarious to me.

loved this post!! Gave me a chuckle to see all the jeans and backpacks in the background!! Ten kinds of awesome!!

Love this post! Finally everyone can see what really goes on.

Ahh! Finally some honesty re: the fashion week circus! Gotta love it <3

One of my most favorite things about your blog and your work is how no-nonsense you are. This is the icing on the truth bomb cake!

I love this! Very great for someone who never gets to go to fashion week and has a certain image of it.. i,e. me!

I love your photos!

Love it!

This post is so refreshing! Thanks for showing the reality as well as the polished side. Your photography and humour are fantastic :) x

I love the actual ones more but it shows how talented you have to be to be able to spot the moments in the first section within the hustle and madness that seems to happen around you :)

This is great, I have been thinking a lot about this lately (seeing pictures of conflict and then 1000s of press photographers around that conflict, for example…). Your example is just perfect.

[…] love this inside look of what fashion week is REALLY like. So refreshing and a great reality […]

AHAH!
thank you!

[…] How gorgeous are Kristina’s photos from Fashion Week? […]

[…] What fashion week really looks like. So funny to see this behind the scenes look, and testimony to how amazing some photographers […]

Haha love it! Thank you for sharing with us behind the scenes of all the glamour.

I love this post! Of course, we all know that most of those fashion week photos are staged and don’t tell the whole story, but to get a glimpse behind the curtain, to see all the non-fashion people hanging around wearing jeans or whatever, is brilliant. I always love your photographs! :)

ahahahaha this is genius! Love it!

xoxox

Great pictures? What font type did you use for the captions on the (two) pictures?

Loving all these outfits!!

hahah! Great ;) I was always suspicious about whether they show us real face of fashion week! P

Not exactly related to the post, but I added the photo of the girl with the beautiful jungle-inspired print dress (second to last in the first set of photos) onto my Pinterest with your name and a link back to the post. I hope that’s okay with you! I just love the whole shot and that dress is gorgeous.

so true haha

The best fashion week post I have ever seen.
Thank you!

AAAhahahaha! love it!

lols the first and second “what fashion week really looks like”…hilarious.

I actually prefer the “real” group of photos. It’s much more entertaining! I especially love the blurry images. They help tell the tale as well. :)

I like this a lot. Haha.
We usually only see one side of it on blogs. Brilliant photos.

This post made our day! Looks can be so deceiving. Thanks for shedding a truthful light!

That white sand/dust is suffocating.

As I attended a few shows in NYC this year, the best description I heard for NYFW is that it is a shit show. Thanks for showing us that – you don’t see it in a lot of photos!

Wow these photos are amazingly crisp. I wish was there!

great photos. I love the contrast you set up between the perceived and real. my favorite of the batch is the super downpour of rain on those photographers. xoxo

Fashion week has become one big parade, “to see and be seen” little absurd..

Best. Street. Style. Post. Ever. xo

I love your work as an illustrator but your street style photos are amazing!!!

I had been dying to see this shots. So far all of the pictures I’ve seen on the Internet are so stupid.

love this post! It’s more fascinating to see the “real Fashion Week” photos vs the what we pretend it to be like photos. I get sort of bored when I see the pretend photos and just want some realism.

I’ve never laughed so hard. Thank you for this!

First up, the photos are jaw droppingly beautiful. Secondly, I couldn’t stop laughing. Absolutely brilliant post!
