Lauren Greenfield’s so-so shots from Fashion Week
I’ve been quiet on here as it’s New York Fashion Week and I am a slave to fashion for these 10 odd days. It’s exhausting. Fortunately, I only have one fashion week every six months, but some editors and buyers have fashion month-and-a-half, traversing the world (or at least London, Milan and Paris) to look at designer’s new collections. Lauren Greenfield traveled to a few cities’ fashion weeks and documented the whole she-bang in the video above. My first thought was…is that it? Full disclosure, Will and I were both totally burned by Greenfield and rejected for her three month unpaid internship.
But way more importantly, I see way more interesting shots at my work, where some photographers make magical shots on the daily. For some reason, I am generally not impressed with photojournalists take on fashion week. I would think a fresh eye would bring fresh shots, but more research into what has and is done would serve these photojournalists better.
UPDATE: I realized this post sounds a bit more negative than I intended. I am a huge, HUGE fan of Greenfield. Have you seen Thin? This was her first foray into video and it’s amazing. And inspired me to do the same.
