"From the get-go, my intention was to emphasize shoes and details. At the time, there wasn't much of a focus on how women were accessorizing, so I wanted to fetishize that through my images."
"It wasn't a deliberate strategy to cut off someone's head—I was interested in body language and how the women I was photographing would eloquently text their driver or search for something in their purse despite being in a frantic rush. It felt energizing to me to see how someone would accent their stack of bracelets with their statement clutch."
"Before focusing on the woman behind the clothes, it was about the clothes and celebrating fashion."
"I originally set out to observe and document these women as if I were on safari. I never wanted to stop and speak to these individuals that I looked up to, but eventually they started recognizing me and knew what type of images I was trying to capture. So they didn't feel that I was being invasive and trusted me as I documented them running from show to show."

24/78Back to Minimalism
"I had been documenting Balmainia among the editors before I started contributing to Style.com. Everybody wanted to be the Balmain girl—aka Emmanuelle Alt—but with Phoebe Philo's return to fashion at Céline, there was a sudden shift toward minimalism. Instantly, everyone was wearing camel.”

28/78The Rise of ADR
"My friendship with Anna Dello Russo began during my first season with Style.com. She had asked around and not been able to figure out which photographer was me, but when she eventually found out who had been spying on her for seasons, she introduced herself. We hit it off and she became a muse. Her passion and energy were contagious, and making sure I photographed her multiple outfit changes each day became a mission of its own. Despite what critics may think of her, she's having fun with fashion and laughing with us.”

33/78The Cult of Rick Owens
"In all of the years that I've been shooting outside the shows, no other designer has attracted as loyal a following as Rick Owens has. Season after season, they religiously gather outside his shows clad head to toe in his designs. It's a remarkable sight, almost like troops getting ready for battle.”

38/78The Power of Street Style
"It's fascinating to observe how being photographed and featured on Style.com has influenced the careers of certain women. Girls like Hanneli Mustaparta and Miroslava Duma went from relative unknowns to style icons in such a short period of time. The impact that street style has had on the industry in undeniable.”

"The most challenging factor about shooting street style has always been weather, but torrential downpour or windy blizzard, nothing dampens my drive to get the photograph. And surprisingly, in the past some of my favorite images have been the result of terrible conditions.”

"At times the industry has felt that the scene outside the shows is turning into a circus and detracting attention from what's important: the clothes on the runway. But with the growing popularity of social media, there's no stopping the phenomenon.”

"The greatest highlights of the past five years have been the moments when I've been caught off-guard. I'm still amazed by all the chaos that happens outside the shows. It's really a jungle out there, and you just have to have fun and always keep your eyes open."
