New York, London, Milan, Paris—we’re officially ready for some well-deserved R&R. Whether you were on the ground or keeping up with Replica Handbag Store Runway at home, odds are you’ve had a chance to peruse photographer Kevin Tachman’s all-access backstage snaps. From Kendall and Gigi’s hair-swap moment at Balmain to the wraithlike beauties of Rick Owens’s latest outing and Marc Jacobs palling around with Gaga gone full goth, he’s rounded up his 15 favorite moments of the Fall shows. See them all here.

Taken from a vantage point high above the runway, I got the chance to show what a surreal blur fashion month can be.

The colors and silhouettes at Delpozo are like no other. There was a split second when the models finally got into this position before the runway show and before other models were added to disrupt the perfect symmetry of their flock-like formation.

There was a perfect slice of light coming through the window at Pucci—so of course I got Aamito Lagum to pose (and go blind for a moment while waiting for me to compose my shot).

Every season there’s a new model whose energy and look really captivate you. This season Katie Moore was that girl—backstage at Giamba, I got some of my favorite shots of the season.

This is one of my faves because the relaxation and calm depicted by Irina Kravchenko is the complete opposite of the craziness of backstage and the office and nightclub sets at the DVF in-store presentation.

Coming off the runway surrounded by photographers, models aren’t always all smiles, but Kendall’s gaze and grin cut through the swarm almost as if she was the guest of honor at a surprise party.

Rick Owens is always a favorite to shoot—in this case, the costar was the Palais de Tokyo venue, which gave an almost spaceship-like exit for his Mastodon collectsion.

Haider’s show is a place I like to veer away from the standard reportage and do something a little different—the hair and sparkled fabric helped inspire this shot.

What fashion month recap would be complete without a model twirling in Giambattista Valli?

Maartje Verhoef captured the simplicity and elegance of this look . . . and who can look away from those eyes?

Three is the magic number. Pat McGrath’s bold red lip is the star of this shot.

This seemingly solemn moment of Lotta Volkova backstage at Vetements captures her before she opened the show almost racing between the church venue’s pews.
