The reverse side of fashion: what the podium hides
Categories: Fashion | Photo project
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/the-reverse-side-of-fashion-what-the-podium-hides.htmlWe see only the tip of the iceberg. All that the creators of the beauty industry allow us is a minute of a ready-made "picture", an ideal image in ideal conditions is a stunning model, there is nothing to find fault with in her image. It seems that this is exactly how she was born.
Backstage is a different energy. This is practically a battlefield — with minor imperfections, inaccuracies. And its aesthetics are no less important than the aesthetics of the show itself. Photographer Matt Lever has been shooting behind the scenes of fashion shows for almost 20 years. During this time, he saw everything - a thorough, seemingly chaotic preparation process, every tragedy and every victory. In his photographs, those who look like creatures from another world on the podium are ordinary girls: they laugh, fool around, worry and get tired.
