A Front Row Seat is one of the best books that I’ve reviewed
for My Creative Diva magazine recently. It’s filled with beautiful photography that really does give you a front row seat to the world of high fashion, and we even have a copy up for grabs for MCD readers. There are
only a few days left to enter though, so head over to www.my-creativediva.co.uk and turn to p24 of the current issue to be in with a chance!
Photographer
Kirstin Sinclair spent seven years documenting countless collections at the
fashion weeks in London, New York, Paris and Milan. The resultant book, A Front Row Seat, features images of
shows, exhibitions and after parties, plus the British Fashion Awards and
London College of Fashion’s MA shows.
Her own commentary and quotes from other industry insiders put the
pictures into context and the chapters are neatly divided into sections: the
front row, the editors, the catwalk, the designers, the buyers, backstage,
street style and model style.
This is an
enchanting and absorbing book that captures many facets of the fashion
industry. It paints a bigger picture than we usually see, taking a look at not just the shows
themselves but those who attend and the designers responsible for putting them
together.
The stunning
photos are testament not just to Kristin’s technical ability but also the
rapport that she clearly builds with all of her subjects. My favourite pictures
include Gwen Stefani on the catwalk at the Autumn Winter 2010 L.A.M.B.
womenswear presentation, and Freja Beha Erichsen in the Autumn/Winter 2010
Chanel womenswear show with that giant iceburg! Pure glamour.
