*A rare glimpse into the lives of trendsetting fashionistas
*Presents seven years of documentary catwalk shots from New York,
London, Milan, and Paris *Key icons from the fashion industry,
including Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Moss, Claudia
Schiffer, and newcomers such as Agyness Deyn, Lily Cole, Gareth
Pugh, and Scarlett Johanssen *Foreword by British supermodel Erin
O'Connor. "I am rarely front of house, I am always backstage. The
adrenaline is amazing; placing the hats just-so, tweaking a veil,
shoving in another flower, crossing my fingers and praying that my
confections don't fall off! Those last moments as the girls line up
backstage is the most exciting time of the entire creative process;
six months condensed into a few seconds; like bolts of lightning
speeding onto the runway. This book captures that moment."-Stephen
Jones OBE Through a series of candid photographs taken over the
last seven years covering all the different elements that make up
the catwalk shows, the uninitiated viewer will get an insight into
the chaos that makes up the apparently glamorous world of fashion
shows! This book allows the reader to be a fly on the wall,
portraying the reality of the fashion world in a documentary style.
Featuring quotes from several industry professionals and
reporters-make up artists, hair stylists, models, editors,
designers and bloggers-this title communicates in a contemporary
vernacular to capture the way that fashion is expressed and
recorded in today's world of social networking and blogging, the
popularity of which has instigated a huge change in the layman's
ability to break into the fashion world. Firmly in tune with the
current vibe and with a definite London edginess, A Front Row Seat
is a sensational design statement in itself. Published to coincide
with the exhibition "From Catwalk to Cover" at The Fashion and
Textile Museum, November 18, 2011 to February 26, 2012. The
exhibition will feature work from the author, Kirstin Sinclair.
