I had a blast running around the crowded backstage at Maisonette's Fall 2011 presentation during Fashion Week. There were throngs of amazonian models, burly cameramen, in your face photographers, super fashionable interviewers, and crazed hair and makeup artists.

Talk about pressure. But the designer, Jane Ibrahim, kept her cool while multi-tasking the whole time. I was also impressed with the hardworking hair and makeup artists who had about two dozen models ready to perfection in a blink of an eye. 

I shot along side some really nice photographers, one of them being Gerardo Somoza, who's clients include Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang... He even invited me to his office after Fashion Week to chat! 

The Fall/Winter 2011 collection was inspired by Chris Nolan's film Inception.These three looks were my favorite from the collection. Bold and edgy but also feminine and playful.

And for the ladies, I sneaked inside Mik Cire's backstage and snapped some photos of the male models. =)

The presentation's theme was "The Urban Escapist." I must say that the set was visually dazzling. Models were scattered on staggered white platforms. It reminded me of a Byzantine structure unfolded like origami paper. 

Congrats to Jane and Tom on a successful show and thank you for the amaaaazing experience!
