The last day of shows was on Thursday. It was sad that TOM* was gone just as fast as it started because shooting the events throughout the week was one of the best photography experiences that I've ever had.
I was lucky enough to shoot Hussein Dhalla's absolutely stunning HD Homme collection, featuring model/actor Nick Bateman. I was also able to catch the very end of Pedram Karimi's show, but unfortunately got one photo of the actual runway.
The night ended with the EMDA (Emerging Menswear Designer Award) show, featuring collections by Andrew Coimbra, Joao Paulo Guedes, Patrick Salonga, Rani Kim, and Som Kong. I was situated backstage for the entire hour, capturing the unique looks and witnessing, first hand, the madness of runway shows. Congratulations to Joao on your much deserved award!
The last two sets of slideshows feature all the red carpet shots I got throughout the week, and the pictures from various after parties.
I'm so appreciative of this great opportunity and to have been able to meet all the wonderful, interesting, and talented people this week!
