One of the best things about fashion week has to be lurking around backstage with all the sweet models during the at-times drawn-out pre-show wait. As they get pampered and glammed there's a lot of time to say hi, see what they're reading, and steal a snack from any open lolly packet left lying around.
This year Claudia Li and her collaborator and good pal Apela Bell cast a line up of glowing faces for her salon-style show. From Sophie Song to Nevaeh Mataira, the room was full of that specific kind of pre-show calm-chaos-combo you’ll only find during fashion week.
After they were hydrated up with Raeso skincare and radiant touches added by makeup extraordinaire Liz Hyun and her team, our friend Felix Jackson whipped out a roll of film to snap some of the sparkliest moments.
