One of my favourite places in Milan is the area in front of the majestic cathedral, the Duomo. Here we once shot a #FollowMeTo frame. We were looking for the most successful angle, and suddenly we came up with a brilliant idea - to climb the stone lions "guarding" the architectural masterpiece. In three minutes, we were on top. And then at the end of the square there was a howl of police sirens, and we saw a hoard of guards running our way. However, Murad didn’t pay any attention to that, continued to shoot, and only after getting that perfect frame was he ready to get off. As a result, we had to pretend that we do not speak any language except Russian, and the good Italian police, not knowing what to do with such stupid tourists, released us. This was my first meeting with Milan.
In this city, every street is filled with trendsetters from around the world, and they are all together waiting for the beginning of the show, or "gently" posing for street-style photographers. When we flew to Milan, our plane was overloaded with glossy journalists, editors and operators who were looking forward to this crazy week.
For seven crazy days we spent in Milan, I was able to fully feel its rhythm and furious energy. Getting up at five am, epic battles with wardrobe, 15-minute breaks between shows and presentations, business meetings, shooting, interviews and charitable dining - all this is Fashion Week. No wonder people start preparing for next year as soon as it’s over!
Of course, I brought three suitcases filled with designer masterpieces and now I want to talk about what kind of looks became my favourite during the Milan Fashion Week.
