Inspiration // Backstage Comme des Garçons By Juliette Butler
Photography by and copyright of Juliette Butler.
I’ve long been inspired by Juliette Butler’s backstage photography. I am particularly enthralled by her images taken in the nineties backstage at Comme des Garçons.
The meeting place of Rei Kawakubo’s work and Butler’s photography can only be described as magic.

Look closely at spring 2012 shows and you notice an aquatic theme floating to the surface, collection after collection.
With all inspiration, it is not the point of reference that enthralls but rather how it is interpreted.
These designers all may have gone under the sea (not literally) but each translation is unique.

Attendants had the option of being photographed in pieces from the collection. I was shot in a black and white leather biker vest that caught my eye. Vest is pictured on me in first image with my outfit. It was good to have an impromptu micro shoot with the dapper and wonderfully mannered BB Kaye of Dirty Sexy Things and catchup with Emily of Fashion Foie Gras.
