9 Details You Might Have Missed From Backstage At New York Fashion Week

Pearls were a 2018 staple, with those pearly hair clips sported by every fashion girl worth her mettle. And Adeam's pearl manicure is a nice bougie continuation of the trend.

Held in a bright warehouse space in Brooklyn's Ridgewood edge, the Eckhaus Latta show had some lovely, well-lit corners, which models took full advantage of in the calm before the storm.

Setting aside how mesmerising it is to watch hair stylists using interior decorating brushes to paint the wigs white at Jeremy Scott, the other fun moment came in the form of the models' reading material. Namely, tabloids emblazoned with their most creative headlines about the Jeff Bezos scandal.

For the uninitiated, Jeff Bezos is the Amazon tech tycoon whose marriage came to an end as American newspaper The National Enquirer published a detailed report of an affair that Bezos had with another woman. The headline in this picture, despite what you might think, does not refer to Bezos' private parts (although, there is a rumour that the Enquirer did get hold of a dick pic sent by Bezos). But in fact, the headline here refers to the fact that Bezos is has now 'exposed' Enquirer owner David Pecker for trying to blackmail him.

As much as the rumours make it sound like backstage at fashion week shows is an angry, frantic mess, often this is not the case at all. More and more these days, designers thoughtfully cater for the walking models, with cute decor, nice food and floral arrangements to make the pre-show build up as stress-less as possible.

Accredited photographers head backstage often to get a shot of the clothes in a neutral setting, so that they have a point of difference from the runway images. And the more comfortable and happy the models are, the more likely they'll feel relaxed enough to show off the clothes in a fun, movement-filled way.

For beauty addicts, the tricks of the trade will be no secret at all. But for the uninitiated, hair stylists often have an ace up their sleeves, for setting spray without hair pin kinks.

Wearing the red suit that became a talking point, Gigi Hadid takes a minute to pose for photographers backstage at the Tom Ford show. And obviously, as a seasoned pro, she found that light.

Far be it from Tom Ford to get in a flap before his big moment, the coolest cat in fashion wafted around in his giant aviators before the opening of his NYFW runway presentation.
