No matter how excited we get when we have a fashion show to attend, the big excitement always resides backstage. We often find ourselves wondering how models get prepared, what they eat, how they interact with each other and what their daily life is about. All we see is flawless bodies walking down the runway in breathtaking creations.

However Matt Lever’s hardcover shows us that behind this immaculate presentation, an exciting atmosphere of chaos, panic, glamour and fun reigns backstage before the fashion show. With a foreword by esteemed fashion critic Suzy Menkes, the book takes us behind the scenes all the way back from 1999 to today.  

Including images exclusively shot by Matt Lever for Dolce & Gabbana at their Alta Moda fashion shows, this much-awaited book features backstage photographs for Kendall Jenner and Karlie Kloss among others, as well as contributions by Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Stephen Jones and Tom Pecheux to name a few.
