HE IS A TURE ARTIST

I know Patrick and this book shows the real spirit of his love of what he does

Brilliant book!

This is a superb photo essay in every way. McMullan has mastered the art of pacing his photographs so that he mixes models with celebs with text in just the right blend. The attention to detail is exceptional, in the corner of a shot you catch an assistant scurrying or another photographer straining and it really gives that added sense both of tension and just how much the drama is a group effort even if the designer or the model is in the spotlight standing supreme ultimately. Cropping out the periphery might have made the shot a better sensationalist moment but at what a loss to the real feel of the event, and it is the sheer realism that is conveyed that I was most impressed by. My God how ugly some of those celebs came across: in one photo Jennifer Lopez must have been ill, or is that how she really looks caught without make-up! In others the celebs were just so unexpected: Leo DiCaprio so young and Matt Dillon so baby faced. The other emphasis that really hit home was the incredible sense of movement which McMullan really nailed. This is the work of genius!

I couldn't put it down

Makes you feel like you are living and breathing the excitement and creativity of Seventh on Sixth, from the controlled chaos of backstage to the seamless perfection of the shows themselves. Patrick McMullan's photographs are stunning, and extraordinary in that they so realistically capture the very essence of Fashion Week's explosive and beautiful frenzy. A must have, must read, must see!!!

I love this book!

The photos and editorial combine to make a great evening read. The energy from behind the scenes came alive from the pages of this book. Highly recommended!

Smile!

Patrick McMullan and his photos are one of the big reasons that NYC's fashion week has become a global event. From the early shows in nightclubs and attic spaces to the million dollar events thrown by the likes of Marc Jacobs; Patrick has been exactly where everybody else wishes they were...right in the middle of it all. The photos are beautiful but they also have a very warm feeling, like the kind you would take of friends and family...it feels almost like fashion week's yearbook.
