MICHAEL VAN DER HAM AW13…
Shooting backstage at Michael van der Ham was serene. Everything was clicking away like clock work. The models had fake half fringes clipped into their hair and had dark moody eyeliner applied to their lids. I love seeing the clothes hanging on the rail and then seeing them come to life on the catwalk…
The collection was absolutely gorgeous. There were tops (see top right) with holes cut out of them. It almost looks as if some super powerful moths went to work on the fabric. My favourite pieces were the sheer tops (see top middle) with embroidery on them and the brocade pencil leg trousers. The show closed with three stunning dresses that would look killer on any red carpet. Michael van der Ham isn’t a designer that I was familiar with before the show but since seeing this collection he’s become one of my favourite London designers. *Collage photos from style.com*
Massive thanks to ebay for getting me backstage and for inviting me to the show.

Stunning photographs Jen! I’m obsessed with backstage shots – knowing full well that it’s chaos backstage with messy dressing tables but photos always seem to elicit a strange tranquility.

Oooh I love these photos Jen! Especially the fringe cutting and all the models are so beautiful!
Taking note of Elit’s Kate for next season
I always love Michael’s way with manipulating fabric, and it’s good that he’s been working prints in properly for the past couple of seasons. Not so sure about the “half fringes” though…
amazing pics…I am fun of your blog…
