Roberto Cavalli - Spring 2012

Sticking with Milan here is a shot from the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2012 collection. It was one of the final big shows I shot in Milan before getting ready to jet off to Paris. The model is Daphne Groeneveld, a fantastic model who has a very unique look. It's surprising that the decision was made for a black background with their being so many dark pieces. The models exited the show through a strangely lit middle section of the runway that was oddly curtained off from most of the audience.

Milan Fashion Week - Spring 2012

It's off to Italy next for Milan Fashion Week. MFW feels like more of a working holiday than a job. Here's a shot from the Frankie Morello Spring 2012 collection. This was shot using a Canon 70 - 200mm f2.8 L ISII and the model strutting her stuff on the runway is Kate King. This was a particularly fun show to shoot mainly down to the accessories and hats. The silver and gold camera necklaces gave a few of the models a chance to snap us for a change.
