More about the authors:
Concurrent with the tenth anniversary of 7th on Sixth, the organization that hosts New York’s Bryant Park–based Fashion Week, InTents is your all-access pass to the only U.S. staging of this yearly event—from the backstage bustling of barely clad models to the front row jockeying of the A-list editors and celebrities du jour. With this monograph, famed celebrity and fashion photographer Patrick McMullan celebrates a decade of fashion and our unending fascination with it.
An unparalleled opus combining documentary and fashion photography in its most intimate moments, InTents captures, in a uniquely McMullan-esque take, runway shows of the established and upcoming designers. Featuring quotes by the fashion world’s most famous players, and chronicling the highly charged lives of supermodels, celebrities, and fashion editors during this electric week of shows, InTents also pays tribute to the machine behind the scenes—the stylists, photographers, publicists, hair and makeup artists, and all those who make it happen every season.
“I enjoy the collections here in New York under the tents more than I enjoy the collections in Paris. It’s something I always look forward to, and I’m never disappointed.”
—Donald Trump
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of InTents will be donated to the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance.
