I m so happy that Niall is doing a book, a chance I hope for people to see pieces from my fashions starting from the beginning, and he does capture the excitement. He has always been generous in giving me copies of his photos and with this we built our archive. Lots of love, Vivienne.

With fashion weeks attracting ever-increasing media attention, the catwalk show is critical to a fashion brand's success.

Fashion s Front Line absolutely crackles with the excitement, drama and thrills that make a great catwalk show. The models, designers, celebrities, and great fashion moments are all here captured superbly by the lens of Niall McInerney and Nilgin Yusuf s dazzling and informed writing. --- Marcelle d'Argy Smith, former Editor of Cosmopolitan, UK

Reading Fashion's Front Line takes me back to the excitement of when I started attending the shows as a rookie reporter. Niall McInerney's own story on fashion's front line - a war zone all of its own - is a fascinating insight into how the shows - and the industry itself - has developed. And of course, Niall's photographs are gems, each and every one, from a (pre-selfie) snap of him with a fresh-faced Kate Moss to backstage images of designers including Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander McQueen - from a time when photographers had far more access than they do now.
- Tamsin Blanchard, Fashion Features Director, Telegraph Magazine, UK

Fashion's Front Line showcases the archive of fashion photographer Niall McInerney. Nilgin Yusuf has written a stunning and original text to accompany the sumptuous images, approaching the narrative of fashion from unexpected and thought provoking angles, an eloquent account delivering new insights and reminding us that fashion is not some trivial decoration to the serious business of life, but resides at its heart.
- Elizabeth Wilson, author of Adorned in Dreams

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Before the live streaming of international catwalk shows and the instant culture of digital reproduction, you had to be there. Alongside the black-clad fashion editors, buyers and front row celebrities were the photographers: unsung heroes of fashion who captured the moments that would go on to provide our record of fashion as it happened.

A visual journey through three decades of photographing shows in Paris, Milan, London and New York, Fashion s Front Line showcases the extraordinary work of catwalk photographer Niall McInerney. Giving readers the complete picture, the book captures many rare and never-before-seen images of iconic moments on the runway, famous faces on front row, the atmosphere backstage and dazzling after-show parties.

With commentary from the photographer himself, as well as interviews with the fashion insiders, Fashion s Front Line is a unique window onto the world of late 20th-century fashion. As good as a front row ticket, this book will be a must-have for fashion lovers and scholars alike.
