For the 10th year in a row, I photographed Cornell University’s annual fashion show. According to the Cornell Fashion Collective’s website:

The Cornell Fashion Collective, formerly the Cornell Design League, is a student-run organization that provides members of the Cornell community with an outlet to express creativity in fashion and fashion management. Each spring, our organization presents a professional runway show featuring the talent of students who both design apparel and manage the operations of the show. Our organization gives students, both undergraduate and graduate, the opportunity to practice design, demonstrate their talents, and learn how to produce a large-scale fashion event.

As I have mentioned in the past, although I enjoy photographing the show itself (you can see those photos), I especially enjoy capturing candid photos of the designers and models getting ready for the show backstage before the actual show.

Here’s a collection of the backstage photos I captured this year (2016)…
