Review :
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. Vivienne Westwood Niall McInerney's images burst from the page in this fashion feast matched by Nilgin Yusuf's fascinating insights into the colourful culture of an evolving catwalk. Conveying its excitement, glamour and creativity, this is a must-have for fashion-lovers and aficionados... this book will be my fashion bible from now on! Felicity Green OBE, fashion journalist and former newspaper executive With fashion weeks attracting ever-increasing media attention, the catwalk show is critical to a fashion brand's success. This book gives a fascinating insight into the history of the 'show' from all angles - the early supermodels, famous FROW characters past and present, and the secrets of production, with an archive of pictures that beautifully illustrates the rise of this modern fashion phenomena. Trish Halpin, Editor-in-Chief, Marie Claire, UK 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 Paris, New York, Milan and London. This book takes you behind the hype and glamour that surrounds the fashion runway show. It reveals the pressures and extravaganzas of catwalk models, photographers, journalists and designers. Written in an accessible and witty manner, Fashion's Front Line explores the catwalk as a culture with its own rules that are made and broken. If you love fashion, then you will love this book. Vicki Karaminas, Massey University Wellington, New Zealand An inspiring documentary record of one of the fashion world's most assiduous and talented photographers introduced through the perceptive observations of a true industry 'insider'. Fashion's Front Line provides an indispensable introduction to a unique visual resource and the workings of this most fascinating of creative cultures. Christopher Breward, University of Edinburgh, UK, and author of Fashion's World Cities and Fashioning London
