Staged Style

With all the photographers present at fashion events, there's a good chance that if you're dressed even half decently, you'll get photographed. And, of course, if you're rocking some street-style bait, the chances are much higher (think ombre hair, a Céline bag, a sheer mullet skirt…).

The prevalence of street-style photogs has also led to rampant "peacocking," especially during fashion week. "As street style has gotten more popular, there are definitely more people hanging around Fashion Week dressed up — like bloggers and fashion students who are not attending but want to be photographed and seen. Often people will be standing outside a Fashion Show, already posed, waiting to be photographed." Even The Sartorialist hosts get-togethers where guests get dressed up for lunch and get treated to a private photo session that eventually ends up on the blog. Is that style from the street? No, not technically. But it sure makes for a pretty picture.
