"The legendary war photographer Robert Capa once said, 'if your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough,'" writes Gabriel Bouys, a Madrid-based photographer who covered one of Spain's most infamous festivals alongside reporter Marianne Barriaux.

"Shooting a catwalk show in Milan usually means packing in like sardines with a gang of grumpy photographers, and waiting passively to snap the models as they walk towards you," writes AFP's Gabriel Bouys. "In the street you’re on the hunt for images – but during fashion week you never have far to go. You can spot them all over the city like a colourful tribe. The fashionistas are everywhere. For someone like me who is no fashion expert, it is all a lot of fun. An unreal bubble."

"A big fashion show is like a Hollywood film premiere: the A-list stars take their time getting there. But outside, the crowds arrive well in advance to get noticed, and snapped posing at a top world fashion event", writes the AFP chief photographer for Italy Gabriel Bouys. "This year, just for once, I slipped away from the catwalks and took my camera backstage, and outside, where I discovered a buzzing parallel world I had no idea was there."
