Beautiful Reflections

Male models and makeup artists gather backstage at the Lanvin Menswear show held in École des Beaux-Arts – the School of Fine Arts – one of the many events put on as part of Paris Fashion Week. The men are preparing for the catwalk under a huge mural depicting respected pupils from the school’s history.

Degas, Monet and Renoir all trained at the school, though French sculptor Auguste Rodin was refused entry three times.
