Best Street Style PFW 2018
It's official, over the past few days fashion's biggest names have taken over the streets of Paris for Paris Fashion Week, turning the city into a mecca for spotting innovative fashions and stylish celebrities. This season, loads of exceptionally dressed models, editors, and influencers of every skin tone and size were captured by our street style photographer Darrel Hunter. Hunter challenged the idea that only a certain race or body type meets the sartorial standards of fashion with a collection of Paris Fashion Week street style images that show women of all different shapes, sizes, and shades. From model Imaan Hammam to R&B musician Kelela, Darrel's lens cast a spotlight on the women in fashion who have notoriously been left out of street style galleries.
This diverse gallery is meant to spark a conversation about diversity at European fashion weeks and help to create a more accepting and diverse industry for everyone, regardless of their physical appearance.
