Backstage before the NADA runway show at LG Fashion Week was a flurry of activity, from hair crimping, teasing and an extreme touch of eyeliner as the L'Oreal crew transformed these women into runway models. Big hair seemed to be all the rage as NADA geared up for yet another stunning show. Here's my photoset from the action backstage.

At the opening night gala for LG Fashion Week we sneaked backstage before shooting the runway at L'Oreal Paris' 100 Years of Fashion show. For more coverage, see our write-up and photos from opening night.

For Elk's, Lucian Matis' fashion show was bad news. For everyone else it was amazing! The most worked hair you've ever seen! Teased and woven around antlers with long, dark elegant gowns. Lucian has an eye for good things (just look at his custom distressed jeans.)

While my personal opinion on Ed Hardy stuff isn't exceptionally high, there is a sort of indulgent thrill to photograph their stuff backstage. Something about way-too beefy dudes and stupid thin, hot babes that well, is kinda fun.

Call me crazy.

Carlton Brown's energy is incredible. Maybe he stores it all in that trademark mole of his? He was in full control of every detail, running back and forth, ruffling hair, primping shirts; starting buttons then having his dressers finish doing the rest up. Backstage with his show was intense.

When a collection walks the runway to an electro mix of Manson's "Beautiful People" you know it's going to be kinda dark. NADA was the perfect touch of just enough goth without going overboard in that oh-so lame "highschool outcast" kind of way.
