For all the flawless glamour that appears on a Paris catwalk, there’s a world of sharpened nails, frizzy hair and, of course, model rivalry behind it. In March 2005, Photographer Immo Klink (former assistant and studio manager to Wolfgang Tillmans) was given the heady task of capturing this parallel world at Paris Fashion Week. Commissioned by French newspaper Libération, over 10 days Klink recorded the technology, touch-ups and the sometimes-disturbing “beauties” that make up each 10-15 minute fashion show.

With a glare stronger than a pair of Versace nylons, Pret-a-Porter – Infrastructure Spectaculaire shows the instant coffee, cable-wired world behind the catwalk, contrasting the often dirty and rotting backstage spaces with the airbrushed beauty of the runway.
