Katrin Wesolowski works with the founder of  La Mode En Images (In House Production Company for the Balmain show) the company founded by Olivier Massart.   La Mode En Images also works on other various shows during Paris Fashion Week like Givenchy, Balenciaga, Valentino, and YSL to name a few.

I thought it would be fun to follow the stages of one model from beginning to end for Balmain -- including her street style -- so I chose Jac, since my experiences with her on the street had been so good.   It was an amazing experience overall, documenting the stages a model goes through from start to finish for one of the most prestigious shows Paris Fashion Week has to offer.
