Photography Georgia HilmerFashionLightboxWhat models really get up to at Fashion WeekSneak backstage at NYFW with Georgia Hilmer and her gang, including Tilda Lindstam, Xiao Wen Ju and Mona MatsuokaShareLink copied ✔️March 2, 2015FashionLightboxTextBiju BelinkyPhotographyGeorgia HilmerGeorgia Hilmer AW15 diary After getting discovered in a cinema and skipping class to attend her first fashion week, Georgia Hilmer went from football playing New Jersey high schooler to walking for Marc Jacobs. Signed to Next and now a seasoned show veteran who’s walked for the likes of Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent, Maison Margiela and Chanel couture, Hilmer has shown that she is a force to be reckoned with – but one that doesn’t take fashion too seriously. Having first showed up in the pages of Dazed for our May 2012 issue, and more recently stared in one of our Model Behaviour films (where she talks about discovering photography on an extended trip to Paris), today she opens up her fashion week diary. Click through the gallery above to see the ins and outs of New York AW15 – from eating brussel sprouts in the back of a cab to being crammed in an elevator with the highest model-per-capita concentration in New York.
