Lost in a moment before the lights rise ✨ Tonight's collection feels like a dream woven with lace & hope. #NYFW #SwimsuitsForAll #Additionelle

The photograph captures a moment frozen in time at New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The setting is backstage during a show for SwimsuitsForAll and Additionelle. It's 'tonight,' but the feeling is one of quiet anticipation after a long 'day.' The room is bustling, but this particular corner is bathed in a soft, diffused golden light filtering through a gap in the heavy velvet curtains – a stark contrast to the harsh fluorescent lights further away. A young woman (around 25), a model named Marinariinaldi according to a hastily scribbled schedule on a nearby clipboard, stands poised near a rack laden with stunning lingerie and dresses from the 'collection.' She’s wearing a delicate lace bodysuit, hinting at the more revealing pieces she'll wear later. A copy of a worn, leather-bound 'book,' likely a stylist's reference guide filled with mood boards and sketches, rests on her shoulder. She appears lost in thought, staring into the middle distance, a faint smile playing on her lips. The 'time' seems to stretch around her - a pause before the whirlwind of the show begins. A single shaft of light illuminates dust motes dancing in the air, creating an ethereal atmosphere. There’s a palpable sense of nervous excitement and quiet 'love' for the craft – visible in the meticulous care with which a makeup artist is applying lipstick to another model out of focus in the background. A discarded sketch pad lies open on a table showing a detailed design for a dress. The overall mood is intimate, vulnerable, and hopeful—a blend of backstage chaos and artistic serenity.
