“This may only be a short five years, but it feels like ten wonderful years have passed to me. Shooting for Style.com has been the greatest opportunity of my life, and it has brought me so much success. There are many friendships and memories that I could not imagine.

Tommy Ton posted a thank you message on Instagram
We have all been amazed by his photos. He has a unique eye for accessories. During fashion week, we wait for his works on websites such as "Vogue", "GQ", and Style.com. However, in the fashion industry, because of This trend started with street photography masters like Scott Schuman, Garance Doré, and others. Amateurs also had the opportunity to become famous, but it turned into the "circus" incident that was hotly discussed a while ago.
Now that Tommy Ton has been contributing to Style.com for five years, Style.com takes a look at how Tommy Ton sees the fashion world changing these days.
Accessories! Accessories!
"My original idea was to emphasize shoes and other details, because at that time I didn't pay much attention to how women used accessories, so I wanted to capture the accessories crazily through the screen. To be honest, cut to other peoples faces Its not a cautious strategy, but what I'm more interested in is their body language. The people I photograph are very expressive, like how they are calling the driver or looking for something in their bag (if they are not in a crazy state). ). This gave me the motivation to watch how they paired their signature clutches with a string of bracelets."
Phoebe Philo’s minimalist style:
"Before working for Style.com, "Balmainia" was a common dressing style for editors. Everyone wanted to become a Balmain girl, especially Emmanuelle Alt, the current editor-in-chief of French Vogue. But when Phoebe Philo took over Celine, in a blink of an eye, the fashion world became minimalist, and people began to wear camel."
The rise of Japanese Vogue creative director Anna Dello Russo:
"I became friends with Anna Dello Russo when I worked for Style.com in the first season. She asked people around me who I was, but she couldn't identify me among the photographers, but she ended up still She successfully found out who was the person who was secretly photographing her from time to time, and she introduced herself. We hit it off immediately, and she became a muse for street photography. Her endless enthusiasm and energy ensured that she wore a variety of outfits every day. It became our mission. No matter which city I think of her, she plays with fashion and laughs with me."
Believers of the Dark God Rick Owens:
"As far as the scenes outside the fashion weeks that I have photographed in the past few years, no designer can attract a group of loyal followers like Rick Owens. Season after season, they are wearing Rick Owenss clothes. Design, gathered outside the show like a pilgrimage. It was an extraordinary moment, almost like the dark army getting ready for battle."
The power of Street Style:
"Watching others being photographed and being photographed on the streets at Style.com showsPhotography is a beautiful thing, especially when it affects certain women in the fashion circle, such as Hanneli Mustaparta (www.hanneli.com/) and Miroslava Duma of the Russian Gang, who transformed from almost unknown people into popular icons. In a very short period of time, it is undeniable that Street Style has had a great impact on the fashion industry. ”
The Fall of a Fashion Legend:
“It’s sad to see fashion legends slowly fade away. I was lucky enough to photograph legendary Italian fashion critic Anna Piaggi during her last few years attending Fashion Week.” (ps. Anna Piaggi in August 2012. Passed away on the 7th)
Fashionable people in Paris:
"While styles come and go, you can always rely on the French Vogue team for a simple and stylish interpretation."
The storm is brewing:
“The most challenging factor in street photography is the weather, but no matter whether it’s heavy snow or a gentle breeze, it can’t stop me from shooting. And unexpectedly, my favorite photos in the past were all in Captured in bad weather."
Street photography turns into a circus?
“Sometimes, fashion circles feel that the atmosphere of a show has become a circus and diverts attention from the clothes on the catwalk. But with the growing power of social media, it seems difficult to stop this phenomenon.”

Favorite moment:
“The best highlights of these five years are the shots I took by accident. I’m still amazed by the chaos happening outside. It’s like a jungle. All you can do is don’t close your eyes and enjoy it. All of this."
