As the cool autumn breeze swept across the streets during the Fall/Winter 2025 fashion weeks, it wasn’t just the runway shows that captured attention. Each season, the sidewalks outside show venues become a stage for equally stunning style moments. From bold oversized tailoring to unexpected bursts of color and even a random bride, the fashion crowd proved once again that magic can be found off the runway.
Myles Kalus, a Sydney-based street style photographer with over 13 years of experience, was on the ground capturing all these fashionable moments. “I got a camera as a Christmas present in 2012, with the intention of using it to document my final semester of university,” Kalus shared about his entry into photography. “I was studying something entirely different at the time, but as I delved deeper into photography, I realized it might be for me. So, after finishing my degree, I decided to dive fully into the craft.”
Kalus credits renowned photographers like Trent Parke, Saul Leiter, Alex Webb, and Daido Moriyama as influences, describing them as “master storytellers in their own way.”
Reflecting on the season, Kalus summed up his experience with two words: “overwhelming” and “revitalizing.” “While London felt quieter, Milan and Paris were at the opposite end of the spectrum,” he recalled. “The last time I shot fashion week was in February 2020, just as COVID was spreading through Europe. It was already tough to shoot with the crowds and chaos, but nothing like the current situation—with increased security, barricades, and fans camped out for a glimpse of their favorite celebrity. The photographers’ decorum seemed to be diminishing as well.”
He went on to explain the stark contrast after his five-year hiatus. “The change was drastic, and it was overwhelming at first. But instead of feeling demotivated, I chose to embrace the challenge of navigating this new environment. I started to look for moments I would have previously overlooked. With a fresh perspective, I found joy in capturing new subjects and angles—almost like a child entering a theme park for the first time.”
