The street fashion photography of Tommy Ton

by:

If the venerable Bill Cunningham of The New York Times took his wonderful man on the street fashion lay-outs global, the result might look something like the work of the fantastic Tommy Ton.

Ton (below) runs the Jak and Jil blog which gives an insider’s view of the international fashion business — both on the runways and what’s happening on the street outside.

Ton hits all the fashion hot spots — from Milan to New York — and posts beautiful pictures of his travels every day.

The photographer highlights some of the things that are left out of the mainstream fashion press — like the shots he posted of the models coming out of a Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan in 2010 (above).

Ton has a great eye and a journalist’s sense of finding subject matter worth preserving and sharing.
