Portraits by Joachim Muller

“The portraits were taken between 2016 and 2018, either at hotels in cities where, as models on the books of Eva Gödel’s Düsseldorf-based model agency Tomorrow Is Another Day, Müller-Ruchholtz’s subjects were scheduled to walk in fashion shows, or at their homes in various European centres – Paris, London, Berlin, Helsinki. They’re pictures taken at stolen moments along the urban circuit of a restless, globalised fashion industry. But even though these men might be walking Raf Simons or Hugo Boss the next morning, there isn’t much to indicate privilege or decadence in their surroundings.
