Hearst Magazines has teamed up with famed New York photographer Patrick McMullan to expose the lives of the publishing company's top editors. The Faces of Fashion photography exhibit is open in Hearst Tower's gallery, revealing the subjects' experiences at fashion week.

The collection opened on Wednesday and shows images of Elle's Robbie Myers, Town & Country's Jay Fielden, Marie Claire's Anne Fulenwider and Nina Garcia and Harper Bazaar's Glenda Bailey.

'My focus on the Hearst fashion editors was certainly unique to my spring 2015 fashion week experience. The blue chip shows moved further away from the tents to off-site locations, which was quite prevalent and made it a lot more challenging getting from show to show,' McMullan told Hearst.

'But this exclusivity of location led to some wildly creative shows. I hope viewers have the chance to understand the relationship editors have with the clothes, the designers and the presentation that has gone otherwise unnoticed with all the theatrics of today's fashion week.'

The exhibit is composed of formal portraits and candid snapshots from the week. This unique glimpse into the publication world is accessible in the Hearst Gallery from Monday through Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

McMullan has published six books of photography - including the 2007 release of Glamour Girls and 2006's Kiss Kiss - and is considered a staple of the New York City fashion world. He has cultivated a long, valued friendship with Hearst and its editors.

'When I met with the Hearst communications team in July, we made it a point to discuss possible projects for a Hearst and PMc collaboration,' he told Hearst about the collaboration.

'It just so happened they were looking for the next exhibit to show in one of the Hearst gallery spaces so we both jumped at the opportunity to work together. I fell in love with the concept they presented and we ran with it from there.'
