This week, Ashley is in Paris with Romina Introini (Romilux), one of the street style and fashion photographers shaping how Fashion Month is seen in real time. You have likely seen her work on official fashion week accounts, brand channels, and creator feeds. What you may not know is the path that built it: documenting life in Uruguay, a retail job at Zara, and a decision to keep showing up to fashion week long before there were clients attached.
For Episode 5, our host Ashley McDonnell sits down with Romina Introini (Romilux), a street style and fashion photographer documenting Fashion Month in real time across NY, Paris, Milan, and London.
Romina didn’t break in through a traditional route. She built a portfolio in public, then let the work create its own gravity.
Street style is not just taste. It’s positioning, speed, editing, and distribution, and she approaches it like a discipline.
The “breakthrough” role with London Fashion Week arrived at the last minute, but it was earned through seasons of self-funded consistency.
Scaling output required structure, not hustle. She built a small team to support video, editing, and behind the scenes storytelling.
Her clearest advice is the most practical: start with what’s around you and build proof of work before opportunity arrives.
