Meet Alex "Très Cool" Dobé, a talented photographer who has made a name for himself in street style, runway, and backstage photography across major fashion weeks in cities like Paris, Milan, Tokyo, and New York. His journey began in 2012, inspired by a photographer he discovered on Tumblr, and has since evolved into a career that takes him around the world.

I first met Alex backstage at Tokyo Fashion Week, where I noticed him and another photographer, Goldie Williams, sitting quietly amidst the chaos. They told me they traveled together to fashion weeks globally, maintaining their friendship despite the competitive nature of the industry. Their camaraderie and ambition inspired me in such a demanding field. When we crossed paths again, I asked Alex for an interview.

Alex’s photography isn’t just about fashion—it’s about capturing the essence of people, their stories, and the energy they bring. His work reflects a deep connection to the diverse cultures he encounters through his lens.

東京ファッションウィークで、私はアレックス・"トレ・クール"・ドベに出会った。殺風景なバックステージの中で異質なほどクールな二人組、彼とその友人ゴールディ・ウィリアムズが目を引いた。話しかけると、彼らはフォトグラファー同士で、世界中のファッション・ウィークを一緒に回っているという。この競争が激しいファッションの世界で、同じ職業の者が旅をしながら友情を保っている、その事実に驚いたし、インスピレーションを与えてくれた。 - musubi magazine 編集長 ユカリ
