Tommy Ton
Person
Born
Ton, a Canadian photographer, began with his blog Jak & Jil and went on to become the go-to street style photographer for Style.com, shooting for GQ as well. His pictures defined how the crowd outside the shows looked during the years when that crowd became as watched as the runway itself.
He is the one to study for detail: when he left Style.com in 2015 he launched his own site with an archive meant to be sorted by color, brand, trend and subject, cataloged down to every detail. That archive is the best record of the blog-era peacocking at its height.
