Beauty inspiration backstage can run the gamut from “English Rose” to “Post-Apocalyptic Bladerunner Chic.” But this season,Fashionista Fashion Industry News, Designers, Runway Shows,,Mulberry Shoulder Bags, it looks like the name of the game is mostly just rock ‘n roll.
Rock as an inspiration is nothing new – it pops up every season. But this time around things feel a bit different. Those that don’t take the “clean,mulberry australia, fresh and simple” route are edging farther and farther into grungy, hard rock territory. Usually,mulberry bags online, Fall brings lots of retro-glam or Victorian-era looks to the runways,Mulberry HOBO, but the general feel from backstage is that this season is a lot harder and rawer than those past.
Hence the rock stars. There was boyish and British Quadrophenia hair at Preen,Mulberry Bayswater, “Mick Jagger’s poet rock girlfriend” at 3.1 Phillip Lim, a gorgeous purple smoky eye at Miss Sixty, and the very fitting “street rock n’ roll” greasy hair and smoky cat eyes at Yigal Azrou√´l.
There was even a “walk of shame” theme at Carlos Campos, with models sporting pallid skin and a creamy, dark eye smudged off on the outer corners, as if someone had hurriedly tried to make the vampy eye look respectable for the light of day and the long walk home (been there, done that).
My favorites were the badass black and white eyes created by MAC’s James Kaliardos at Preen, and the ribbon-bedecked, “Seventeenth Century Rock Star” braids whipped together by Redken’s David Cruz at Abaete.
I for one am glad to see the Retro and Romantic Goth trends (with a few notable exceptions) phasing out. You can only see so many pin curls and “brooding” dark lips before you just want to hit the makeup artist over the head with your notepad.
Raw and deconstructed is so much more interesting than perfectly polished. Just don’t take it to Little J levels of raccoon grunge.
