Hair accessories win the spotlight at NYFW SS 2017

When makeup is kept pared down, hair wins the stage and during this SS 2017 New York Fashion Week, the accessories seen on models' head were endless.

Quando il makeup viene tenuto sotto tono, sono i capelli a stare sotto i riflettori. A confermarlo ci pensano i look portati in passerella (fino ad ora) alla Fashion Week Newyorkese che offrono per la Primavera Estate 2017 un'infinita serie di ispirazioni. E ce ne è per tutti i gusti.

Boosting singularity at Versace SS2016

AtVersace SS2016 the beauty look was all about individuality. Donatella briefed both Pat McGrath and Guido Palau to boost singularity among models without changing them. The result? As for the makeup there was just a lot of glow, a touch of brown shadow around the eyes and mascara. Hair was glossy with a bit of rock ’n’ roll feeling.

All about street vibes at Alexandre Wang SS2016

Back to the streets, back to the feelings and style of when Alexander Wang started. This was the briefing for the SS2016 beauty look, something that Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics, Guido Palau and manicurist Michelle Saunders translated in a row vibe: “the girls are meant to kind of look as they are, with a little bit of grooming but nothing ‘done’” as the makeup-pro said.

The offbeat beauty look at Dior Fall 2015

Dramatic side ponytails with a future feeling, aggressive color-blocked eyes painted with the most basic foam applicator and moody mismatched manicures were the foundation of the offbeat beauty look at Dior’s Fall 2015 Fashion Show.

Code laterali dal feel futuristico, sguardi aggressivi dipinti in blocchi di colore con il più semplice degli applicatori in gommapiuma e manicure spaiate hanno gettato le basi dello stravagante beauty look voluto da Raf Simons e Peter Philips per il prossimo inverno di Christian Dior.

The New Elegance at Prada Fall 2015

New Elegance. With these two words Miuccia Prada briefed the beauty look for her Fall 2015 collection. And it took no time to Path mcGrath and Guido Palau to traduce it in action creating a pared down but still visible makeup and a puffed-up side ponytail embellished with the most precious barrettes that will bring you straight back to the Eighties.

New Elegance. Due parole per descrivere il beauty look voluto da Miuccia Prada per il suo show Autunno Inverno 2015, un concetto che Pat McGrath e Guido Palau hanno colto al volo e che hanno tradotto in un trucco soft ma comunque visibile e in un updo dal vibe Anni Ottanta impreziosito da barrette che già ci fanno sognare.

Dior Spring 2015 Haute Couture Show: Let's keep it modern.

Al suo ultimo show Couture per l’AW 2014-2015, la maison Dior si è contraddistinta in campo di make-up per audacia e innovazione lanciando i rivoluzionari Mirror Eyes; oggi, invece, sono scese sulle passerelle (o meglio dalle impalcature-glam) della Spring 2015 modelle dal trucco au naturel. Moderno certo, ma senza voli pindarici, con l’obiettivo esclusivo di controbilanciare con eleganza l’hairstyle e gli abiti a cui non sono mancati spunti creativi ed elementi grafici. 

At the last AW 2014-2015 Haute Couture Show, Dior stood out in the beauty department for boldness and innovation by launching the revolutionary Mirror Eyes; today, however, models run down the Spring 2015 catwalk (or, more accurately, the revolutionary tiered white metal scaffolding) with fresh faces and a no-make-up make-up look.

At Lanvin they are not afraid to play - AW14

An ink sketch is what models wore on their eyelid at Lanvin next fall runway. Pat McGrath wanted the girls to be brave and strong so she played with a contrast: eyes vs lashes. 

Uno schizzo di inchiostro è ciò che ha definito il make-up del prossimo inverno di Lanvin. Path McGrath ha giocato sul  contrasto di occhi contro ciglia per dar vita a delle ragazze coraggiose e forti.

Basic beauty with no frippery @ Prada AW14

Basic is the word that has been used from Guido Palau and Pat McGrath to describe their looks for Prada’s next fall. Honestly, basic is not the definition I would use but their intention was to create a pared-down mode of beauty that needed no frippery, and this was evident. 

Essenziale è stata la parola di punta nel backstage di Miuccia Prada e, sia Guido Palau all’hairstyle sia Pat McGrath al trucco, hanno definito così le loro creazioni. Onestamente “basic” non è il termine che avrei scelto io per questi look ricercati ma la loro intenzione era quella di creare una bellezza senza ostentazione o fronzoli.

Fairies @ Alberta Ferretti AW14

What we have seen backstage at Alberta Ferretti was a fantasy world made of fairies and wood elves. Everything from the collection to the beauty look alluded to softness, romanticism and imagination.

Ispirazione fate ed elfi per l’AI2014 di Alberta Ferretti. Dalla collezione al beauty look tutto rimanda a delicatezza, immaginazione  e romanticismo.
