Girls with larger than life hair and candescent skin looked
like extras from a 1960’s sci-fi. The huge hair overwhelmed and defined the
girl’s silhouette, making them look like an army of Barbarella Barbie dolls.
The head stylist at Toni and Guy explained that he and Krystof had collaborated
closely to come up with iconic 60’s hairstyles, inspired by the era as well as
Sharon Stone in Casino, that have a minimalist and
achingly modern aesthetic. The hairstyles displayed a difference in the range
of shape and texture, which was achieved by using Label M Mousse
and almost invisible rubber bands stretched over the crown to flatten the hair
at the front of the head and give a sleek look. From the restriction of the
band, backcombed hair plumed and framed the model’s perfect faces. The hair was
then brushed out at the bottom, smoothed over and held with grips underneath to
give an elegant finish.
Krystof was very specific about the make-up for his models.
He asked the make-up artists at The Body Shop to focus on pale, shimmery skin
and they achieved this by using The Body Shop’s radiant highlighter
mixed with their extra virgin mineral foundation. The
eyebrows were also lightly blocked out and white eyeliner was used beneath the
model’s eyes. Together with The Body Shop’s 01 illuminating
eyeshadow and moonstone eyeshadow the
models look like beautiful, ethereal creatures from another planet.
Altogether, the avant-garde make-up and architecturally
sculpted hair complimented the modern precision cut tailoring and minimalist
colour and texture blocking of Krystof’s designs.
