When you’re faced with such a supremely busy collection—as was Giles’ Spring 2015 show—comprising so many prints and textures, there really is only one thing to do when it comes to hair: the complete opposite. “The clothes are really quite bright, they’re a bit ’70s, there’s a lot of color and shimmer, so when we were thinking about the hair, it seemed only natural that we create a style in contrast,” said Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck. The result was a restrained ponytail but with a Victorian twist: The pro made two parts at the forehead to form a triangular section, tied it off into a half pony, then gathered the length into one larger tail at the nape. Label.M Sea Salt Spray and Resurrection Style Dust provided the rough, matte finish.
MAC Make-Up Artist Lucia Pieroni went against the maquillage grain by deliberately de-beautifying the models. “We’re using blacks and grays [MAC  Eye Shadow in Soot and Black Tied] over the eyes, smoking them out, and taking the shape really low under the eyes, into the sides of the nose, and up toward the brow,” she explained. “If any of the girls are extremely pretty, we’re actually taking the shadows even lower to toughen them up.”
Motivated by the monster claws motif from the show’s invite, polish pro Marian Newman opted for a two-tone graphic nail—a sinister motif the models loved so much that most of them decided to keep it for their MFW castings. The design saw MAC Nail Lacquer in Deep Sea painted from the cuticle and up one-third of the nail, and Nocturnelle (black) over the rest.
What can we say, this menacing makeup and manicure provide plenty of reason to venture to the dark side...at least for a night.

We’re not sure which element of Kate Moss’ exit ensemble from last night’s AnOther magazine party in London earns the title for most dramatic: the teal velvet cape, the neck-to-ankle black sequins, or the striking swirl of blond hair piled high atop the super’s head. There is certainly no shortage of grandeur when it comes to the catwalker’s look, but here in the beauty department, we like to think the Grace Kelly-esque updo—with its sleek sides that showed off her chiseled cheekbones—won out. While we can’t quite pull off the more-is-more aesthetic Moss somehow managed to make work, we’ll steal that classic chignon (and skip the face-framing tendrils, smoky eyes, and red lipstick) any day of the week.

As it happens, the inspiration behind the look at today’s Tom Ford show was casually hanging out (in covetable heels, no less) in the labyrinth-like corridors that comprised backstage. Carine Roitfeld has long been a muse for the designer, and this relationship was reflected in the makeup Charlotte Tilbury created for the show: “Tom wanted the girls to look expensive but cool,” the face painter explained.
Skin was prepped with Tom Ford Intensive Infusion Ultra Rich Moisturizer to hydrate and plump complexions before foundation and concealer were used to erase any imperfections. The pièce de résistance—the blown-out, smoky Carine eyes—came courtesy of a new black cream shadow (yet to be named) that was buffed over the lids and along the bottom lash line. Next, Tom Ford’s Eye Defining Pencil was used to intensify and add some extra smolder (not that the models needed it). Lashes were lacquered with multiple coats of Extreme Mascara and, in a nod to the ’60s, Lip Colour in Vanilla Suede (a toasted taupe) polished off models’ pouts.
It was down another corridor and in a tiny room where hairstylist Sam McKnight really got to grips with the rock-and-roll brief. All 26 models had a wig cut and dyed to match her skin tone, including roots for a more realistic effect. The cutting came backstage, where McKnight, armed with a razor, chopped into the Debbie Harry-inspired shags—adding that “slept-in, post-sex” texture with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, while heavy, side-swept fringe fell “confidently” in catwalkers’ eyes.

I’ve known Paek Sung Hyun for a long time. He’s a man who has had a varied career: photographer, Korean barbecue restaurant and ping-pong pub owner, and former member of a well-known K-pop group called Koyote. Lately he’s added another job to that list: owner of a cactus shop. 

His latest project sprang from his hobby of making one-of-a kind pots for various cacti. On a trip to Paris a few months ago, he found an impressive shop that sold only cacti. His mind kept coming back to the plants, and the next thing he knew, he had a collection of a hundred or more. Soon he turned his eye to pots; at first he had been planting the cacti in empty containers, like beloved Campbell’s Soup cans. “A few of my friends [suggested I give] those cactus pots as gifts,” said Paek. This is how he came to open Cycle de l’Eau (literally “water cycle”), which is focused on his own customized pots made from empty bottles, among other things, and surely includes Andy Warhol’s iconic cans.
