Burberry AW14:


1.

"The Bloomsbury girls"


The inspiration behind the Burberry AW14 collection was the boho Bloomsbury set of 1920s London.
Makeup artist Wendy Rowe and hair stylist Neil Moodie perfectly mirrored this with the hair and make-up. Wendy used subtle sweeps of colour for the Burberry AW14 campaign.
Wendy swept mulberry eyeshadow on the top and bottom eyelids for a wash of colour and blended the edges with her fingertips. The finished look is almost like the models have done it themselves, with no proper shapes and it gives the feeling of boho innocence. Wendy pressed mauve lipstick into the lips.

Neil Moodie hair stylist explained how he created an effortless, natural texture by using detangling spray and a bit of oil to give the hair a natural sheen. Then used a hair drier diffuser with a slightly off-centre parting to create an undone, almost windswept effect letting the natural texture come through.

Marc Jacobs SS14:

Marc Jacobs is definitely a designer who can always surprise me. You just never know what to expect from him. This was the case with his SS14 collection.
The collection was definitely not something you would expect for a spring/summer collection. There were mainly dark colours, dresses were dark, gothic and dramatic, with oversized jackets.
I really liked the darkness of the set and the music, and I liked some pieces of the collection, but overall I wouldn't say it was my cup of tea. Some pieces were nearly a bit too goth for my taste. But I really liked the idea of it being dark for a spring/summer collection as it is very unexpected.
I found the hairstyle very weird but in a sort of good way. The uniformed, short blonde wigs complimented the music, the set and the collection very well. It was very odd. I felt like I'm watching a Tim Burton movie:)

Make-up:

Apart from focusing on the dresses, fashion shows are a good chance to see what are the upcoming beauty trends. A huge trend that came out this season was definitely the blue eye.
Francois Nars created two different looks at the show, using teal and royal blue.

"This is a summer look that's all about the eye"- explained Francois. "Most of the girls have a teal blue line, but some have royal blue, extending past both the inner and outer corner. The skin is very transparent for a flushed look. Marc wanted the girls to look beautiful and edgy- interesting, but not too pretty."
Nars used a mixture of NARS Blue Dahlia and Kalisté eye pencils. Nars kept the skin fresh and glowing, using Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser. He did not apply any blush or lipstick, but when it came to mascara "we're using as much as possible. It's a little bit decadent, a little too thick"- he explained.

Hair:

"Marc always loves a free-spirited woman. The kind of girl that has her own style and does her own thing or maybe cuts her own hair"- says Guido Palau backstage at the show, explaining Marc's preference for character over prettiness.
Guido created the bleached-out, surfer-punk style wigs for the show. "It's blonde with dark roots, boyish, a little bit grown out. It's kind of an L.A. kid."
