Sunday 21st Febuary
Arrived at the Royal Court of Justice for the Vivienne Westwood Red Label show. I was really looking forward to it, for obvious reasons, and because Gordon Espinet was keying the look. I worked with him in Paris, and he is so easy to get along with! And of course, he is a genius when it comes to make-up. The make-up was "based 0n light", the girls faces were shaded to create shadows, either on both sides of their faces, or just down one side, as if light was hitting their faces from different directions. I really enjoyed doing this make-up, all the models were great to work with, everything ran smoothly, and it was just dreamlike........
Friday 19th Febuary
Hannah Marshall show!!! I was so excited, I love her! Her clothes are AMAZING, and she works a lot with Florence + the Machine, and a love Florence too! Alex (legend) Box keyed the look, and that was amazing too! Sticky back plastic templates gave a really clean look to the eye shape. Everything was just amazing really, oh, apart from the venue! The power kept cutting out, which delayed things slightly! Can't do make-up in the dark! It was the most manic show I've done yet, but the models looked fab with those blue lips and pale skin!
Here's a taste of the backstage chaos:
And the actual show:
