Bok-hee has her work cut out for her. At Rebecca Taylor there is a lot of hair doing going on! Bok-hee is using setting lotion, then a 2inch iron to curl, then brushing it out, then back combing, then crimping, then brushing and finally, um, curling. The end result desired is that of full movement, airiness and texture. I suggest the models probably looked like that when they came in, but that doesn’t go over too well. I must say it is very effective, if not damaging!
Over in make up Romy Soleimani with MAC is creating a fresh, washed out version of a late 70’s dreamer, Teal eye with a little gold sparkle. A lip she calls ‘lingerie’, actually 3N MAC, and soft contour on the cheeks. Very pretty. Rebecca Taylors girl is inspired by Charlotte Gainsburgh, (my total fave) and a woman that is an aristocrat, but has lost everything, and apparently has to live on her inheritance. Phew. Glad that was cleared up. She drinks Pastis and smokes at the local cafes in Paris. Right, but what does she wear? OK, the clothes are somber, greys, black, hand painted prints and gentle florals. Pretty. Boyfriend jackets and crombies. A gorgeous grey sweater with lace at the neckline. The signature petit dot black lace
yoke on silk dresses, and a sequined cardi. The only color is purple platforms, cheetah print bags and a very sparkly runway. A beautiful dandelion dress with a shearling vest. Great look. I guess the shearlings are the designers Kiwi roots. Colors are muted, almost overwashed, dingy. At last, a pretty floral, chiffon dress with some edge, it’s not prissy.
