Glam Rock, Siouxsie style.

Different story over at Diesel. I attack James Kiliardos first at make up. His inspiration is Siouxsie & the Banshees, but instead of her hard black eye, a softer brown one, Charcoal Brown & Espresso by MAC. The eyeshadow has a graphic shape, as do the clothes, explains Wilbert Das the designer. Geometric shapes of the 80’s, but reinterpreted in warm, earthy colors for now.

Bleached jeans and huge dolman/batwing sleeves send me spiraling back to the scary decade, but at least it isn’t Dynasty cobalt blue. Laurent Philippon is doing my fave hair. Glam rock, sexy & urban. A one inch barrel iron, Bumble & Bumble styling wax, with a sprinkling of Laurents dry shampoo, which grabs onto the wax, creating a thick and ‘dirty’ look. It is very good. There is a photographers war going on out there. The stage is set with fake photogs at one end of the runway, right opposite the real guys and girls. Black dresses and jumpsuits. Great layers of sweaters and shirts. Proportions are fun, with shirts hanging out with narrow jeans or super baggy. Oversized jackets, but without big shoulders, the coolest padded leather arm-warmers. Silk parachute pants, a fur jerkin and t shirts. Washed denim baggy pegged jeans…I’m scared, but strangely into it.
