The most wearable take was found at Emilia Wickstead, where brows were brushed up to enhance the very minimal makeup look, masterminded by makeup artist Amy Conway.
Gigantic accessories
At Annie’s, models’ hair was left down and accessorised with jumbo flower clips. According to McKnight, the brief was all about embracing hair’s natural texture and movement “with joy, freedom, and femininity,” he said. “I’m already being asked how people can replicate the look at home.” The hair at Chet Lo, meanwhile, featured feathers upon feathers. “The look is a reflection of Southeast Asian identity,” hairstylist Anna Cofone said backstage. “The feathery details are inspired by iconic headdresses from the Peking Opera, where ostrich feathers are used as an extension of the performance.”
Over at Bora Aksu, beaded hats and veils adorned models’ heads. “Bora’s moodboard really set the tone,” hairstylist Larry King explains. “There was a lot of lace, veiling, and bridal references—black veils and white dresses in particular—which felt romantic but slightly eerie.”
