Valentino's show inside Paris's Carreau du Temple was a rendezvous between the past and present, the atelier and the street.
inside Paris's Carreau du Temple was a rendezvous between the past and present, the atelier and the street. "It's a mash up of Valentino and street style," explained makeup artist Pat McGrath backstage, in reference to the overarching beauty attitude for this season. "We're mixing every era together...'70s, '80s, '90s..." With her work cut out for her, McGrath supplied individual looks with a directional slant to all 96 of the models in the lineup.
"It's about creativity, reality, and reflecting the street," echoed hairstylist Guido Palau, who also had his hands full bringing to life a breadth of different hair looks that ran the gamut from intricate, thigh-skimming braids to punkish shaggy mullets and a swooped, sculptural New Romantics updo.
