The Beautiful Life of Tom Pecheux
Glossed and Found
High-profile runway gigs would follow for Pecheux. "It's my favorite part of my job," he says of the backstage hustle and bustle. "When you do shows, it's amazing—you get four hours of preparation, then ten magical minutes of the show, and then you move on to the next one." In one more notable outing, Pecheux convinced a skeptical Stefano Pilati that glossy black lips were a good fit for the "army of girls" that the designer planned to send down the Yves Saint Laurent runway for Fall 2008 (left). The risky choice was a huge hit and inspired a slew of obsidian lip products.
