Wham! Eighties Makeup In Full Effect
March 2, 2009 1:05 pm

As our intrepid fashion reporters have noted, “flogged-to-tedium eighties referencing” has been a prominent theme this show season—from New York to London, realized in both fashion and beauty form. While François Nars’ masterpiece of 50-plus different punk-inspired creations backstage at Marc Jacobs set the bar high, Roxy Music-esque faces awash in watercolor stayed the course at Issa. And now Milan has officially followed suite, with a strong homage to the age of excess popping up at both Alessandro Dell’Acqua and Gucci, where Pat McGrath heralded a new day for bright shadows, innovative liner application, and serious bronzer. In case you were wondering, now is the time to purchase that Dynasty collector’s box set—for entertainment and inspiration purposes.
