Development of Final Design- Ideas and Inspirations

The basis of my final design for the shoot was inspired by Jeremy Scott’s SS15 designs for Moschino. When given the brief, this was the look for SS5 that sprang to mind first, as it was one of my favourite looks. I just loved how vibrant, playful and PINK it was, so I knew I wanted to incorporate elements from Moschino SS15 into my final look. Lucia Pieroni mixed three Mac Lipmix shades together to create the perfect Barbie pink pout. They included yellow, magenta and white. I decided to stick with similar themes, as I wanted the entire look to come together as a whole, so I kept in mind the use of pink and pastel tones and a fun theme bought to the catwalk at SS15 Fashion Week.

This could be seen extensively in Betsey Johnson’s catwalk show called ‘Prenup’, which featured models in lacy lingerie and wedding dresses in pastel tones paired with veils and majorly blingy jewellery. This was also another of my favourite catwalk shows. I teamed the two ideas together and came up with the overall idea of the front cover of my magazine featuring a doll like model, representative of Moschino SS15 with a wedding theme, representative of Betsey Johnson’s ‘Prenup’.

Now that I had a theme in mind, I began researching hair and makeup looks from SS15 that would complement the theme and overall look. I took some makeup inspiration from Moschino and knew I was going to incorporate a Barbie pink lip into the look as it really did epitomise the doll look. I also thought the fresh and clean base makeup with a touch of blush on the cheeks worked well with keeping the look vibrant and youthful.

When looking for catwalk shows that featured pastel tones and girly themes, I came across Ryan Lo’s mermaid inspired catwalk show for SS15 here the models wore an array of pastel coloured garments alongside bold pink jewellery, soft crimped hair and glitter eye makeup. I though the soft crimp going though the tousled hair alongside the lightly glittered eyelids was beautifully done and complimented the mermaid theme so well as the myth sees them as genteel and feminine creatures. So I decide to apply these feminine hair and makeup looks into my final design as the overall look would be very feminine and fun. However, I wanted my final deign to have a slightly edgier feel with a sense of confidence that was evoked in Betsey Johnson’s ‘Prenup’ and Jeremy Scott’s Barbie look for Moschino. I decided to look further into the makeup used for Ashish, as it was another of my favourite looks from SS15 that featured glitter, colour and bold attitudes.  When researching the makeup for Ashish, I discovered that the brands makeup director, Sharon Dowsett’s secret to making the glitter eye makeup so stand out and kitsch was “no liner and no lashes”.  I got the idea to then incorporate Sharon Dowsett’s makeup deign with Mathias Van Hooff’s makeup design for Ryan Lo. They both applied glitter over the entire lid and up to the brow bone. Model’s for Ryan Lo wore liner and lashes alongside colourful pastel glitters while model’s for Ashish featured bronze and copper glitter and gems/ sequins on the eyes with no liner or lashes. I took the use of pastel coloured glitters from Ryan Lo and the use of gems and sequins alongside no liner or lashes from Ashish.

The hair and makeup deign was complete. Now to put all the ideas together on a face chart.

Base: Clean, fresh, minimal base with a soft blush tone inspired by Lucia Pieroni’s makeup for Moschino SS15

Eyes: Glitter and sequin chaos with no liner or lashes inspired by Sharon Dosett’s makeup for AshishSS15. Pastel glitter tones inspired by Mathias Van Hooff’s makeup for Ryan Lo SS15
