Pairs fashion week. my absolute favourite! I thought there would be no better way to start my blog than with some of my favourite parts from recent shows. No one will be able to forget these past few days of PFW with shows from Chanel, Valentino, McQueen and of course Marc Jacobs final show for Louis Vuitton - Its been very exiting.
Being a makeup artist you can imagine Chanel's SS14 show was super exiting for me. The anime style neon eye created by Peter Phillips, Chanel's former global director for makeup artistry was so striking, a very unusual and bold approach.
I loved the whole Chanel SS14 show, it was almost past/future with a 60's and 70's vibe and a strong futuristic, robotic edge. Cropped flicked out wigs & such bold colours on the pieces throughout made this such a powerful show. As always Cara Delevingne looked stunning sporting a platinum blonde wig along with the bold anime-esque eye. I love what Karl Lagerfeld has done and think it was an amazing show. Hopefully we will be seeing a bright eye palette in Chanel's SS14 collection.

Secondly, there was the Louis Vuitton show last night, a moving show being Marc Jacobs LAST show for Vuitton. The setting was stunning, a very dark and mysterious vibe. With a giant gothic black carousel and water fountain it was incredible, definitely one to watch!
Minimal makeup was worn, so the giant black spiked headpieces were main focus. There was allot of tights, cut outs, lace, leather almost like a gothic rock chick vibe a very inspiring show.
Marc Jacobs is now focusing on his own label, so it leaves the question who will join Vuitton? Nicolas Ghesquiere is said to be top contender to take Marc Jacobs place. Ghesquiere left Balenciaga last year after successfully revamping the brand. So hopefully if he does replace Jacobs he will bring a creative edge to Vuitton.

Finally McQueen, another breathtaking show, allot brighter than what we usually see form McQueen, lots of leather, feathers and geometric patterns made a very strong look.
My favourites have to be the shoes, there were super high super strappy bold statement shoes!
Leather harness' and military-esque headwear gives the beautiful layered victorian dress pictured below, a masculine and very 'McQueen' edge. Overall I thought this show was really good I loved the feminine pieces teamed with masculine accessories look and again minimal makeup.
