Seen at Givenchy: Kiss curls and facial piercings…
“Chola Victorian” is the way renowned make-up artist Pat McGrath described the intricate facial jewels and piercings seen on the Givenchy Autumn/Winter 2015-16 catwalks…
“Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo [Tisci] had done a basic reference for us and then asked us to be free and work with the girls’ features,” make-up artist Pat says of this modified look. The make-up process took more than six hours to complete on each of the models before they stepped onto the catwalks. “He gave us the jewellery, but we had to work out how it would stay on because it was quite weighty, so we dealt with that for quite some time!”
Oversize septum rings, earrings and embellishments are placed with pearls, emeralds, rubies… Oh and kiss curls for that extra “chola” edge. What do you think of this “Chola Victorian” look? Love it or hate?
