Some designers, like Chado Ralph Rucci, elevate the art to a completely different playing field. The clothes offer a very couture quality, and a more mature feel. Sure, teeny boppers can sport Chado, but the real wearers are those who love their St. John by Marie Gray.
The makeup was done by Tom Pecheux for MAC cosmetics, and the hair done by Laurent for Bumble & Bumble. “The look is a pretty pale face and all the focus is on the eyes,” he says. “Since the clothes are very sculpted with a twist, we used false eyelashes on only on one half side of the eyes.”
The false lashes add such a new dimension to the face, as the sleek and shiny gelled hair does. The eyelashes were coated with black mascara, and the lips had MAC lip conditioner on them with a touch of Subculture Lip Pencil. The eyes were half doused in the eyeshadow called PRINT.
“The clothes are also very minimal with a twist,” says Pecheaux. ”So that’s what we wanted the makeup to also be.”
Bob Laurent for Bumble & Bumble says about the hair, “It’s an organic wrap with a couture element at the back,” and he refuses to use the term “bow” or “ribbon” to describe the way it was worn at the back. “Think of it as a melted organic chignon,” he says.
Just look at the texture and the dazzle! First he used Bumble’s “Does it All” to thoroughly treat and texturize the hair. “It gives the hair great hold,” says Laurent. Then he applied the BB Gel (see picture below) to give that lacquered viscosity to the hair. He secured the chignon with bobby pins.
As you can see from the finished look below–tres chic!
The nails were painted in Essie’s nude shade called Patinko Pale. “Chaddo loves that color and that sheer look,” says a manicurist.
