Pastels, pastels, pastels were on the menu at Louis Vuitton's candy coloured paradise. With the hors d'oeuvre being fluffy, pink lace dresses, and the centre piece of the table being a huge carousel - paris' largest in fact. and who was the guest of honour? None other than Kate Moss, stealing the show with a finale walk, wearing one of Vuitton's floaty lace gowns. The dress was a symbol of purity - a heavy contrast to the black, lace up boots she wore at the last show she walked for Louis Vuitton. Will this dress be one of the best selling items for the label, like last time? i do expect so, as a pioneer of the pure, white lace trend, I hope it takes off as well as both of those did, and anything modelled by Moss is bound to sell well, as she is one of the most successful models of the moment.
The fun fair has hit the nail on the head with one of spring and summer's biggest trends - pastels. From pastel nails, to pastel dresses and pastel accessories, everything is looking bright this spring, Vuitton too is undergoing a transformation. The seasons have changed, and so have they, making the transition between black leather and PVC, to lace and frills seem faultless. from darkness to light is clearly the message they're sending here, and I do hope that's a prediction for the weather, as well as a fresh start that comes with a fresh new year. We have certainly seen a turning point in the fashion calendar.
The beauty in the show was fresh faced, with nothing too over the top and dramatic, but the make up that I feel was inspired by the fun of the fair was the playful beauty at Meadham Kirchhoff. The brand used white wigs, neon pink lips and glitter (and lots of it!). The neon pink lips captivated everyone, and so did the drawn on pastel eyebrows. These geometric, colour blocked eyes created a sense of playfulness, and took me back to the days of my childhood, when I'd raid my mother's make up bag, and apply lipstick to every square inch of my face, in way that only young children can. These eyebrows managed to be playful, but perfectly executed (unlike my red face, or Ronald MacDonald lips), and they matched the outfits totally (which, by the way, were also totally out there, consisting of ostrich feathers, rhinestones and some intriguing glitter and plastic platforms).
If I predict one thing this season, it's fun. Break out of the doom and gloom that every winter brings, and go wild, embracing the new calendar and fashion season. even paint your eyebrows pastel blue. Yes, I agree that it's unlikely that you'll be seeing anyone walking round with such a beauty statement, but you never know... If I did see someone however, it certainly would brighten my day. Isn't that just what the doctor ordered in these days that are filled with recession? So go on, paint your eyebrows blue, for those of us who aren't brave enough to try.
