BACKSTAGE| T.Lipop Vs Asger Juel Larsen

Backstage at Asger Juel Larsen, there’s an ominous feel to the models. With hollowed sculpted cheeks, and dark heavy lidded eyes, the makeup is deliciously romantic-gothic in it’s look. With an almost androgynous edge, the hair is oil slicked down allowing the makeup to take centre stage. Described as a ‘look of hunger’, the entire style conformed with Asger’s vampiric inspired makeup, making for a stunning fashion overall.

T.Lipop’s models were all ready to go when they arrived at Vauxhall Fashion Scout as the designer has already presented his collection this London Fashion Week, earlier today. The inspiration behind this season’s look was ‘Scott of the Antarctic’. T. Lipop’s stylist, Bill, explained, “ We wanted everything to look frozen”, so beards, moustaches and eyebrows were whitened using an innovative concoction of milk powder and water to give the impression of an “Artic blast”. The hair was also made to look a little dirty and in keeping with the 1930’s era waxes were used to push back the hair. The skin was matt but rouge was applied to give rosey red cheeks and evoke the severe cold.

Sneak- Peak: Asger Juel Larsen at Copenhagen Fashion Week

Asger Juel Larsen closed the second day of Copenhagen Fashion Week in style..

Last week, the Denmark born fashion designer showed his AW12/13 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Larsen, who is known for his gothic androgyny and mixture of historical and futuristic influences presents a collection of  intoxicating medleys- a blend of the past and the future, taking inspiration from historical events and fusing it into a futuristic sci-fi sphere.

We don’t want to spoil what is to come from the designer at this February's LFW, but  there are some truly amazing things to come... we were blown away by Asger’s use of asymmetrical zips, maroon velvets and tailored trews teamed with sharp collars. Not forgetting the Russian fur hats beautifully balanced upon the model’s heads.

Winner of VFS’s Men’s One to Watch two seasons ago, Asger Juel Larsen is returning to Vauxhall Fashion Scout this season in collaboration with fellow OTW winner T.Lipop at London Fashion Week at Freemason’s Hall, Covent Garden on Wednesday 22^nd February at 6.45pm.
