BACKSTAGE| Zeynep Tosun FEB'13

Pre-show at Zeynep Tosun, and the sartorial mood is dark and demure; courtesy of the talented crew at Toni & Guy and The Body Shop.

Makeup is rich and glamourous, combining a dark smokey-eye with a rich, plum-coloured lip.  Eyebrows are defined, and add to the drama of the look as a whole. 

This was emphasised further by the smooth, swept back hair.  Despite being understated, the simplicity of the hair off-set the statement makeup look, and instated a feeling of complete sophistication.

BACKSTAGE| Lug Von Siga FEB'13

The hair and makeup look backstage at Lug Von Siga was the epitome of subtle, understated chic.  Hair was smooth and sleek; swept over in a side-parting, then fastened in a low-ponytail at the nape of the neck.  This sophisticated aesthetic was reflected in the makeup, which juxtaposed a clean base and a nude lip, with a statement smokey-eye.

BACKSTAGE| Dans La Vie Spring/ Summer '13

The morning of day one at LFW and the atmosphere is already bustling. Backstage at Dans La Vie, hands and hairpieces flew about the room in Freemason’s Hall as the hair and make up teams began to sculpt to the look for the 11.30 show.

Under the reigns of Toni and Guy’s International Artistic Director, Bill Watson, the hair team produced a strong, sleek look. Hair was tightly plaited down the centre of the head, starting from the forefront and slinking its way right down the backs of the models. Mirroring the vibrant hair seen in Dans La Vie’s A/W 12-13 collection, flashes of colour were present as dyed hairpieces in sapphire green, crimson and light blonde were woven into plaits.

The elongated braids harmonised with extended, elegant eyes. Statement black eyes sat on a simple base. The Body Shop’s make up team worked graphic black eye make up from the inner corners of the eyes and finished at the outer edge with a heavy flick. Airbrushing was used to create a geometric checkerboard effect across the faces of the models, nodding cohesively towards the checks incorporated within the Spring/Summer 13 collection. Nails remained understated and painted in nude to match the bare-look lips. Stay posted on the VFS blog to check out the entire look on the catwalk.
