BACKSTAGE PASS

AS YOU KNOW, I RECENTLY ATTENDED THE MYER AUTUMN WINTER EDIT FEATURING A BEVY OF POWERHOUSE AUSTRALIAN LABELS SHOWCASING THEIR LATEST COLLECTIONS AT THEIR BOURKE STREET EMPORIUM. SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW, IS THAT BEHIND THE SCENES THE TALENTED KEVIN MURPHY & YVES SAINT LAURENT TEAMS WERE WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE THE GORGEOUS HAIR & MAKE UP LOOKS WHICH WE SAW SHIMMY DOWN THE CATWALK.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAD BACKSTAGE & MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE MODELS' SLEEK, SOPHISTICATED LOOK. THE SUSPECTS? NATASHA SEVERINO FOR YSL & THE KILLER COMBINATION OF NATHAN GORMAN & JAMES NICHOLSON FOR KEVIN MURPHY. THE INSPIRATION OF THE NIGHT? THE SWINGING SIXTIES. NATASHA CREATED A SHARP PRECISION MATT WINGED EYE WHICH SHE THEN JUXTAPOSED AGAINST A LUMINOUS, RADIATING SKIN BASE. SIMILARLY THE HAIR LOOK WAS INSPIRED BY THE SIXTIES ERA BUT INSTEAD OF CREATING A NOSTALGIC LOOK, MURPHY USED SELECT STYLE AESTHETICS FROM THAT PERIOD. HE HAS BROKEN THEM DOWN & MODERNISED THE IDEALS TO APPEAL TO THE POLISHED CONTEMPORARY WOMAN. ALL IN ALL A GORGEOUS LOOK WAS CREATED & THE MODELS LOOKED INCREDIBLE ON THE NIGHT.
