David Koma SS12

Fashion went a bit tribal-tastic at David Koma yesterday, but backstage the look was manipulated to include the metallic trend that has taken London by storm. Irridescent, see-through textures on the catwalk inspired hair and make up creations with a seriously futuristic theme, perfectly complemented by the daylight-strewn show space at the old Eurostar Terminal in Waterloo.

Skin was manipulated by Nicola Joss to create a shimmery, iridescent finish using St Tropez Silverrose Illuminator and just the faintest hint of spray tan. Makeup artist Mel Arter went for fresh, vibrant colours, inspired by glass, perspex and other reflective textures to create the illusion of bodies sugar coated and frozen in time. Eyes were lacquered in MAC Lipglass up to the brow bone, with the smallest of reflective blue glitter around the top lash line. Lips were washed-out using MAC Lip Erase, and (ironically) gloss-free.

Kenna for GHD re-created the positive and negative space between the paneling of the clothes using a patchwork of shiny and “natural” sections of hair. The look was completely symmetrical, adding to the futuristic vibe.

So it’s back to the future, then.
