Eckhaus Latta AW19 Beauty Vaquera Make-up Emi Kaneko, hair Cyndia HarveyPhotography Christina Fragkou This season Vaquera asked themselves what happens when furniture meets fashion? The beauty looks were inspired by fanciful regency styles, merging chaotic bed head hair by Cyndia Harvey with glossy lined lips and subdued white eye make-up created by Emi Kaneko. Vacquera AW19 Beauty Gauntlett Cheng Make-up Marcelo Gutierrez, hair NeroPhotography J'Dee Allin At Gauntlett Cheng dark eye make-up by Marcelo Gutierrez and bedhead hair by Nero gave models that end-of-the-party-haven’t-been-home-in-a-few-days vibe. Gauntlett Cheng AW19 Beauty Tomo Koizumi After being discovered on Instagram by Katie Grand, Tomo Koizumi presented a collection of new and archival pieces in New York. The designer’s first catwalk show saw beauty heavyweights Guido Palau and Pat McGrath creating jagged baby fringes and dramatic, metallic purple eyeshadow looks to accompany the fantastical tulle creations that were sent down the runway on the likes of Bella Hadid, Rowan Blanchard and Gwendoline Christie. Christian Cowan Fluoro-hued frocks at Christian Cowan this season were accompanied by extreme make-up dreamed up by the brain of Isamaya Ffrench. Divine-esque glittering eye make-up, neon wig caps, and nails by the always amazing Mei Kawajiri, came together to create an electric look. Anna Sui Christened as her “Poptimism” collection, models this season at Anna Sui wore technicolour wigs inspired by iconic French actress Anna Karina’s wedding day hair, while Pat McGrath created a vibrant and multi-coloured 60s inspired make-up look. R13 Extensions were super-sized at R13’s grungy AW19 show which was inspired by thrift shop finds and Kurt Cobain. The long, messy styles were the work of hairstylist Guido Palau while make-up artist Diane Kendal created a look that was radically minimal.
