Cloaked in mystery and shadow, the Alexander Wang Fall 2013 beauty look once again proved to be futuristic and enigmatic (who could forget the secret makeup looks from last season—bleached brows and heavy highlighter on just a few of the girls).
For fall, the designer left the hair and makeup up to hairstylist Guido Palau and makeup artist Diane Kendal. "Alex didn't really have anything in particular that he was influenced by," said Kendal. "He just liked the idea of playing with shadow on the eye. He liked the idea of making the eyes quite hooded." Kendal used matte cream gray and charcoal shadow to achieve that. She gave the skin a sheer veil of coverage and applied lip balm to the lips.
For Palau, the hair was heavily influenced by the main Wang girl herself, Irina Kravchenko. "She's my new favorite model right now," he said. "I wanted the red to be just like hers." The red in question was a long, straight copper ponytail that Palau's team attached to the model's own hair after slicking it back with gel (a move that proved to be a dilema for the Altuzarra hair team to work with when the girls went there next). The affect was "an extreme ombré," said Palau.
While Palau was describing the hair, a few stray models walked into the area after rehearsal, the ponytail in question jutting out from gray and black hoods worn tight against their skulls. "We're not talking about those!" he exclaimed before turning the inspiration board around, and hiding the images of a few girls donning the hoods.
It seems Wang just can't help himself when it comes to surprises.
