За кулисами в Дакс, Лондонская неделя моды SS15

With 120 years in heritage fashion, Daks took to the only venue befitting for such an occasion for their SS15 show – The Royal Opera House. There was a whole air of calm and grace, much like there would be for a ballet performance, over the entire backstage area. As you can hopefully see in my photos – the setting was just sublime. Absolutely beautiful.

Opting for muted lilacs and parma violet shades mixed in with blues, Daks made a new modern ballgown. As the gentle, etherial fabrics glided down the runway, the whole thing had almost a metallic feel to it, and it was reflected in the makeup. Maria Comparetto for MAC Cosmetics headed up the team, and she opted for a Grace Kelly inspired fifties makeup, but in a new fresher way.

Using really fresh, beautiful highlighted skin, Maria used the MAC Strobe Cream to really bring out an inner glow. The lips were Sakura Lip Gloss which I absolutely adored, and they were using Humble eyeshadow as a contour. With Luke Hersheson for L’Oreal Professionel on hair, he mixed together the style of a fifties teddy boy with a slight hint of a quiff, and almost old hairdressing styles to make a baroque inspired back updo. I really loved the mix of toughness meets luxe, and he described the back of the hair to me as “neither a plait, nor a bun. Don’t read into it too much.” So relaxed, yet so easy to recreate and style up yourself at home!

All in all, perhaps a slight diversion from the usual Daks style for the regular customer, but with the 120 celebrations onboard it simply had to be something stunning, and boy did they pull it off. Chiffon met ruffles, and pastel met romantic fabrics for a grown-up ball gown attire. The entire look together felt like a dream. This is the new evening wear, Daks style.

And there you go! For me, Daks was one of the most soft/wearable makeup looks. What do you think of the Daks show at Fashion Week?
