Fashion week grunge has been hard to miss. Things we can only fancy on the runways and not in daily procedures were exhilarating this season. What was it? Bathing in glitter, towering spiked hair pieces, models morphing into spaced-out glamour zones. Milanèse geared up teaming up with international beauty experts to create these cutting-edge glimpses.
Gender-free fashion got amplified in a bevy of doozy hair and make-up feats. From icy blue skin illumination at Diesel to fluffy eyelashes at Prada. Check out the grunge of goth mixed in glitter, which took fashion week aesthetics to new elevations.
Alien Sheen
Make-up artist Inge Gronard coated bodies in a blue skin of glittery shiny body paint and the iridescent
dusting turned Diesel’s runway into life-sized icicles. Smurfs turned fashion models with deconstructed
denim grunge. For a second the make up mastery of masking got everyone confused when drag queen
Alexis Stone used custom prosthetics to transform into Jennifer Coolidge from white lotus. It was
uncanny her smile and body type in a metallic silver Diesel denim top and jacket with a matching bag.
Shaking her wavy blonde locks and grinning at the camera almost made the fictional characters real.
Fluffy Feathery Eyes
Prada challenged the make-up guru Pat McGrath for her unconventional creativity. Brand’s “rediscovery of
beauty” pushed the description for models as if they could take flight in wispy, feather lashes. She applied
fluffy, powder-coloured falsies to upper lids, and the effect on the runway looked striking in contrast with
bare skin faces.
Emo Eyes and Glass Skin Grunge
Blood, Sweat, Tears and Drips; nothing feels as good as salt tastes. The Sob Session effect from heartache
and late-night ruins, shows the state of youth wearing messy liners with grungy shadows as badges of
vulnerability, signalling to the rest of their peers. Planet warriors giving a pep speech of “Don't worry,
we’re all going through this together” there's a tactful beauty in accepting this dark truth. At MM6 Maison
Margiela, eye makeup was outfitted in the smudgy, black liner that drooped down the cheeks, as if they
had a good cry. Adding oily hair left open, resulting in stingy, greasy, and all-together grungy locks.
Spiked Scalps
Jeremy Scott is a good reminder of what we missed with the loss of Vivienne Westwood. Glam punk goes
had hair touching sky-high effect with long extended spikes. Courtesy of Paul Hanlon, spiky sabres of jet
black hair butter out of models' heads from sharp arches. Individually created a blade of hair into each
hair piece needs to be documented soon in detail.
Gothic Ghost Glam
Aniye Records proudly created “Gothic Ghost” glam in this recent collection. Korean glass skin with buzz-
cut blonde and undone sticky hair. Pale eyes with ruffled frills and white eyeshadows created the glam
of ghosts. Brand's DNA shows the black blood effect through their buzzard and bat aesthetic. ‘Red Hair
Dont Care’ was setting the dead tone with feminine silhouettes and hard rock effects. Silver jewellery
brings out its dark effects on ruffles and frills. It was a combination of Coquette's aesthetic taking a gothic
turn into the freedom of evil pride in it.
There is a symphony in chaos and the darkness has its own allure. This beauty makeover is inspiring makers
and leaders to convert unconventional beauty and shift towards defining the grey of goodness. We call it the
after-effect of global warming or beauty experts experimenting with their creative freedom. The goodness of grunge will be here to stay. Boldest beauty looks and make-up expansions pushed the boundaries to change the definition.
