Retro Stylings with a Twist

Well it seems my favourite decade is back to influencing the trends at the moment; in particular the beauty section. Prada’s AW10 campaigns feature models with larger-than-life beehives in the style of Bridget Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Sophia Loren.





Although the ‘Swinging’ Sixties can be seen clearly influencing the hair trends of designers’ campaigns and catwalks at the moment, the makeup from that era has been refreshed and revamped to provide an updated version for the Noughties.



Bringing a new twist on the 1960’s glamour with more neutral eye makeup and gentler shades of lip colour; the signature crease of the eyelid is still visible but with a calmer approach to the bold lash lines seen on Twiggy and many other young girls at that time.






Looking into the future with NYFW week currently taking place for Spring Summer 2011 (already looking to next summer while many of us are still clinging to the demise of this year’s summer with last minute barbeques and holidays!) we see that these trends are predicted for next season too.



This video with Fabiola Beracasa for Elle TV backstage at the Preen NYFW for SS11 shows makeup artist James Kaliardos depicting the makeup of the catwalk as being very influenced by the 1960’s but with a Nineties hint of minimalism to provide a new fresh yet still glamorous image. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid57140912001?bctid=607587348001
