Rabanne's makeup, born to shock, debuted on the Paris catwalk with a calm version of itself, radically inspiring for everyday life. Diane Kendall, his creative director, adjusted to Julien Dossena's seams so that eyes would not stray from the designs that dressed golden Amazons and powerful galactic emperors. It is the magic of an art that he knows how to accompany and highlight when necessary.
Kendall, the ideologist of a refined, bold and diverse vision of what beauty can be, opted for transparent and well-cared for skin that, rather than trying to hide freckles with powder and foundation, values them as an emblem of what makes us unique.
Versatile mascaras and shadows, lip balms and lipsticks that also look luxurious giving color to the cheeks. Diane Kendall, with the background of having been one of the incipient trendsetters of London in the nineties, has extensive experience in the creative direction and development of makeup lines that dialogue with fashion (Zara, to name a few) . With Rabanne Makeup, a commitment to high-performance formulas, metallic finishes, objects with an accessory vocation and brilliant proposals such as Shimmer Bomb, a mist for face and body with an illuminating effect, creativity, art and pragmatism play tic-tac-toe that never fails . The most extreme graphics and textures coexist with everyday makeup capable of putting on a good face without rushing the clock.
Julien Dossena's latest collection recreates a mirage where myths and artifacts that endure collide with dreamed stories, where reality blurs with the illusory. The woman is fearless and goes through time adorning and revealing the body at her will. Traditional garments such as sarouel pants, folded scarves, draped skirts and shorts are reinterpreted and embellished with geometric metallic embroidery, metallic fringes and laces.
Raw, rustic fabrics interact with elaborate beading, while loose gold threads suggest a state of beautiful decadence. In a parallel universe, sharply tailored jackets sport gathered fronts, low-cut waists are worked from different angles, and sagging pants denote an attitude reminiscent of shocking '90s grunge. Faced with this power, the look of the show bets everything on a sumptuous mascara and a duo of shadows that you want to wear around your neck, belt and bag.
Screen prints that realistically capture lights and shadows, liquid metal meshes, assemblages of burnished wood discs and peacock feathers, sculptural hardware that provides a mystical touch in forehead pendants, belts made up of shiny spheres or enhanced sandals with rock crystals... Faced with an impressive display of finishes and decorations, the lips remain sealed with what will be one of the beauty essentials when the cold finally arrives: an insolent lip balm that goes beyond mere protection.
Smart textures serve to cover more than one front. The kings of Diane Kendall's backstage for the Rabanne show are a trio of lipsticks that range from peach to pink, which pass with flying colors their strict function of sublimating the color of the lips, providing them with hydration, protection and shine to stand out when applied. apply to the cheekbones as blush. They blend with the skin in harmony and make the necessary touch-ups when the day is long easier than ever. And without overloading the bag.
