Similar to his affinity for daring fashion looks,Alexander Wang isn't precisely one to play it safe when it comes to the beauty looks he features in his fashion shows. However, while we would have guessed that the models in his recent SS17 fashion prove would be sporting some intense eye makeup or an impossible-to-imitate hairstyle like they have in preceding years, or Wang had lead hairstylist for Redken Guido Palau and lead makeup artist for NARS Cosmetics Diane Kendal create one of the simplest,yet undeniably cool, looks we've seen emerge from NYFW thus far.
In preparation for the prove, and most of the models - 18 to be exact - bleached their hair and eyebrows,as well as cut their hair into a tousled, cropped shag. No wigs were used on any models. "I wanted the peek to be very beachy, and so we kept all the hair super dry and wavy," explains Palau. "I drew the inspiration from those Californian skater-surfer boys and gave the girls a boyish element with sun-bleached hair that looks tangly from days spent in the sun and salt." (Kendall Jenner opted out of this this makeover and walked the runway with her signature brunette strands.)While the hair was super texture-y and bright, the makeup was much more low-key. "We wanted to keep the skin really fresh with a slight sun-kissed peek, or " explains Kendal. To execute this,she left the eyes totally bare, muted the lips with a stick concealer, or applied NARS Cosmetics The Multiple in Portofino and Altai ($39 each) for that "just out of the sun" appearance. While we're fond all the fun looks coming from other shows during NYFW,Alexander Wang's beach babe style is certainly one of our favorites so far.
