The Making of my Catwalk Look

When deciding what to do for my catwalk day and night looks I decided to incorporate the lace used in their current spring/summer 16 design but instead make it a statement piece attached to the model's hair and face.

This piece I created was made using different types of lace cut and sewn to make a religious looking crown.

 Boning will be added to the middle and the sides to keep it looking structured making it more secure, a small elastic band will be added also to the back of the piece to secure it at the back of the head which will then be covered with the remaining hair.

I tried out a plait today with this piece pinned into place to see how the hair would look pulled away from the face. The plait worked and my model's face looked more elegant with the hair away from the face so I decided to try a waterfall type plait as plaits are very much a trend at the moment with braids being a real focal point in these past coming months.

This was the result (would be much neater) but I feel that this look reinforces the idea that we are all linked and that love is one thing that is in all of us which Riccardo Tisci wanted to represent in his show 'love is everything'.

As the lace piece is the main focal point the make-up look is very irredecent and has an angelic element to it with highlighted, dewy skin with the Givenchy Illuminating powder with wet look eyes.
