Prada Fall/Winter 2012/13 | First Look | Milan Fashion Week | FashionTV (by fashiontv)
MILAN - FashionTV has your behind-the-scenes look at the Prada show during Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012-2013.
The colorful makeup look on models like Natasha Poly and Kinga Rajzak is on display for all to see and FashionTV has the highlights on what Makeup Artist Pat McGrath did to get it on the girls. (0:25) “It’s a very strong makeup,” she says, “We’re doing virtual princesses.” She calls it a kind of unreal look. The look is a strong black eye with orange in the eyebrows, and purple and black under the eyes with white accents. It really is “an amazing new eye this season.”
Hairstylist Guido Palau also referred to virtual beauties when he was designing the hair look based on what designer Miuccia Prada wanted for the collection. (1:33) “It’s the idea of perfection in a kind of animated way,” he says. The look is simple but colored pieces give it some life. It’s an idea of a computer drawing of hair.
W Magazine Editor-In-Chief Stefano Tonchi calls this season’s collection “quintessential Prada” and says it spells out to him the ABCs of Prada. What are the ABCs of Prada? Structure, ornament and prints. Model Madison Hedrick feels blessed and honored to be walking in Prada during her first season on the runway. (2:59) There’s almost a cartoonish and an Oriental element to all the pieces from the massive prints to the cinched waists, to the slightly clown-inspired flatforms.
