Vivienne Tam- The New Silk Road.

Impeccably polished hair and makeup was also traded in for elegantly disheveled hair and road-worn makeup. The goal, described by head makeup artist Charlotte Willer (Maybelline), was to create a look that suggested the girl had actually been travelling the Silk Road. In order to achieve this look of being “a little dirty or dusty” in a way that went beyond simply “beach chic”, bronzer was actually applied to the faces of the models with an old argyle sock!

The show’s audience was also star-studded: spotted in the front row was actress Denise Richards and tennis superstar Serena Williams. Pre-show I also noticed a group of photographers swarming around someone else in the front row whom I didn’t recognize. “Wow”, I thought, “she must be really important if people are swarming her rather than Denise Richards and Serena Williams!” I later found out it was former Playboy playmate and ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner Kendra Wilkinson, which was slightly disappointing. I was, furthermore, disturbed to see her talking to an impressionable young girl of probably 7 or 8 who was asking her about “what she did to get famous”. Yikes! (I was also asked just before the show by a publicist to take a picture of her client, who turned out to be Chyna Layne, which wouldn’t have been nearly as awkward as it was if her publicist hadn’t offered a clearly rehearsed and well wrought out explanation that Layne was picture-worthy because she had been a minor character in the film Precious. Someone is milking their Fifteen Minutes…)
