Milan fashion week has come to an end, and just as quickly another mega fashion event has gone into full swing across the pond, in the city of love, rats, and some would say the very best style the streets has to offer. Keeping up with the tsunami of fashion and beauty trends from each city can give you whiplash, but we’re here with our midweek round of the beauty trends making the rounds this PFW…
Side Partings At Courreges
Side partings are back in a big way (sorry Gen Z) and we’re just glad we’re here to witness it. Models at Courreges strutted down the runway in the controversial style and looked effortlessly cool and glam, could this be the biggest hair shift of the year?
Sweating Glitter at Anne Isabella
Glitter has made quite a name for itself over the past two years, and that shows absolutely no sign of stopping as we enter the new season. Models at Anna Isabella walked the runway with shifting highlights generously placed around their eyes and nose – that’s certainly one way to stand out this fall!
Androgenous Cuts At The Row
We knew suits regardless of gender is officially in, but from the scenes at The Row, so are androgynous cuts! Models walked Mary Kate and Ashley’s runway in jaw-enhancing cuts, and proved that a masculine haircut can still be extremely glam and effeminate with the right styling.
Dark Glitter Eyes At Dries Van Noten
As we’ve mentioned, glitter is back, but you don’t need to douse yourself in it to accomplish the look. The models at Dries Van Noten walked the SS23 catwalk with oily, sparkly eyeshadows in blues and yellows and had a far grungier look than what we are used to.
Raw Beauty At Cecilie Bahnsen
It wouldn’t be Paris fashion week without models with perfect skin absolutely glowing down a runway with what seems like only a little bit of chapstick on. The natural glam look has been making waves recently, and the youthful look was spotted most notably at Cecile Bahsen.
Waves at Acne Studios
Beach ready waves were seen across Acne Studios SS23 show, from long beachy waves to short, bleached waves. The style was genderless, and definitely gave off a devil-may-care vibe. After all, you never want to seem like you’re trying too hard in Paris.
Oil Slick Hair
Gold Features at Balmain
Balmains hair and beauty were understated this season, in favour of gold features which set them apart from the other shows. Gold piercings were seen from start to finish, with models glowing slightly as they caught the light. This is definitely an edgier alternative to the gold trend we’ve been seeing pop up recently, and you don’t even need to have your nose pierced to accomplish it.
Big Hair At Rocha
Big hair is back (was it ever really gone). 80’s crimped hair pinned to the side or worn loosely was quite the spectacle at Rochas Paris fashion week show, and contrasted beautifully against the elegant gowns. Bold, berry lips were also on trend – as they were at Milan Fashion week – so make sure to find your old MAC lip from your Tumblr days.
