Glam Rock Makeup From Alectra Rothschild’s ‘Masculina’ Runway
Next on our beauty radar is the electrifying glam rock makeup from Alectra Rothschild’s powerful show, “Masculina.” Titled “You Are Wasted Here, You Are a Star,” the show made a bold statement about the societal position of trans people, declaring their undeniable brilliance despite a world that fails to fully appreciate them. “You are wasted in this world because we are not appreciated for all that we are. WE ARE STARS,” said Rothschild in an interview with Odalisque Magazine.

This fierce message was brought to life with an equally bold makeup look by the talented Dausell. The electric makeup, reminiscent of the iconic glam rock style of Kiss, also drew inspiration from queer makeup culture. The designer’s vision extended beyond just the runway, reflecting the intimate and transformative moments of putting on makeup with friends, whether before a night out or in the afterglow of returning home.

Hairstyle
One noticeable trend that emerged from the runway was the prevalence of natural, effortless hairstyles. Whether it was wind-swept locks, natural afros, ‘just-rolled-out-of-bed’ textures, or sleek center parts, these looks seemed to dominate the shows. This emphasis on authenticity and minimalism aligns perfectly with the aesthetic often associated with Copenhagen Fashion Week, where the beauty of simplicity takes center stage.

Models graced the runway with hair styled to appear freshly wet, adding a touch of sophistication and drama to their overall appearance. This look, with its glossy finish, perfectly complemented the bold, modern designs of the collection, emphasizing a powerful, contemporary aesthetic.”
