Aurora Fashion Week, Arsenicum.
lookatme.ru
You know, there are sometimes high fashion/runway looks that are actually flattering and wearable but at the same time very risky and alienish. That’s the exact words with which I would like to describe the runway looks of Russian couture house (may be it’s big words but that’s to what extend I like the clothes they are making) Arsenicum. Dmitri Loginov, the creative director behind the brand, brought into being cream hair heavily covered with gouache, bleached eyebrows, pale faces, extreme lash extensions and bright pink blush across the cheek bones of the models transforming them into elegant out-of-this-planet creatures. In combination with all black ( with occasional fur trims and colorful hair bands, if you can actually call them that way) outfits, the collection became very graphic, very chic and very wearable. I think that the “gouached” hair set up the entire collection, to me it was the main element which made the runway memorable and recognizable among other shows during Aurora Fashion week in St Petersbourg. I am not sure, I will reproduce their cream hair look any time soon, but it gave an idea of what my next Halloween costume will look like! Thumbs up for Arsenicum!
