Elizabeth Emanuel and her label “ ART of BEING”
Iconic British fashion designer, Elizabeth Emanuel launched today after 10 years being off the catwalk. She showed her dedicated collection based on the little black dress. Beautiful ready to wear full of textures and various tones of black which can be worn day or dressed up for night. A stunning show with a star studded audience including:
Beverly Knight, Kate Nash, Sonique, Emma Noble, Colin Jackson, Trudie Styler, Amy Smart, Lady Suzanne Olivier, Keira Chaplin, Elizabeth Minnett, Matthew Mellon, Martine McCutcheon, Jo Woods, and Miss J Alexander were amongst the guests
Famous for designing Princess Diana wedding dress, throughout the 1990s Elizabeth designed exclusive dresses for Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Collins, Elizabeth Hurley, Jane Seymour, Jerry Hall, Twiggy, Ivana Trump, Anne Margret, Carolina Herrera, Drew Barrymore, Daryl Hannah, Charlize Theron, Dannii Minogue, Helena Bonham- Carter, countless films, theatrical productions and even re-designed the uniforms for two airlines.
So it was a privilege to be part of her show.
John Gallianos was the inspiration for the make up. Elizabeth told me she wanted her show to be couture make up. A showpiece! So during the test I blocked off the eyebrow and showed her how extreme we could go. High brows recreated like the 1920’s and strong graphic eyeliner. Eyelashes on top and bottom and strong red but matte lips were the key points. To modify the look we changed the eyebrows to a more 1940s style and rather than black we used a dark warm brown. Once all the girls were made up they looked womanly and doll like which gave sophistication to the way they portrayed themselves. By placing the blush under the eye and graduating it out wards in two toned pink it gave it a deconstructed feel with an edge.
