BACKSTAGE BEAUTY: Revlon for KaufmanFranco Fall 2013

 

Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, paired bold smoky eyes with luminous skin to complement KaufmanFranco's Fall 2013 Collection.  What I love about this look is that anyone can wear this.  It's adaptable for everyday wear and not just runway-artistic.  Details from backstage at KaufmanFranco:

“I was inspired by Brigitte Bardot, and classic Parisian women from the 60’s, so this look is all about the eyes. ,” says Westman. “I combined smoky grey shadows with ultra heavy black liner and piled on extra lashes for a mysterious and sultry look. To contrast with the gritty texture on the eyes, I kept the girls skin soft and pretty and gave their lips a natural flush.”

In the September 2008 edition of Vogue magazine, the much-anticipated fall fashion issue, we're treated to a spread featuring the fair Miss K. Actress Keira Knightley explores Berlin's vibrant art scene in looks that reflect the capital city itself: cosmopolitan, forward-thinking, and übermodern. Makeup Artist Gucci Westman considers Knightley to be one of the few leading ladies In Hollywood who is truly down-to-earth and always present and involved with the shoot." Gucci used Chanel to enhance Keira's already beautiful facial canvas.

Symphony Space
Creative minds are ever pushing boundaries; both Keira Knightley's avant-garde heels and the steel forms in sculptural installation artist Katja Strunz's studio are like nothing we've seen before. Knightley stars in The Duchess, out this month. Prada bronze guipure-lace dress, black collar, Plexiglas necklace, bag, and shoes.

Spot Treatment
Sleek as a Fassbinder heroine, Knightley still exudes the trait the infamous cineaste sought in his leading ladies: highly stylized glamour. Michael Kors cheetah-print bolero and pencil skirt. Prada ginger lace blouse and silk-stretch collar. Valextra crocodile bag. Louis Vuitton platform wedges.

Heels!
Knightley learns just who's walking whom outside Neue Nationalgalerie, designed by Mies van der Rohe. Ralph Lauren Collection charcoal coat. Prada clementine guipure-lace skirt. Patricia Underwood for Ralph Lauren leopard-print beret. Louis Vuitton peep-toe pumps.

Portrait of a Lady
Knightley clutches a likeness of her by Munich-born artist Andreas Hofer in the artist's studio. Thakoon lime-and-black plaid chiffon dress. Andreas Hofer/Gabi Dziuba brooch. Marni belt. Carolina Amato gloves.

Exhibit A
Conceptual artist Anselm Reyle created both Knightley's antic headpiece and the bronze sculpture Untitled (foreground) in his studio. Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière black wool-crepe molded dress, strass necklace, bracelets, and d'Orsay stilettos.
