What’s spring without rain to awaken new life? In harmony with the season’s forecast, wet-look skin and hair appeared throughout the week. Standout moments included Eckhaus Latta’s “hyperreal skin” effect achieved through American Psycho-inspired face mask applications and Marrisa Wilson’s cascades of braids strung with clear beads to mimic raindrops. At Collina Strada, there was an array of serpentine braids so long that models tossed them over their shoulders. It was a similar story at PriscaVera, where intricate braids and loose side-slung ponytails swayed to and fro down the runway. Then, at LaQuan Smith, sleek, long, high ponytails were inspired by a horse’s lustrous mane.
Yes, skin is in. So much so that mini-facials were practically a prerequisite for backstage skin prep. At Khaite and Gabriela Hearst, skin-care expert Tata Harper’s handiwork was evident in the clear complexions achieved through mask treatments and supercharged hydrated. At Fendi and Altuzarra, glowing complexions with a glass-like finish were enhanced minimally with warming swishes of bronzer or blush and strategically strobed highlighter for sculpted shine. There was no shortage of bright pastels, fitting for the season. At Prabal Gurung, there were graphic eye treatments and Vidal Sasson–style hair looks in lavender and seafoam green, while at Marni, faces were dipped in a gradient of sky-inspired shades to ombré effect. Finally, A. Potts and Maryam Nassir Zadeh challenged ordinary color placements with powdery pigments washed between the eyebrows and across the forehead in a painterly fashion.
