Perhaps it’s the English eccentricity in me, but I do love it when fashion gets quirky and whimsical, and generally takes a bit of a risk.  I have therefore chosen two shows from RAFW which really stood out for me for their WOW factor and get my vote for outstanding hair and make-up. First up is Alice McCall’s “butterfly bohemia”, where models were branded with neon eyes, created using punchy M.A.C pigments carefully applied by hand.

My second vote goes to the wonderfully talented Ellery, who opted for full-on gliteratti with rhinestone studded arms and spanglydescent faces: think David Bowie meets Ke$ha. Not your everyday make-up vibe, but I hope you’ll agree that it’s a welcome change from the au-naturale image of recent runway looks?
