……………..The beautiful model…..Amber Valletta Is wearing FOUR garments to create a new sense of LAYERING……Starting with the signature silk blouse with the elongated pointed collar…then adding the sleeveless tank tunic with high front slit….worn over the shorts, and finally the BOLERO jacket to finish the look…..all in different weights of WOOL CREPE…..The black cap, the black gloves, the black tights and black ankle boots all help to bring focus to the outfit by covering the hair, and the bare skin of the hands and legs…..The faceted black glass jet pin provides the only distraction from the outfit I wanted…..It is important at this time to notice the MAKEUP….. The makeup artist, and I developed this “look” for the collection……I wanted a sort of retro 20s feel, but still modern. A thin brow gave the 20s look…The open eye, outlined in black, and black mascara against a pale but defined lid helped to accentuate the look…..A glossed crimson mouth looked luscious, and stood out …..The short bobbed wigs developed by the hair stylist, after lengthy conversations about the look I wanted. brought the look home…..Of course every model is different, and I didn’t want to take away from what their strongest features were….so some of the models I left with their long hair, but I kept it straight….Models like Amber, Simonetta, Shalom, Christy, Naomi and Tyra were able to wear the bobbed look. Others like Jac, Carla, Anna and Giselle already had short hair that could be styled in a way that still worked with the theme of the collection……We always tried to keep the makeup uniform on all models to make the “statement”.
