Le Musée Rodin in Paris played host to Dior’s Spring / Summer Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week on Monday.
Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup, created two different looks to accompany a contemporary silhouette with either a strong black eye, or a fiery red lip.
“This diaphanous beauty displays eyes emphasized with black eyeliner combined with a nude lip, while some models put in appearances displaying scarlet lips set against a flawless complexion,” he explains.
“Only a few groups of models, in the middle and at the end of the show, wore an intense shade of red lipstick. The idea was to create a “coup de Trafalgar” and revive the memory of the red looks thus named by Christian Dior, who would send these flamboyant designs out in the middle of a show to take the audience by surprise.”
