Woman: Nathan, the looks in these shows, the blues and the warm tones
in the faces were absolutely beautiful. Can you tell us about your
inspiration and how you came up with the look?
Nathan: Well, Leanne and I have a relationship that is, I'm sure you
saw it downstairs. It's probably very different than I think most makeup
artists and designers. We work start to finish from the time she begins on
our collection so I kind of know it like the back of my hand. I started
seeing what she does.
I know Leanne's aesthetic from the beginning. I know that she likes
to work in architecture. She likes to work in shape. She likes everything
to feel beautiful and incredibly feminine. She wants a woman to feel like a
woman when she's in her clothes.
So, I want to design makeups that do a very special thing, but make
you feel very much like a woman, that never overpower you, make you feel
incredible and beautiful. On the runway you've got to add a special extra
thing to take it that extra mile.
Woman: Absolutely.
Nathan: So we started to work. That's why we worked the hard line in,
in the crease, because we really wanted to take and we really wanted to put
a hard edge on something that's otherwise very soft and feminine. So, like
her clothes, she's wearing her clothes and she's got an architectural drape
here.
Our line is like a mirror of the drape, where some of the folds that
fall at the top of the dresses. It mirrors, we work the design elements of
Leanne's collection into the makeup in a way that people who know what
they're doing say, 'I see.'
