Carmen of course! I remember first working with him and wearing his fashions when I was
working at MTV. The inspiration really started in Istanbul ... it's just an amazing city.
It's mosaics, it's tiles, it's art. It started out using tiles as the motifs but they became
warriors. So she's a warrior she can't have messy hair .. the bangs .. she hacked them
off herself with her sword. She's a pony. She's a rider. Ponytail is perfect. Makeup
is stunning and strong and a little bit exaggerated. Beautiful, glowing skin. A little bit of a
cheek, a super neutral almost gray mouth and then what you really see is this double liner,
and super shiny shadow on the lids and then a highlighted face. And of course the nails
have to be pewter. It's called Metalling Around and it's gunmetal with a nice light reflecting
quality in it yet still soft enough to be feminine. It's very black. I wanted a black
space. I wanted lights just to emerge. It's black, midnight, pewter, a little steel .. a
little silver .. a flash of persimmon.. and a flash of blue but for the most part we did
an extremely dark palette. Sometimes it's leather, sometimes it's kind of three dimensional,
I love the way he makes it romantic.
