Minimal modernism is a clean, confident look; simple silhouettes with strong, graphic lines to create bold modern shapes

Hair takes two directions; long and sleek or short and upbeat. Bold in colour and styled with integrity. Controlled texture gives a gamine edge with soft, playful hint of the 1960’s. Steely hues in champagne are applied in single processes to bring an almost ethereal feel to the finish.

The autumn/winter 2006/07 catwalks sent out a sombre march of muted palettes and a general feeling of aesthetic restraint. Intelligent styling delivers drama without the crisis; slim leg black trousers and voluminous cotton shirts. Key style directions come from Giles Deacon and Comme Des Garcons.

Make-up is buffed and flawless. The use of eyeliner in a clear, graphic way mirrors the lines of the catwalk. A flash of colour on the lips completes this statement of supreme confidence and female allure.
