Ennio Capasa talks about the latest collection he has designed for Costume National. “It’s kind of pop-chic inspiration that mixes the essential nature of the brand with the euphoria of Andy Warhol-type pop art. The results are fluid with essential shapes and forms to caress the female body, highlighting and enhancing women’s beauty with full and strong colours.”
The entire fashion show seen from behind the curtains: the final details being sorted, catwalk trials, last moments before the start, photographs and Ennio Capasa’s crew.
All the charge, emotion and tension of back stage. The catwalk trials, the lights, blacks and whites, the smiles, the manicures, make-up.
Warm air.
The final moments before the girls come out. The packed venue, friends, hugs and embraces and the final touches while the models are lined up ready to go.
Darkness.
Light.
Music.
They’re off!
The photographers, the TV cameras, the reporters.
The first models come back in. They change in a rush. Flashes and flurries of confusion.
Check out the batch of photos shot backstage at the Paris Costume National Fashion Show: the models being made up by their make-up artists, hair stylists on the job, the press office busy with last-minute problems and things to organize, the reporters as they make notes and then there’s Lyne Desnoyers – the well-known make-up artist who talks about the make-up choices for the parade.
A round-up of pictures from Costume National’s showroom.
