Shiseido Beauty Report: Jacquemus SS17
Simon Porte Jacquemus never fails to astound his audience with his extraordinary, avant garde show concepts and design, and Paris SS17 was no different.
Jacquemus was unmistakably inspired his Provençal roots, with a nod to “Les Santon”, the tiny terracotta nativity scene figurines produced in the afore-mentioned region of southeastern France, of which he used as a main reference for the clothing & textures.
All at once, gentle, romantic and powerful, the collection showed womanly shapes with the signature Jacquemus twist.
To complement the show garments and aesthetic, Shiseido’s artistic director, Dick Page crafted a beautifully simple but captivating makeup concept.
The first thing you saw was perfect skin - clean, hydrated and fresh… and sun-kissed.
Sable was used on the eyebrows and they were brushed up but mostly kept natural.
Extra light from a mix of Kitsune & Garnet was added around the eyes using a soft fluffy brush, to brighten them up under the shadow of the beautiful hats used the collection.
A smudge of Benefiance Full Correction Lip treatment was added to the eyelids for moisture.
The lips were reddened using a mixture of the Rouge Rouge colors, applied with the soft brush for a faint soft red.
A small dab of red was added to brighten up just the middle of the lip, to imitate that of a small child.
Overall, the models appeared drenched in the southern French sun.
Dick Page used the following products:
Shiseido Eye Color in Sable, £21.50
Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Kitsune, £22
Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Garnet, £22
Shiseido Rouge Rouge in RD312, £23
Shiseido Rouge Rouge in RD713, £23
Shiseido Rouge Rouge in RD309, £23
Shiseido Benefiance Full Correction Lip treatment, £35

FENTY PUMA BY RIHANNA REVEALS SPRING/SUMMER ‘17 FIRST LOOKS IN PARIS
Rihanna, and global athletic brand PUMA, showed the fashion community the Spring/Summer 2017 FENTY PUMA by Rihanna Collection. The collection, available at retail next spring, takes inspiration from 18th century France during the time period of Louis XVI and fuses it with a street style vibe. In front of an intimate audience in the beautiful salons of Hotel Saloman de Rothschild and worldwide via the TIDAL X: RIHANNA livestream, guests and fans took in the exquisiteness and the edge of FENTY PUMA by Rihanna. Fresh, sporty, and ethereal, the FENTY PUMA by RIHANNA Spring/Summer 2017 is sure to shake up the fashion community once again.
“I am really excited about this collection as its very fun and light. Showing in Paris was the perfect backdrop as I pulled a lot of inspiration from France, Marie Antoinette and The Palace of Versailles specifically,” said Creative Director Rihanna. “Mixing athletic wear with regal touches was a challenge and I hope everyone loves the results. I cannot wait to wear this collection.”

Accessories bring out the feminine yet masculine juxtaposition of the 18th century with the Lace Mesh PUMA Cat Choker, the Bow Bag and the Lace Roll down bag (with a unique neck choker). The everyday baseball cap is no more as the FENTY PUMA by Rihanna hats feature engineered mesh, sneaker lace accents, PUMA cat lace masks, satin bandanas and oversized visors.
The collection wouldn’t be complete without shoes. Rihanna updates the iconic FENTY Sneaker Heel from Autumn Winter ‘16 with three new styles including a Slingback Sneaker Heel that artistically and practically uses PUMA’s signature formstripe as the strap. New shoes such as the Bow Sneaker express a fusion of sport and fashion. The Slide returns in two new executions: in Jelly and with a bow. Finally, Rihanna brings aggressive, new sneaker boots to round out the footwear range.
FENTY’s signature branding and design elements are consistent with the creative director’s first collection. From lucky number 13 to the piercing zipper puller, Rihanna’s branding vision stays true.
The Spring/Summer 2017 presentation was styled by Tom Van Dorpe of Management + Artists. Makeup provided by SEPHORA, led by SEPHORA PRO Myiesha Sewell. Hair styled and sponsored by Oribe Hair Care, led by Yusef Williams of Factory Downtown. Nail design and execution by Young Nails. Jewellery by Lynn Ban.
