Endeavor Inspire Create

This was another collaboration i was to do last year with the fabulous creative director and stylist Chiara Bianchino for her Absorb projects. it was incredibly rewarding and my favourite work to date. Once again i was given complete creative freedom to do my magic and with the great team on board (full credits on original vimeo link) we successfully crafted this fashion video piece. How the project came about was that i approached Chiara about wanting to do a UV makeup, something i had wanted to do for yrs now, chiara being as amazing as she is went straight into top gear and conceptualised the idea using themes of frenetic hyperactivity, psychological terrains and split personalities stemmed from Tokyo inspirations and neon extravaganza. to complement the idea i made fluro and metallic cutout cardboard shapes and constructed them using scrap-booking techniques to form 3Dimensional shapes, embellishing them with lashes to create further texture and using duo eyelash glue to adhere them to the face. with my trusty wolfe brother neon palette handy i was able to enhance and build on the the lips and eyeliner to create those final glowing touches. and of course long metallic false nails were a must! the design was inspired by Christian Dior runway looks done by only the best…Pat McGrath but it was important to make it my own and hence the push into a more sculptural and animated design. Was a great project to be involved in and a great opportunity to really push my self in my makeup Artistry skills. mind you this project wouldnt of been doable without the hard work of a big team of talent and some amazing models who know how to strut there stuff and pull some real quirky faces!! once again a great japenese punk tune so pump up the volume. enjoy all xx

i have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with the super talent creative director and my creative partner in crime Chiara Bianchino these last few months working alongside her for her Absorb projects. this was one of the fashion films we created last year, which was such a great project to be involved in and lots of fun! She gives me complete creative freedom which i love and i look forward to doing much more of this type of work and stretching creative boundaries. the makeup was created using strong dark contouring and freehand doodling with liquid liner to create the makeup designs. inspired by looks from John Galliano runway looks and Alex Box, my Makeup Hero. Enjoy. turn your volume up this tune rocks by Zola Jesus. A big thank you to Doran Lu for the fabulous hair and Lu Wang my wonderful friend and Assistant. rest of credits on the original Vimeo link.
