great pics, Hanne, especially those of Max Azria and Peter Som.
I was waiting for you to start this but a couple days went by and I couldn't help myself.

Can we say Bond girl?
David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone were inspired by late 60s/early 70s James Bond, and Lancome artistic director Gucci Westman nailed it with the makeup.
She created the ultimate "windblown, glamorous, and tan" look with some of my favorite Lancome products. The updated 60s eye was achieved with the taupe and cream shades in the Color Design Makeup Artist Palette in Stylish Neutrals (a makeup bag staple if there ever was one), with liquid Artliner in Brown smudged into the lashline. Black and brown shadows were added at and just above the crease, with white shadow on the browbones. A coat of Cils Design Pro mascara was the finishing touch.
Cheeks were bronzy and healthy in Blush Subtil in Cappucine, and a peachy nude lip rounded out the look.
I just love this...it's fresh, new, and wearable. The eye is a bit smoky and sexy without being overpowering. Off to recreate for myself!
Makeup Review
Gucci Westman created a beachy organic palette for the spring Behnaz runway show. It was inspired by Behnaz's beach wedding ceremony and Brigitte Bardot.
Westman used Lancome's Star Bronzer in Bronze Dore, Magique Blush in Subtle Flush on the cheek bone and Magique Blush in Peach Melba placed in the center of the cheek for a quick rush of color.
The eyes were smudged using just Lancome's Artliner in Noir along with the Juicy Tube gloss in Pure.
The lippie look was achieved with Le Crayon Poudre Brow Pencil in Natural Blonde and a juicy tube gloss. The brow pencil is an unorthodox choice that works brilliantly. Westman layered the look with the same gloss she used on the eye, JT Pure gloss.
This creates a very bold yet light lip against tan skin.
It makes you want to relive summer all over again so you can wear this look.
.. Dick Page, Shiseido Artistic Director, in action backstage at the Zero+Maria Cornejo show last week.
He was going for an “outlandish look” to complement the collection’s bold colors and geometric shapes. With custom blended colors from Shiseido’s Yokohama Lab in Japan, Page added a slash of color to highlight pure skin and bring focus to the eyes.
When asked how this look could translate to everyday life, Page told us a swipe of white or cobalt blue liner across the lid would have the same effect without being too eccentric.
