It’s not until you’ve been set a task of recording the looks and trends you notice from a runway show you realise that if you blink, you really do miss it. When you pay attention to the front row you can see people frantically scribbling away or tapping away on their phones.
One thing I noticed in my own notes, is that after the first few different designers I had stopped writing mini sentences and just wrote down key words instead. I found that less is more when it comes to taking notes quickly. If you pick the correct words it will define each designer.
Overall the trends that carried through each designer were dewy, fresh looking skin and centre parted hair. For wet look, slick back hair.

I found it quite an enjoyable process. I like having to work quickly. It means you really have to be paying attention to detail in short window of time. I noticed that a lot of other people were paying attention to the actual fashion, I guess this is something that I should bear in mind for next time. I did pay attention to some of the accessories as I feel as though they are more likely to trend in the beauty industry than say the clothes. It is more likely that hats and hair accessories that appear on a catwalk will filtered down through to beauty industry. This means hair styles will change accordingly to what is popular. While every designers’ clothes were really different I found it really interesting that the make-up looks were very similar as a whole. With a few exceptions of matte skin or a statement lip, there was an overall theme of dewy and natural looks. I think this is due to how make up has trended over the last couple of years. It’s been very focused on full coverage and matte skin, fully dressed brows and statement lips. Now the look is fresh skin almost how your skin looks after you’ve taken all of the make-up off and you’ve just finished your skin care routine.
