Spring 2021 Backstage Beauty Trends Tick New Boxes
Today’s new normal is a misnomer in every sense. Take the recent spring 2021 women’s ready-to-wear fashion season in Europe. While a few brands braved real-life catwalks, most opted to display their collections in virtual presentations.
For sure, some traditional beauty trends bubbled up there, like bold lips, slicked-back hair and no makeup-makeup, but there were also some newer tendencies on the rise.
“Beauty is not only about reality, but also about fantasy,” said star hairstylist Guido Palau, during a press conference.
He noted, too, that the events of the year have had a big impact on the season’s runways. When asked the three words or moods of the season, Palau answered, “diversity, inclusion and personality.
“Now there is no one particular idea of beauty, but many,” he continued. “The ideal of perfection has so changed nowadays. Since there is no social idea that one [look] is better than the other, people can be more expressive.”
In fact, the real and fantastical worlds collided head-on for spring. Here’s a look at some of what that mash-up birthed.
