At Anna Sui, the Modern Vampire Spends All Night at the Club – Vogue

For a proper canvas, McGrath layered on her full Skin Fetish range, including Sublime Perfection Primer and Foundation, creating a dewy veil that would have been imperceptible if a few choice models hadnt been painted an intentionally spectral shade lighter. Some of our ladies are paled out for real vampire perfection, says McGrath. On upper lids, her Permagel Utlraglide Eye Pencil created a base for sparkling jewel-tone blue and green pigments from a range of PMG Labs shadow palettes to attach. Next, more liquid liner, then tons of mascara, all topped with theatrical sets of enormous XXL strip lashes. For lips, the shade of MatteTrance Lipstick called Full Blooded makes sense, especially when gently smudged and blurred around the edges for a deep stained effect. Vamp chic, she says, pointing out that its meant to be fun.

Hairstylist Garren, whos back-combing and hand-rolling models hair up into modern riffs on retro pompadours that Sui shared as her inspiration, echoes the emphasis on fun. Its like a club kid, he says of the intentionally cockeyed french hats of fluffy hair hes sculpting. Sui has made her gothic vamp intentions clear on her Instagram account as well, where shes been teasing the collection with stylized movie clips and footage from her own goth 90s runways. Garrens hair adaptation is meant to look less like someone walking out of a salon and more like someone walking into the depths of a basement rave. Fine lengths get a bit of grip with R+Cos Skyline Dry Shampoo Powder, while others are misted with R+Cos Trophy Spray that he designed for texture and shine. Its appropriate for Annas clothes, Garren notes of the final look. You wanna look cool, you dont wanna look like you went and had your hair done. Soon, the fuzzy, pinned-up styles will hover over patent shearling coats and butterfly-wing-printed dresses floating down the glowing catwalk. This is more clubby, its more for the chick today, he says. You could go out in this.
