Behind the scenes at the Jimmy Choo Academy’s latest show, Reflections, the backstage buzzed with artistic fervour as beauty teams crafted looks under the expert guidance of Mandy Gakhal and Narad Kutowaroo, the show’s hair and makeup leads. Amid the hum of brushes and styling tools, models were transformed into embodiments of the show’s theme—introspection and innovation.
The beauty aesthetic captured a harmonious balance of minimalism and impact. Model’s skin radiated with a fresh, dewy glow, achieving a flawless, clean finish that exuded modern elegance. Brows were sculpted naturally but given just enough definition to frame the face with subtle strength. Eyes were understated, with lashes gently coated in mascara for a soft, fluttery effect that whispered sophistication.
The look’s pièce de résistance was the red lip, a statement of empowerment and confidence. Precisely applied to a natural lip line, the vibrant shade provided an audacious pop of colour, commanding attention on the catwalk and perfectly complementing the show’s minimalist yet striking aesthetic.
Beyond the artistry of beauty, the event itself celebrated the fusion of fashion and innovation. This collaboration underscores JCA’s unwavering commitment to nurturing the next wave of trailblazing talent, blending artistic vision with a robust foundation in entrepreneurial education. Together, JCA and Berkeley’s St James Group are reshaping the landscape of fashion education, equipping designers to revolutionize the industry and drive impactful change.
As the models took to the runway, they brought to life not just garments, but the transformative power of artistic ambition and the Academy’s vision for the future of fashion.
