‘Slowly something is mounting, some more desire and excitement,’ Miuccia Prada said in her A/W 2021 post-show discussion with collaborator Raf Simons, and it’s certainly true that there was an enthusiastic undercurrent running through many of the beauty looks in the A/W 2021 shows.
The season’s helmet haircuts, body paint, face stickers, crayola colour palettes, goth extremism and other inventive takes on beauty, suggested a readiness to get playful, to experiment. Skincare and wellness dominated the conversation last year, but this season hints that there is ‘desire and excitement’ around the return to a bolder makeup.
