Watch our exclusive Alexander McQueen Fall 2012  backstage beauty video with makeup artist Peter Philips, hair stylist Guido Palau. This Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 collection designed by Sarah Burton was breath taking and magical and it looked like a haute couture collection. The Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 show was bold, futuristic and outer-worldly beautiful.

Hair stylist Guido Palau explained the look was manga inspired, “the feeling of the show is that beautiful, powerful McQueen woman but this time she is more futuristic”.  All the models looked alike – each had a platinum blonde wig and each girl wore a mirrored silver visor that covered up almost the whole face.

Makeup artist Peter Philips gave the models beautiful, pure, alabaster ivory skin using Chanel Mat Lumiere foundation. As Peter explained “you can feel the face through the visor, but you don’t really see one”.

“It’s definitely art” actress Salma Hayek told me after the show. “It takes you somewhere special, you never know where she (Sarah) is going to take you, it’s ethereal, it really transports you somewhere”.

Featuring interviews with actress Salma Hayek, Vogue Japan Editor-at-Large Anna Dello Russo and top models Nimue Smith and Jac Jagaciak. Watch our exclusive Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 fashion video here now.  Shop the collection at AlexanderMcQueen.Com

Backstage the mood was also upbeat – Alber wanted the models to have a bold modern look so makeup artist Pat McGrath gave all the girls black winged liner.  Guido Palau decided to keep the hair relaxed hair to complement the rich colors and feminine silhouettes seen on the runway.

Allure Backstage – Prada Fall 2012 Backstage Beauty Video. Go backstage at Prada Fall 2012 with top model Natasha Poly  to see the look makeup artist Pat McGrath and hairstylist Guido Palau created for the show that was simply out of this world.  As Pat explained to me backstage,  “Mrs Prada was talking about the girls looking like virtual princesses.  So we’ve done makeup from another world.  We used black cream purple eyeshadow, black eyeliner, white eyeliner, orange cream shadows“.  Pat also bleached all the models brows and painted them orange.  “The look is alot like Rooney Mara which is quite a huge trend for Fall“.

Miuccia Prada is always pushing fashion forward, but the extreme beauty look Pat McGrath created inspired us to dream, think about the future and to consider how technology is affecting us all.

Designer Donatella Versace went back to the roots of the house, using the baroque tulip which was one of her brother Gianni Versace’s favorite flowers. It was a strong show from every point from the medusa buttons to peep toe boots to the military styling that is sure to be a huge trend for fall. The show had a sense of nostalgia about it as the show was held at Via Gesu – the location where her brother Gianni Versace did all his fashion shows.
