LFW 2011 : Behind-the-scenes at Christian Blanken

Last Tuesday, I was invited to attend the Christian Blanken show, and go backstage, for a more in depth view. The stunning Portico Rooms at Somerset House, was the stage for Christian Blanken's  A/W 2011 presentation. Backstage was relatively calm, and quiet (perhaps because it was 7 in the morning?). 

Hair and make-up were set up, and ready to get the day started. Hair was done by Kevin Murphy's team, and the hairstyle for the day, was a slicked back ponytail, with a middle parting. Make-up was done by the legendary Adam De Cruz, who's worked with Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, David Beckham etc. His work has also been published in Vogue China & Australia, Marie Claire, Harpers Bazaar and many more. The make-up look for the day, was an intense modern smokey eye, with vibrant hues of electric blue.
