 There is no denying the influence of this catwalk show just by looking at one image which is something I really want to recreate, the instant recognisition of tribalism. Schwab was inspired by 20th Century Navaho and the natural forms. Taking alot of inspiration fronm the surroundings of the amazon including the bees and their natural habitat.

The hair in this show is very simple which I like , the middle parting creates a powerful line down the centre of the head . The long hair which has been extended using clip in extentions looks like a warrior princess , very Pocahontas .

I like how the clothing looks like a tribal outfit with the colours and the designs , the bottom half of the dress appears to look like a skirt that tribal communities wear. The patterned lines around the chest area remind me of scarification , this is a great way of representing scars as sometimes they may appear to much on the skin itself .

Val Garland was the lead Make up artist for this show , the inspiration Garland used was modern warrior . I think this make up instantly looks tribal and fierce . I can see this would be striking from the audience and works well with the clothing. The skin looks natural and pure , I would like to achieve this in my base for my shoots as I feel the tribes would not wear a normal base of foundation it will be their normal skin tones.

brillant to see the movement in the styling , which reflects why the hair and make needs to be so solid and rigid. It also makes me realise that it is not just the overall styling that makes the theme complete in a fashion show but also the music which was produced by  Rafael Wallon-Brownstone .
