London Fashion Week: AW18 backstage beauty

The best of the 80s

The 80’s trend is a constant source of inspiration. The AW18 stylists took the best elements of the era and made them even better. The twisted curls at Lulu Guinness were inspired by the 80’s disco perm but were bouncy and glossy, rather than crispy.
Get the look:
Prep hair with a volumising spray and create volume by rough drying with a hairdryer. Twist and wrap small sections of hair around the tip of the ghd curve creative curl wand (£120), the smallest part of the wand, to create a tight, spiral curl. Backcomb lightly at the root for extra D-I-S-C-O.

London Fashion Week catwalks are full of beautiful clothes and accessories, but it’s not just about the designer outfits. There’s a whole lot of work behind the hair and beauty look too.

In the same way that the clothes are designed from an idea, the LFW hair and makeup is also drawn from an inspiration, created into a concept and then brought to life by skilled stylists and makeup artists.

We went backstage at Fashion Week to meet with the experts and the creators behind our favourite LFW beauty looks.
