BACKSTAGE| Nova Chiu FEB'13







In previous seasons Nova Chiu has referenced her cultural background, and continued to do so for Autumn/ Winter, citing indigenous native American culture as her inspiration, with the contrasting  highway scenery.

Taking the brief on board, the Toni & Guy team were busy slicking back models hair ready to grace the Nova Chiu catwalk. Instead of opting for braids representative of native American culture, Celia Vincent created a sleek sectioned, clean cut part to illustrate both the culure and city skyline ideologies.

Complimentary to the simplistic hair, the Body Shop's Jo Sugar worked with a combination of minimal, illuminating base make up with heavily contoured cheeks mirrored that of Native American archetypal beauty.
