Paris Fashion Week: Rick Owens Coats His Models in Gold Foil- See the Photos

Paris Fashion Week saw several major eye-
catching moments on Thursday, from Kim
Kardashian 's and Jared Leto 's platinum
makeovers to the metallic-coated
catwalkers in Rick Owen s' fall 2015 show,
titled "Sphinx."

 Owens enlisted top makeup artist Lucia Pieroni, who covered the models — from hair to neck and even the ears — with one of three shades of metallic leaf (ranging from silver to yellow gold) for a supernatural sculpture-like effect. The look, which she called "gold leaf Mayan goddess," was smooth in some places, and heavily textured and raised in others, paired with slicked-back hair.

Yet other girls were made up to be Mayan warriors, with thick black rectangles of MAC eyeliner in lieu of the shining foil. Owens cited influences including Frank Lloyd Wright ’s Hollyhock House and its flora motifs that had roots in Mayan culture.- Hollywood Reporter
