Creative Lead

Under the direction of Beauty Director Ashley Klepitsch, the beauty language stayed clean and exacting, built to support line, silhouette, and light rather than compete with them.

Makeup

Executed by: The Chicago Makeup School

  • Diffused gloss pressed into the lip
  • Clean lids with soft contour to frame the eye
  • Luminous skin moderated by a glossy veil 

Result: clarity on camera and in-person, with structure that reads from runway to close-up.

Hair

Executed by: Stevens Hair Academy

  • Low braids and free flowing 
  • Sheen finish for a quiet, polished edge
  • Tension and symmetry calibrated to echo consistency

Result: disciplined shape with subtle movement that doesn’t disturb the garments architecture.

Nails

Sponsored & executed by: bythepolish

  • Green-and-marble design aligned to the collection theme
  • Sheer depth and crisp edges for a refined, couture finish
  • Palette tuned to complement the bohemian theme

Result: a modern accent that completes the look.

impact

Beauty is part of construction. The architecture we chose began with precise skin coverage, controlled details, and finished with a cohesive nail story- preserving the organic face; while elevating intent. The outcome is a show that photographs cleanly, edits quickly, and sustains its impact in post. Without the art of beauty there would be no story.
