QWhen you just can’t see things positively, maybe you have to strive to change the point of view, reverse the perspective, why not, even the opposite. What he sends is a message of hope Peter Philips. creative and image director Christian Dior Makeup, from the backstage of the Dior Haute Couture SS 202 fashion show.
For the show, he “turned over” a great classic of makeup (as well as the shows of the maison), the graphic eye. Quite the contrary. Black eyeliner turns white. The graphic line from the upper eyelid migrates to the lower one. A metaphor: what has so far been turned upside down may still be new. It is capable of surprising us, making us dream.

“I focused on one graphic look that, although minimal in its graphics, stood out a lot. A simple look but full of light and character, like the collection »says Philips from backstage.
It exudes femininity, joy, but above all the ability to reinvent. Even a classic like eyeliner, which at Dior is always new.
How does?
«It is always a good challenge, even more so in this historical moment in whichi seem to lack inspiration, beauty. However, both Maria Grazia Chiuri and I love eye makeup, and this seemed like a nice message to send to women from a high fashion show, the stage of the dream: even though being so limited, despite having the pandemic rI duct the make-up to little more than a stripe above the mask, the beauty resists“.
And how?
«By playing with the few elements we have. Reviewing the classics. Black becomes white. The eyeliner draws a underliner, a decisive trait that dresses the lower rim of the gaze and lifts it upwards. It’s futuristic, not retro at all. “

«The look is very technical but there is no real how to copy it, rather. The beauty lies in customizing it: any eye shape can be more or less enhanced by a different trait, more or less inclined, pointed… Anything can be done ».
Especially the opposite of everything: «I find that the eye makeup, even before the pandemic, it was a very useful tool for emphasize expressiveness. Even wearing all black makeup, with an intense smokey, or a romantic cat eye, is already a message. Now that the gaze is the only visible focus, its power is felt even more. And today the make up must explore opportunities, leave horizons open in a world of closures ».
