“The look of the Marc Jacobs collection was
inspired by the contemporary dancer, Martha
Graham: Old-fashioned and theatrical but
graceful and precise. At the same time,
however, there was a darker side that was
shone through: a quality of gothic romance.
Ballerinas with a sense of mystery- as if part
of them, along with some of their makeup,
had been left behind on stage.”
Look: Left-over stage makeup. The models
weren’t meant to have perfect makeup-
rather, they were meant to encompass a
“just came off-stage” effect. “Dancers in
theater and opera always have white faces,
pointed lips and an eye that is drawn
outward, not upward-it’s very theatrical, very
ballet,” said François Nars. He stressed the
importance of the eye for this look, noting that
“the shape of the eyeliner is important- it
should open the eyes, especially underneath.
The slashes of white is something they used
to do in the 70s- it brings a 3-dimensional
feeling to the makeup.”
