Debbie Harry
Alexander Wang wool coat, mesh top, nylon gloves and cotton bandana, www.net-a-porter.com
With choppy bleached blonde locks and a penchant for vivid eyeshadow and draping, new wave punk goddess Debbie Harry pulled off three of this season’s hottest beauty trends all at once.
Grace Jones
Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello wool bodysuit, Saint Laurent. Vintage necklace, model’s own
Black eyeshadow smeared across the lids to exaggerate heavy, line-rimmed peepers — Grace Jones would approve.
Diana Ross
Embellished silk gown, Gucci
Diana Ross’ fabulous ’fro might not be for everyone, but her idea of night-time makeup is: defined lashes and eyeliner, and a bold rose-red pout.
Jane Forth
Satin blouse, metal and enamel earrings, and matching necklace, Versace
Barely there brows (she plucked the ends off), unexpected eyeshadow shades, and blusher worn marionette-style (read: focused on the apples of the cheeks) made Warhol muse Jane Forth one of the most imaginative beauty originators of all time.
Candy Darling
Calvin Klein 205W39NYC silk dress, Dover Street Market Singapore
A smoky cut crease + pretty pink lips = a softer, more wearable spin on Candy Darling’s hard-edged glamour.
Isabelle Collin Dufresne
Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello silk shirt, embroidered pants, leather headband and metal choker, Saint Laurent
Make like haute hippie Isabelle Collin Dufresne, aka the artist Ultra Violet, by topping off a cascade of dark curls with a fun hair accessory.
