Chinese Dress

[aziajs]

So how many designers does MAC work with at Fashion Week? The backstage photos show that Diesel, Luca Luca, and Heatherette (I think) are using their products.

Not actually a designer but a very own MAC bodypaint fashion show celebrating Chinese New Year!

In my Fashion magazine (canadian print. It was either Mischa Barton or Jessica Stam on the cover.) they had a list of how much stuff they went through
Like 250 lipsticks
A TON OF EVERYTHING.

Body painting is one of my favorite things to do...you really get to stretch your creative and artistic skills...beautiful pictures!

I want to say that they do 300 shows, but I could very well be wrong. lol

[iiifugaziii]

WOW. the picture on page 2 is absolutely stunning.

The pearl design on pages three and four is to die for!

[HeartOfSilver]

I agree with Lara, it made me blink and look at it again. Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to do that?

[mspixieears]

Wow, those were awesome...it would be cool to be able to do that!

[PrettyinPink]

Those pictures are all just amazing! I especially love the one girl with all the pearls...that's so stunning!

[Villainiss]

I am such a big fan of body painting, although it is such a bear to do! It takes a looooonnnggg time to get done, but the aftereffects are worth it. I love that you posted these photos!

BTW - if any of you have ever attended the Makeup Artist's Tradeshow (here in the US, it's in Pasadena), at the MAC booth, they usually do a live demonstration, that takes up most of the day. It's cool to walk by throughout the day to see the different stages as it progresses. Fascinating stuff!

i know MAC did the Baby Phat show as well this year cause my friend whos a trainer did that show.


MAC did this body painting for the MAC store opening in Shanghai and the theme is called "Chinese Dress", this is where the Fashion Week idea sprung from. My region's trainer took part in Chinese Dress- Fashion Week and brought back all these amazing pictures.

China doll ... Melissa Darmawan is painted in traditional Chinese dress


April 24, 2006

CALL it the great haul of China - with some of the world's biggest-spending fashion buyers arriving in Sydney today for Australian Fashion Week, the red hot money is expected to come from a powerful delegation of Chinese retailers.
As the Asian giant takes to capitalism with vigour, local fashion - like uranium and natural gas - appears set to be next on China's shopping list.

Franky Chic is poised to be the most powerful person in the front-row as Fashion Week takes to the catwalk this week, as he prepares to buy up big for department store chain MFG (Milion Fashion Group).

Championing Hong Kong designs until now, the retail chain, which also has stores in Milan, Moscow and Taiwan, has shown strong interest in Australian fashion labels.

"Australia appeals to them because of the price point. Much more affordable than European designs for example," IMG Fashion Asia Pacific international marketing director Jodi Pritchard said.

Austrade, the Federal Government's export promotion agency, will bring a record number of 27 buyers from China, who arrive on Wednesday morning, to AFW this year.

China, especially the city of Shanghai, is considered the hottest market for international fashion at the moment.

Luxury brands like Gucci, Chanel and Prada are rushing to set up shop in the newly-opened economy, where increased affluence has consumer spending sky-rocketing.

Austrade's chief economist Tim Harcourt said recent figures show China, currently our second biggest trading partner, is expected to become our largest export market in five to six years.

And Australian labels are not wasting any time, with no less than four designer shows this week taking inspiration (or flattering a few wallets, perhaps) from China.

International cosmetics giant, M.A.C will showcase its tribute to the Orient tonight, when 12 models will be body-painted in traditional Chinese dress.

the artwork on her looks GREAT! thats what i call talent

[lara]

I know a couple of the artists working on that tonight.

I'm so, so glad I'm having a quiet Fashion Week this year. Working shows that end before the sun goes down = bliss!

[Verdigris]

Heeeey, that's my av! Obviously I don't post enough.

Have fun and good luck to everyone at the Fashion show! I'm on the other side of Oz, no chance of getting there.
The MAC body paint artwork is fantastic!
