Financial Times: How to Spend It
Photographer: Andrew Yee
Styling: Damian Foxe
Hair, Make-up and Set Design: Atelier Management

These impressively posed shots were Financial Times' How to Spend It, back in December 2013. Ballet has recently gone 'on the up' in fashion and as one of those who has leapt onto this latest bandwagon, I had to mention this one.

The pointed toe in the first, the clasped hands in the second, turned out feet in the third and the pilé en point (!!) in the fourth all emulate dancing poise and posture. Combined with the unusual quirks in theatrical hair and make-up make for a fantastical combination.

Love the (GREEN) lips!

'Tribal Gathering'

Photographs and Styling by Damian Foxe 

1. Lime Crime Serpentina $18 
2.  Illamasqua Apocalips £18.50 
3. Dolce and Gabbana Emeraldo £27 (from the Sicilian Jewels collection)

Emerald Green was Pantone colour of the year in 2013 and as it filters here and there into high fashion, we wonder, can we actually wear green lipstick?

It makes an extraordinary focus point for Damian Foxe's styling above, Illamasqua's Apocalips brings together the crazy combinations of feathers, animal print, layers of tulle and wooden jewellery and impressive sculptures of hair.

Apocalips, has a vibrant and matt finish. But if you don't want to go down the '90s grunge route and you're not ready to go as far as Foxe if your feeling tribal, I think you will be surprised how flattering an emerald tone can be on golden skin, minimal eye make up and bronzed lids. That's where glossy, jewel-esque shades like Lime Crime's Sperpentina or Dolce and Gabbana's Emeraldo come in.

See Rhianna, who pulls off grunge AND gleaming...
