The international fashion circle has been resonating with one name since Paris Fashion Week. Alex Box. She is the new make-up artist of choice for a range of designers including Gareth Pugh, Collette Dinnigan, Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney and has been named the new Pat McGrath.
Alex uses pens, brushes, pigment, paint and pencils to create precise sculptures and designs on the face. Her signature style is a mash of fantasy, gothic, vintage and magic – a far cry from the naked and natural look of many recent shows.
She liberates the viewer from reality with her fantastical and surreal make-up, which often challenges conventional concepts of beauty. She believes in magnifying the essence of each model, stating ‘the minute you obliterate somebody’s spirit, you’re abusive’. Her creations are vivacious, sometimes disturbing and absolutely arresting.
Check out some of her work at the Collette Dinnigan Printemps/Ete 2010 Paris Fashion Week show and check out the GRLtv video, featuring Alex and her spunky-famous skeleton hairclip.
