For China Fashion Week, the annual Eon Fashion Awards followed its tradition of offering statement pieces in outrageously freakish looks.
From makeup to headgear, the pieces featured had whimsical, fairytale and sci-fi influences. Styles included outrageous yet elegant feathered eyelashes and curly, sculpted headpieces, some of which resembled Medusa's head of slithering snakes.
The Eon Fashion Awards is a makeup and styling contest, and with such fabulously over-the-top looks, this year's competition had me cheering for virtually every designer.
