When it comes to fashion, staying ahead of the curve is often paramount to success; these looks from the Katty Xiomara Winter 2013 collection are proof and point of that. Hipster fashion is no longer exclusive to insular, urban subcultures. Recently, the style has been creeping its way into high fashion photoshoots and lookbooks. From boldly contrasting colors to legwarmers, Katty Xiomara captures the look well.
Makeup artist Marcello Nigro cleverly applied painted-on eyeglasses on model Lien (Best Models Agency) in a subtle nod to the often-mocked hipster eyeglasses without lenses—Lien’s glasses don’t even have frames. Beyond this, the makeup was top notch. It accents each outfit rather than competes with them for attention. As far as hair goes, Vasco Freitas did a wonderful job creating prim, smart looks.
