"    Photo: Imaxtree   The anticipation leading up to the Thakoon show was warranted once again this season with the ingenious forces of makeup artist Diane Kendal and hairstylist Odile Gilbert driving the inspiration. The designer often allows the duo to take creative liberties when conceptualizing the beauty look for his shows, and this year was no disappointment. &amp;quot;We were inspired by a winter wardrobe by way of the summer season,&amp;quot; said Kendal, who created a deep smoky blue eye topped with layers of contrasting glitter to mimic the sun&amp;#039;s reflection. The result was a dimensional, shimmering lid that illuminated the models&amp;#039; eyes. &amp;quot;NARS inspired the blue color,&amp;quot; said Kendal, who worked with all the brand&amp;#039;s products. &amp;quot;They make such wonderful colors.&amp;quot;   Gilbert, in the mist of a hair crisis (the glue attaching the faux bangs to the models&amp;#039; heads wasn&amp;#039;t drying as quickly as anticipated), was surprisingly tight lipped about her inspiration. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very conceptual, funny, and cute,&amp;quot; she said of the updo. The final look was a slicked-back chignon with lots of hair spray; asymmetrically cut faux bangs completed the style. &amp;quot;Half the bangs are short, and the other half are longer,&amp;quot; said Bethany Brill, Gilbert&amp;#039;s assistant. &amp;quot;The side that is short is determined by which ear the model wears the earring in.&amp;quot; The earring in question was an elaborate, floral jeweled ear cuff that the models wore on only one ear. Thakoon may have been inspired by Gilbert, who has been seen all season wearing an earring in only one ear. Conceptual indeed\u2014we wouldn&amp;#039;t expect anything less from Thakoon and his backstage beauty team.   Photo: Imaxtree Read the latest breaking fashion news.
