Tweed jackets paired with plus fours and caps evoked an air of stately British sophistication, while black and jewel tones bled into fuchsia magical gowns that seemed to float with each step. The collection moved with grace, combining the old-world charm of tailoring with a modern sense of wonder and whimsy Make up by YinLee for Paul Costelloe using Sephora and Facewise Skincare was nothing short of stunning, drenched in rich russet and bronze tones that illuminated the skin with an opulent glow. The look felt luxurious, mirroring the deep textures and historical legacy that defines the Costelloe brand. It was a beauty that spoke to both grandeur and sophistication, capturing the essence of the designer's long-standing reputation while remaining modern and fresh. The skin was radiant, glowing with warmth, while the eyes shimmered with depth, reflecting the richness of the collection. It was a look that transcended trends, rooted in timeless elegance. The hair, a masterpiece in its own right was the work of Cos Sakkas with Toni & Guy using Label M whose intricate design added a whole new layer to the collection. A back channel of braid from crown to nape, wrapped into a ponytail, was an architectural marvel, while the symphony of hands holding string and netting to create folded fringe was pure artistry. What stood out, though, was the exposed ear, offering a subtle yet refreshing touch that brought an unexpected ease and movement to the otherwise structured look. It was a balance between complexity and freedom, a perfect metaphor for the collection itself. As Paul waved to the crowd at the end of the show, there was a palpable sense of respect and admiration for him in the air. His legacy, woven into the fabric of British fashion, is one that continues to inspire, innovate, and resonate. Always a joy to witness, his work remains a testament to his genius and enduring place in the fashion world.
