Dewy, almost translucent, it radiated a quiet confidence—neither traditionally masculine nor overtly feminine, but something in between, something entirely its own. Layers of hydration sculpted the face without weight, while strategic balms and sheer highlighters mimicked the natural play of light on skin. Hair, too, walked the line between precision and nonchalance. Some strands clicked into place with architectural sharpness, others fell loose, as if intentionally resisting definition. It was androgyny at its most effortless--raw yet refined.
This fluidity wasn’t incidental; it was integral. Unveiled at London Fashion Week, Poet Lab’s latest collection, Gentle(wo)man, reimagined the masculine wardrobe through a poetic, deconstructed, and avant-garde lens. Inspired by Dadaism’s ready-made movement and the cultural shift toward gender fluidity, the collection unravelled the rigid codes of office wear, replacing them with sculptural draping, asymmetric tailoring, and a palpable sense of rebellion.
Backstage, beauty echoed the collection’s ethos. Skin was prepped to a near-bare, hyper-real glow, erasing the boundaries between effort and ease. Hair walked the tightrope between restraint and release—boyish and groomed one moment, tousled and nonchalant the next. No hard lines, no forced identities. Just the freedom to exist somewhere in the in-between. Because at Gentle(wo)man, beauty—like fashion—wasn’t about binaries. It was about movement, transition, and the quiet power of becoming.
