Internationally acclaimed hair stylist Kevin Murphy and UK based makeup artist Clare Lille from Illamasqua have been announced as the official Hair and Makeup Directors for Myer’s new season Autumn/Winter 12 collection launch. The much anticipated two day showcase will be taking place at Mural Hall, Myer Melbourne, on Thursday the 1st and Friday 2nd of March.
Murphy and Lille together with their talented teams will be responsible for the creation and execution of the parade’s 25 female and 10 male models, including Myer Ambassadors Jennifer Hawkins, Jessica Hart and Kris Smith.
Murphy and Lille will create a series of looks to compliment the defined shapes, soft silhouettes and luxurious fabrics of Myer's new season collection including pieces from top Australian designers such as Nicola Finetti, Wayne Cooper, Yeojin Bae, Manning Cartell, Arabella Ramsay and Aurelio Costarella.
”Myer plays such an important role in Australian fashion, housing the incredible fashion of Australia’s most talented designers,” says Murphy. “We are very honoured to be part of this esteemed event and celebrate Australia’s homegrown fashion talent."
“As head makeup artist for the show, I am thrilled that MYER have requested the vibrancy and eccentricity of Illamasqua to produce the looks for this years parade for the third year running," said Lille.
In addition to directing the hair and makeup for the three collection launch parades over the two-day event, Murphy and Lille will host a free in-store hair and makeup styling demonstration, revealing the latest hair and makeup trends and the secrets to creating runway ready looks.
