It seems makeup is no longer enough when it comes to couture: At the Valentino couture show in Paris yesterday, models' eyes were adorned with these stunningly beautiful, lacy, black gothic masks. Some, like this one, ominously covered only one eye, while others were full-on masquerade-style masks a la Eyes Wide Shut. Like jewels for the face (a trend which we saw interpreted literally at the Givenchy show, where golden beads were intricately applied to models' faces) these eye-masks were a new take on 1940s-style headpieces with lacy veils draped over the face. Meanwhile, the face was kept bare and neutral to put the focus on the elegant accessories. Now, if only they were acceptable to wear in real-life. I could see someone like Lady Gaga rocking them, as they're reminiscent of her signature zipper eye patch.
