#LCT18<br />
THE INSTANT IMAGE BY KEN PICTON<br />
Inspired by the on-the-fly editing and<br />
trend-hungry tendencies of the selfie<br />
generation, the audience witnessed a<br />
millennial mermaid with emerald green<br />
lengths pose for aerial pictures in the<br />
centre of the runway, before being<br />
joined by a dreamy pastel afro that<br />
was proudly #nofilter. Social media<br />
techniques were exaggerated for<br />
the stage, with festival-ready braids<br />
supersized and tonal tuning recreated<br />
IRL with super-saturated colours.<br />
THE EDITORIAL IMAGE BY BROOKS & BROOKS<br />
Taking the audience behind the lens, Brooks &<br />
Brooks emulated a live set, with sculptural, minimal<br />
looks emerging to the sound of shutters and camera<br />
flashes. Their palette was strictly pastel, composed<br />
of gentle mint greens, airy pinks and powder purples,<br />
with hair wrapped in elastic and contained within<br />
frayed muslin sheets blasted with hairspray. Each<br />
porcelain pose the models struck was accompanied<br />
by studio shots of the hair, taken prior to the<br />
presentation and blown up two storeys high on<br />
the dazzling video screens behind them.<br />
