Model Profiles: Cara and Poppy Delevigne

Two stylish British sisters with modeling careers and backgrounds. With a more young-spireted and grungy style, Cara Delevigne has had the spotlight brightly shown on her, being requested at almost every show in 2013's Fashion Week. Burberry to Gucci, her face appears in most all the top designer headlines and shows, as well as Vogue magazine. Cara, with her stand-out brows, highlighted cheekbones, and ample lips, incorporates pop culture and patterns into her very much envied style and look.

Poppy, the older sister to Cara, models for brand names and designers like Marc Jacobs and more recently, Louis Vuitton, not on the runway, but for catalogs and haute couture advertisements. She is regularly in the front row of Fashion Week shows, many of which her younger sister is in. A more preppy, femmé look has been overtaken by Poppy, putting her in the spotlight for street-style and high fashion looks.

It's the end of MFW, and with that, I've decided to highlight another perspective of Fashion Week; backstage fashion and action. Pictures from backstage give the benefit of an up-close view of not only the clothes but the hair and makeup. I especially love backstage views of fashion shows because of the depiction of the work that goes into making the models (and ultimately the show) look like they do. Take a look!

Makeup has ranged from an edgy point, with smoldering eye makeup alongside plum and chocolate lip coloring, to a more classic look a simple winged eye and crimson hues on the lips. Designers like Gucci and Balanciaga chose a sort of wet look for the hair, going along the very apparent trend of slicked hair in these Milan fashion shows. It seemed that if the hair didn't look wet, it looked short; illustrated in numerous fashion shows for a sort of baseline hairstyle (Dolce and Gabbana not included).
