Girly vs. Boyish Style and Beauty
By Ning Chao
There's a sexual revolution going on this season. Flitting from show to show at fashion week, runway models gender-bended between tough tomboys and femme fatales, like modern-day Violas from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. But instead of just a costume change from boyish Givenchy pantaloons to womanly corsets and crinoline (à la Dolce & Gabbana), entire beauty routines were overhauled to achieve a complete makeover in both attitude and appearance. Whether it's slicked-back hair and minimalist makeup to match Alexander Wang's double-breasted blazers or flirty red pouts and deeply flushed cheeks with Anna Sui's romantic ruffles, it's time to switch up your style and experiment.
