The Carlos Campos clones are here to take over Fashion360! The Spring/Summer 2013 collection by Carlos Campos veered away from individuality and presented a concept of similarity and equality. Collection was divided into four groups of five looks each done in a specific color: sea green, white, golden yellow and sapphire blue.

Karlo Karlo, the lead makeup artist talked about the look: “I call it homo-Genius. Taking mod makeup for women, we transform it into a version for men. A very flawless face with neutral lips. We are basically creating clones.”

Looks are very symmetrical, proper and elegant. Each one is done strictly in one shade, head to toe; if the collar is open, models’ skin was spray-painted to strictly match the outfit. Standing out were the trench coats, specifically the sea green symmetric piece with four pockets on the front. As trends for men, I noticed a skinny pant fit and classic straight point collars.

“The concept for this show is a very clean cookie cutter minimalistic style. It will be the same for every guy,” shared Cesar Ramirez, the lead hairstylist for Carlos Campos. Hair was pulled away from the face and slicked back for a perfect mannequin-like do.

Inspired by combinations of royalty and informality, Catherine Malandrino created a chic Spring/Summer 2013 collection with an element of comfort. The main idea behind each garment is to unite delicate French romanticism and easily flexible sportswear.

Fabrics collided in combinations of leather, mesh and grosgrain. Heavy wavy textures also dominated cropped jackets, cropped sweater tops and dresses. The palette was light and pale, contributing to this season’s popular color trend. My favorite was a brighter mint shade, specifically on a long silk pant. Formal dresses with gorgeous embroidered belts were paired with sporty caps giving the overall look a more relaxed feel.

Hair was pulled up towards the front in a futuristic symmetrical style; makeup very neutral with light shimmery shadow and neutral lip. My accessory spotlight would be on the long white link earrings gently falling on the fabric past shoulders. A standout look was a light turquoise satin gown with embodiment on the neckline and a high slit (which seems to be another popular trend of the season!)
