MALAYSIAN fashion designer Moto Guo sent models down the runway at Milan Men’s Fashion Week with pimply skin, intentionally created using makeup.
We’re used to seeing models with flawless skin, but the designer wanted to create a more natural, realistic look.
“The reason [Moto Guo] wanted to create this look was because he thinks kids and teenagers should not always be flawless,†a spokeswoman told news.com.au.
“The theme for this collection is called Picnic In The Society, where teenagers will be exposed a lot under the sun, and hence they will naturally have acne and blemishes on their faces,†she said.
Fashion bible Women’s Wear Dailydescribed the beauty look at “nerdy grooming†and the clothing as “almost ridiculous and childlike outfitsâ€.
But in its review of the show, WWD said the collection fell flat.
“In a fashion capital known for its strong focus on business — even with whimsy attached to it — this collection actually felt out of place.â€
