Romero Jennings went for "it-girl" glam at Kim Shui, pairing dramatic, smudged liner and icy white eyeshadow. "It's 'cool girl.' Think about somebody like Gabriette — she looks almost futuristic, yet retro. She's got a skinny brow, her makeup is always cool-colored," Jennings told Hypebae.

Hairstylist Sonny Molina described, in a press statement, that this free-flowing hair "was designed to complement the collection's structured silhouette." Molina started with a sleek base to blend in the banged wig and its glue, then he used Bumble and Bumble's "Spray de Mode" Flexible Hold Hairspray for maximum hold.
