One of Chicago’s most glamorous and talked about fashion events,
Macy’s Glamorama 2014, took place earlier this month.
Lancôme, the event’s beauty partner and sponsor, invited me to go backstage to learn more about the looks created by their national makeup artist, Alex Sanchez. The theme this year was FASHION ROCKS® with Sanchez taking inspiration from the iconic rock star Debbie Harry. “The Glamorama stage look is pure Rock Star Couture…decadent, rebellious and reckless,” says Sanchez.
THE LOOK
BACKSTAGE
Alex Sanchez working his magic.
Sanchez, a very hands-on creative director, worked on all 45 models to insure a cohesive look through out the show. “You can try to explain it to someone else but every women’s eye shape is different and maybe they [make-up artists] might take it somewhere else. Not that it wouldn’t be pretty but it wouldn’t be the same,” explains Sanchez.
