Stolen Girlfriends Club Embraces The Chaos of 2020 with Bold New Collection

Stolen Girlfriends Club presented its new fashion collection ‘ Is there music in the afterlife?’ in a typically non-conformist manner, holding a music and fashion extravaganza – or ‘super club’ – for invited guests and fans, the range immediately available for purchase via the label’s website.

With 48 models involved in the presentation, walking a two-level, 53m catwalk scaffold, beyond the clothes, the beauty look needed to contribute to the unisex collection’s dramatic overarching theme which acknowledges the challenges of 2020, or as designer Marc Moore put it, “The brave new worlds that can arise from destruction and chaos.”

MAC senior artist Kiekie Stanners created three key beauty looks combining current global makeup trends with theatrical storytelling.

“This season’s Stolen Girlfriends Club show really captures the mood of 2020. The opening references brighter times at the start of the year then quickly heads into darker territory where we saw the world turned upside down. The finale brings us to present-day, a light on the horizon here in New Zealand, and I really wanted the beauty story to take you on this journey too.

“The opening and closing beauty looks showcase a refinement and optimism – radiant wet-look skin, strong brows and a pastel wash of colour over the eyelids as a nod to the sunny days and blue skies at either end of the year. Yet through the middle of the show, amongst the dark leather-clad styling, we see a type of ‘Mad Max’ gang where classic beauty just wouldn’t fit. This is where I wanted to create a post-punk makeup vibe hence the graphic neon spray-paint effect across the face. The idea of this part of the year was cancelled, so beauty was cancelled for this moment too.”
