Tastes are not debatable, nor should they be limited to a binary classification of "good" and "bad". Good taste is that which best serves the individual personality, bringing out the specificities that define each human being as unique. Bad taste occurs when others prefer to judge, rather than celebrate, these differences. In beauty, there is only room for the first option.

Sculpted hair

Once a mere hairstyle, the wet hair look is now a form of artistic expression. The flexibility and structure offered by the right styling products make it possible to shape the hair like a classic sculpture. Examples of this are the presentations for the cold season by Fendi Haute Couture, Giambattista Valli Haute Couture and Gaurav Gupta Haute Couture, where not even one hair string was seen out of place.

Mermaid vibes

After Halle Bailey brought the magic of mermaids back to the big screen, fashion has taken inspiration from her majestic appearance to design the most intriguing Fall/Winter trends. Givenchy and Courrèges were inspired by mermaid’s loosely defined curls, Vaillant recreated on its models the glow of when the sun hits the water and Diesel and Richard Quinn adopted, like in this enchanted world, a palette of primary colors.

Two-tone lip

Why choose just one favorite lipstick when trends dictate that you can wear two? From Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood to Thom Browne Haute Couture, and even Y/Project and Kim Shui, the colors multiply to create a multidimensional lip painting. For a more discreet version, blend the two shades. However, those who like to take risks can limit each shade to the perimeter of the upper and lower lips.
