How do you feel about beauty and jewelry? In what ways do you think they go together?
Lisa: "Well, I think they’re hugely connected, and that’s why the beauty looks were so important, and we were so lucky to have Bobbi’s team, and Bobbi herself, contribute their talent and vision. And I basically showed them our inspiration boards for each of the three women, and they created a really specific look to speak to that woman or that muse. But of course, again, in a modern way. So just like in jewelry, and in fashion, we have to look to the past for inspiration, but push it forward into a modern interpretation. And you can see in the three makeup looks, as well as in the hair looks, that Jessie is creating for Marie Robinson — that we’re really pushing the idea forward, not just doing a costume-y thing but really making it a modern day look."
And how did you choose the wardrobe? We know there was a goal of having the three characters look cohesive since they’re in the same room?
Lisa: "We played off the idea of using different metallic tones, which of course also play off of the jewelry. So, we used a champagne, bubbly fun color for Schiaparelli, since she was the most party-oriented — the champagne era. Nancy Cunard was gold and white, a very sophisticated palette, and then we used like a gunmetal gray, a very mercurial color almost, for Marchesa Casati, who was very much into the cult and almost had a darker, romantic, almost a celestial side. So, we picked these gray tones for her. And then Jennifer went into her archives and pulled beautiful Lacroix and different designer vintage that fit into those color schemes and spoke to that time period but, again, weren’t too literal."
