Romance Was Born can always be trusted to bring a touch of theatrical drama to the MBFWA catwalks, and with it equally eclectic beauty looks backstage. While make-up artists and hair stylists have been sending out slices of colour and playful make-up all week so far, we knew the beauty team responsible for supporting Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales’ Resort 2017 collection would step things up even further with some seriously memory-making beauty moments.

Alan White was at the helm of the KMS hair team, who all set up their stations in a car port far bigger than most Sydney Eastern Suburbs apartments, situated adjacent to the Darling Point mansion where the show would later take place. The sun was shining outside, the smell of KMS Free Shape spray was in the air and Alan White was working his magic.
“I’m thinking Liberace’s daughter circa 2016. I’m channelling the curl… realistically multiple curls on mass,” he said, as he teased Ruby Jean Wilson’s blonde bob into a 10cm wide halo above her head.
