Copper Eyes Inspiration

Alexander McQueen
For his collection in Fall 2015, Alexander McQueen had a very Elizabethan inspired hair style and makeup design. All models were redheads with pale complexions but the emphasis was on their eyes. A shade much similar to their hair was used to bring out the brightness and white in their eyes - a trait of youth. The coppery shade used around the eyes is reminiscent of the renaissance period full of royalty and indulgence. I can imagine the members of high society in that period would have flaunted rich golds, silvers and a mixture of the two through clothing and accessories so I feel copper will be an interesting way to incorporate this element into my New Elizabethan.
