Paris Men's Fashion Week S/S 2013: grooming trends

Acne

Make-up artist Ayami Nishimura and the AOFM team created this youthful look using healthy strokes of blush on cheeks and lips

Words: Rosa Bertoli

Acne

A soft bedhead style, with locks casually pulled over the forehead, was the direction that Shon at Julian Watson took for hair

Dior Homme

An overarching porcelain theme by Aaron de May, with just a hint of gloss on the lips, was the intense look of the day at Dior Homme

Dior Homme

Hairstylist Anthony Turner fashioned these dramatic greased hairdos with a rigorous side parting

Dries Van Noten

Dries Van Noten's exquisite colour palette was perfectly complemented with Rudi Kremer's neutral make-up

Dries Van Noten

Paul Hanlon paid homage to the collection's refined elegance with a tight geometric parting

Givenchy

Riccardo Tisci's spiritually-charged collection saw monk-style hair shapes swept to the side and across the face

Givenchy

Eyes were subtly lined, while a decorative piece of nose jewellery ensured all the focus remained on the top half of the face

Hermès

The 'Sophisticated Sporty Spirit' theme for S/S 2013 was interpreted by make-up artist Alexandra Schiavi with rugged beards and flushed cheeks

Hermès

Matt Mulhall kept hairstyles casual too, brushing locks upwards to create a voluminous quiff

Kenzo

For Kenzo's safari-inspired collection, hairstylist Anthony Turner straightened locks, before tousling them to form a wild, texturised 'nest'

Kenzo

Make-up artist Yadim kept faces very simple and glossy to avoid a clash with the colour- and print-heavy collection

Kris Van Assche

Gina Van Den Bergh favored simplicity for the show's grooming look, with just a touch of gloss keeping eyebrows in place to add definition

Kris Van Assche

Brushed forward and curled back naturally at the tip, these feather-like styles by Joseph Pujalte gave great movement to the hair

Lanvin

Guido Palau created the ultimate contrast by juxtaposing military-style shaved sides with hair that was swept up from the back, smoothed, and kept long over the forehead

Lanvin

There was a slight sheer to the otherwise pale complexions created by Houda Remita, enhanced further by an imperceptible layer of gloss which defined the lips

Paul Smith

Paul Smith's sartorial savoir faire was reflected in Matt Mulhall's perfectly smooth hairdos

The collection's focus on colour was supported by Natsumi Watanabe's simple make-up palette

Raf Simons

The greased hairstyle spotted at Raf Simons seemed to be inspired by Edward Scissorhands, with Guido Palau brushing unkempt wavy locks on one side to cover half the face

Raf Simons

Make-up maestro Peter Philips painted a blushed pout on lips

Rick Owens

Hairdos seemed fashioned to take flight at this show: Luigi Murenu constructed tips into a stiff aerodynamic structured do

Rick Owens

Lucia Peroni's luminous complexions reflected the designer's use of bright nylons for his tailoring

Thom Browne

Thom Browne's latest effort saw sea creature motifs repeatedly popping up all over the collection, so it was apt that Sil Brunsima gave faces an ridescent fish-like silver sheen

Thom Browne

Hairstylist Rodolphe Farmer tucked models' hair under old-fashioned swimming caps in a matching silver shade, creating quite a startling effect

Louis Vuitton

From sailors to surfers, Kim Jones' Spring collection referenced seamen, and Peter Phillips's translucent make-up subtly reflected this call

Louis Vuitton

Also taking his cues from the sea references, hairstylist Guido Palau created this wet, sleek look for the hair
