Recreating what he did for Emporio Armani, hair-stylist Franco Gobbi fashioned buns to sit perfectly under the collection's black hats
 

Gucci

Luigi Murenu created a simple look at Gucci, just pulling a few locks to the back and leaving most of the length to flow down in natural waves

 

Gucci

Pat McGrath's exquisite make-up featured luminous complexions and shiny burgundy lips
 

Jil Sander

The make-up by Peter Phillips was all about contrasts - pale porcelain skin and dark pink fluorescent lipstick

Guido Palau kept hair extremely simple in a low side-parted ponytail
 

Marni

A strong look at Marni, where make-up artist Tom Pecheux sculpted faces with multi-dimensional touches of pink, white and brown to re-define their features

Paul Hanlon kept hair poker straight and almost geometrically bold 

Max Mara

Tom Pecheux enhanced models' eyes and cheeks at Max Mara with earthy tones to interpret the military and boyish influences of the collection
 

Max Mara

Drawing attention to the sculpted make-up, hair was sleekly pulled back away from the face, and fashioned into a braided low bun
 

Prada

Pat McGrath created a three-tone look by overlapping glossy shades of purple, black and orange, blending a white powder on the temples for an otherworldly effect
 

Prada

Guido Palau's manga-like hairstyle was achieved by attaching white and copper locks onto perfectly straightened hair
 

Emilio Pucci

Luigi Murenu created a wispy, braided crown, leaving the rest of the hair long, wavy and natural

Make-up artist Lisa Butler chose a palette of nudes and pinks, blended over the lids and cheeks and glossed on the lips

Hair was pulled back perfectly into a low braided bun
 

Sportmax

Sportmax faces were translucent, with boldly-shaded brows and a shiny layer of red on the lips

In contrast to the defined make-up, hair was left light and casual, swept back into a twisted bun with wispy locks pulled out at the front and back

 

Trussardi

Hair at Trussardi was given a wet treatment and pulled back into a masculine, textured quiff


 

Trussardi

The Trussardi palette comprised natural shades, with a healthy glow on the cheeks and a touch of gloss on both eyes and lips
 

Missoni

The urban wilderness of Missoni's collection was complemented by make-up artist Lucia Pieroni's palette of nude shades that glowed on cheeks, lips and lids, and was enhanced with a heavily-groomed brow

Eugene Souleiman combed wet hair back into a top knot, curling locks at the back into a faux bob
