Controlled disorder feels exciting again

Beauty at Collina Strada’s Spring/Summer 2027 show resisted the idea of polished uniformity. ELLE reports that luminous, near-glass skin met smudged grunge eyes and deliberately unpredictable hair in the open-air setting of Storm King Art Center.

The details included towering beehives, partial mohawks and windswept textures. The point was not a list of instantly copyable trends, but the charge created by opposites: clean skin against raw eye makeup, carefully built shapes beside strands left to move freely.

The wearable translation

Keep the complexion translucent, choose one emphatic gesture around the eyes and allow natural movement to remain in the hair. Carly Rae Jepsen also walked in the finale, reinforcing the show’s playful, communal energy.
