Sacred & Profane

When creativities meet, beautiful collaborations are born. Years ago, Samantha Peluso and her academy created special make-ups for exceptional models: the Maries. In this way, the young students were given the opportunity to experiment, to test themselves, to create looks studied and developed by the teacher and made to the best of their ability. This year, the make-up’s theme was a sort of frame around the face within which, like a work of art, a make-up was created inspired by the dress that the girl would wear. For the first time, the 12 Maries, wore different dresses, all from the 1700s in honor of the Carnival theme. The make-up, although personalized, had some details that were the same for all of them. In this way, the tradition that all the Maries were the same was respected, so that they felt like a single group, but at the same time, as usual, their individual characteristics could emerge. Thanks to the trust placed in the project by Mariagrazia Bortolato, we saw youngs trusting youngs under the watchful and competent gaze of Francesco Briggi and Samantha Peluso, and the unforgettable hairstyles created by Maria Antoci of Mary hair stylist.
