GRAPHIC BRIGHTS
Although we have seen plenty of graphic eyes on the runways in seasons past, Otis tells us that this look is back with a burst of vibrant col- our this time. “There’s a bit of a graphic thing happening around the eyes, particularly with yellows, oranges and lavender—those kinds of bold, not too perfect shapes are happening,” she says. In other words, your typical eye shades of black, navy blue or grey are shifting in favour of
punchy hues for autumn. Otis also emphasizes the fact that perfection is on the way out, and creativity is in. Rather than solid, clean lines in neutral shades, graphic eyes are now vibrant, perhaps slightly smudged and a bit rebellious.
“It might be an antithesis to the Instagram style. There’s still that whole idea of a full-on done cut crease, but I think it’s with colour,” she says.
