Still an Influence

Its amazing to me how still to this day, fashion is still influenced by Elizabethan times. The no eyebrows was a huge trend in 2014. Model's strutted down Alexander Wang's runways with bleached brows and pale skin. Givenchy's Fall/winter 2014 campaign featured no brow models. The edgy look has remained edgy and timeless. Its bold and strong so its only fitting that the most influential artists continue to use this historical trend. 

Many makeup artists have gained inspiration from Elizabeth. The above collage oozes Elizabethan Influence. From the clown like makeup and collar in the bottom photos, no eyebrows and fair skin and hair in the top right photo,  to the barely there eyebrows, pale complexion and rouge lips and cheeks in the top left image. We have to remember that the Elizabethan era was 100's of years ago so everything afterwards is just re-invention over and over.

Superstars like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Beyonce have also clearly been influenced by elizabethan times. Re-creating the regal theme and style of the times. I think because of the beautifully elaborate designs of Queen Elizabeths dresses she will always be an influence and be referenced in fashion and current trends.
