Christian Wijnants Spring/Summer 2026

Inspired by Malian photographer Seydou Keïta's "The Gentlemen of Bamako," this season's collection expressed the contrast between a formal yet relaxed mood. The hair and makeup reflected this duality by combining boyish elements with feminine ones.

Hair & Makeup Features

Hair:
The hair was kept in a down style that utilized the model's natural hair texture and individuality. The style was kept natural and slightly tousled, while the hair around the ears was kept neat for a boyish feel.

Makeup:
The makeup was focused on contouring to highlight the bone structure, minimizing color and shine to create a smart, boyish impression. A hint of warmth was added to the lips to introduce softness. The skin finish was kept light, showcasing the natural complexion, and shading was added to create structure while maintaining a soft appearance. This "quiet strength" conveyed by the makeup matched the mood of the collection.
