“It is all about the leg,’ said skin perfecting expert Nichola Joss. ‘St. Tropez’s Perfect Legs give dimension, without shimmer to winter skin; so we are applying this on top of an even layer of our Wash Off Mousse.”
As always the basecoat hides blemishes and imperfections on the skin, something that is all too obvious under the harsh show lights and flashing cameras bulbs.
“It was so great to work again with St. Tropez,’ said Schwab, as the girls stood in the line-up ready for their catwalk exit. ‘This season we have created beautiful illusions with the skin - an almost alien melting to form with the body of the girl. It is very suitable and very slight.”
“That is definitely a colour I’d go for if I had a bare winter leg,” whispered Melanie Rickey, Grazia’s fashion editor-at-large, as the models trotted passed.
“It will surprise people that we are sponsoring Autumn/Winter shows, said Feeney, ‘but it is all about a polished finished look, however much skin is showing.”
Laura Craik, Fashion Editor at The Evening Standard, was indeed surprised that a tan had been used at Schwab’s show, although she did notice how flawless the model’s looked: “It is very subtle and light,’ she said – ‘what a refreshing change from some of the orange Z-list celebrities you see at the moment.”
