Glistening skin, post-swim hair and makeup reminiscent of azure Caribbean waters—a tidal wave of oceanic influence is upon us. At 3.1 Phillip Lim, the hair was described as “crustaceous” and “shipwrecked” and skin had a pearlescent glow; retro mermaids wore a wash of aqua eyeshadow at Badgley Mischka; and models on the Band of Outsiders runway had damp, side-parted waves meant to replicate “Jan Brady at the beach.” At Kenzo, the save-the-fish message of the collection was echoed by manicures tipped with white crashing waves, while hair was twisted into a seashell shape at Carolina Herrera for a look that was decidedly uptown. Life’s a beach, even if you’re stuck in the city.
