Beauty Insider – Fashion Week Special

By Ellen Burney

Legendary make-up artist Kay Montano has been working backstage at London Fashion Week since it started 25 years ago. Here, she recalls the dynamic beauty scene of the 1980s and reveals how the look – which is big news in beauty again this year - has been updated for 2009.

Who were your icons back in the 1980s?

KM: ‘It was women like Debbie Harry, make-up artist Barbara Daly – who did all of the Stanley Kubrik films – Jerry Hall and a make-up artist called Yvonne Gold. [Yvonne] had big, blonde dreadlocks and worked with Vivienne Westwood and her partner Malcolm McLaren who at the time had a new-wave band Bow Wow Wow. A signature technique of hers was to use gold paint over the Cupid’s bow, which make-up artist Pat McGrath uses a lot now.
