Peter Philips on the makeup he did for Alexander McQueen: We were inspired by clowns, divas and Pierrot, with a bit of Joan Crawford thrown in." Using Chanel products,  makeup artist Peter Philips created an extreme image of glamor with a very white face and a dark lip, drawn in a wide oval around the mouth.

Meanwhile, hairstylist Guido Palau taped sculptures made of spray-painted Coke cans to the models' heads, which were wrapped with stockings.
