S/S16 Trend Report: Runway to Racecourse

3 min read

Dubai World Cup is just around the corner, which also marks the onset of the spring’s social calendar in full swing. The races are a time for a flutter – both on and off the racecourse.

The New English Rose

The trick to achieving the perfectly imperfect oxblood lip as seen at Burberry is to leave the edges soft and blurry around the perimeter for a fuller and stronger allure.
