At the Fashion Prize photoshoot, we collaborated with Wojooh to create custom beauty looks to accompany the Finalists’ capsule collections. In these videos, the looks and inspiration behind them are revealed. Alongside the videos, we posed some questions to each of the Finalists to learn more about them. The how-to’s for the beauty looks, along with the full designer questionnaires, will be published shortly on Wojooh’s website.
