Vienna
has a lot to offer, amazing architecture, long-lasting tradition, the way of
living but also an interesting fashion scene. That’s why Gillette Venus made it its mission to support local designers and give them the chance to be
part of the MQ Vienna Fashion Week.15 in order to present their current
collection on the runway.
In
collaboration with Gillette Venus i had the pleasure to meet Mark Baigent, one
of the chosen designers who’s not only known for creating avantgarde „gender
free“ fashion which includes a lot of uni sex cuts, black fabrics, geometric cuts
and minimalistic shapes but also for his dedication to ethical practices
throughout the production process.
He’s
currently sharing his workspace with other creative individuals at the
Schneiderhof which is obviously the perfect place to develop new ideas and
get inspired in a laid-back atmosphere which invites you to sit down in order to gain an
amazing insight of their work.
Due to
the fact that his collection is not focused on any specific bodytype and that
he doesn’t care about genders only about the people i was also excited to
browse through his creations in order to find my personal favorites – it’s all
about finding the perfect piece which simply fits to your own preferences
and personal style which is not only a statement you will hear in the fashion
world but also relatable to the products of Gillette Venus which were also
developed to the different needs for women for 30 years.
As both in fashion and in beauty routines every woman
(and man) has her (his) individual preferences and needs, i decided to show you
two of my favorite looks by Mark Baigent as well as my favorite Gillette Venus
products today. You will find the looks and products on the pictures
below, which have been shot at Schneiderhof. A few words on my favorite Venus
products: For an extra portion moisture and to avoid dry skin, i use the Venus
& Olaz razor with its lovely vanilla scent. When i feel more sensitive, i
go for the Venus Embrace Sensitive razor and the dye- and fragrance-free Satin
Care Pure & Delicate shave gel, which further helps to minimize the risk of
skin irritation. For instant smoothness on-the-go i love the new Venus Embrace
Snap with its cute mini handle.
To give you the opportunity to find your perfect
match, either in Mark’s collection or in the Gillette Venus portfolio, i am
hosting a giveaway today: you have the chance to win a package full of
Gillette Venus products but you also have the chance to win 1x2 tickets
for the fashion show of Mark Baigent and Ylva presented by Gillette Venus
on September 9th. Just tell me which one you think could be your favorite
