AT a recent party at the downtown club China Chalet, two attendees stood out from the rest of the hipsters. Among those gathered to see the group Salem perform were two individuals who, at first glance, had no eyebrows.
Forget shaping and plucking. The newest trend in eyebrows is to get rid of them altogether, either by bleaching them into oblivion or by shaving them off. The look has cropped up across the fashion world and is trickling to the streets. It was a conspicuous trend on the fall and haute couture runways, on models like Lara Stone and Iris Strubegger, and is now reflected in magazine and advertising images.
In the new Givenchy advertising campaign, shot by Mert & Marcus, a bevy of male and female models recline in an opulent French chateau. Without brows, they are inscrutable, alienlike mannequins. Depending on the viewer, they exude serenity or menace. This is an atypical description of one of the stars, the curvy Adriana Lima, best known for her work for Victoria’s Secret.
