Christel Man, hair & make-up artist
‘My mom who’s from Hong Kong instilled in me a keen interest in beauty rituals – namely skincare, because youth isn’t forever but taking good care of your skin does go a long way. Therefore, I also investigate homemade herbal tinctures for skin, acupressure and facial massage. From there it spirals into different areas of beauty that are malleable, open for interpretation – with one of my qualities being that I’m skilful at both hair and make-up. The full picture. I draw inspiration from whimsical photographers such as Paolo Roversi and Tim Walker. My career highlights: being part of the team for the Dior Homme show where I bumped into Karl Lagerfeld on the elevator, meeting Iggy Pop backstage while shooting this cinematic Gucci campaign and an impromptu visit by Anna Wintour at Prabal Gurung’s show’
