The 2021 After Pay Australian Fashion is drawing to an end. We've waited a long time for this and it's shaped up to be one of the biggest and best yet.

Alice McCALL's '22 Resort Disoteca

show at Sydney Fashion Week, the energy and legacy of '80s icons, à la Grace Jones and David Bowie, made a well-deserved comeback.

The runway itself paid tribute to disco era and was adorned with psychedelic pattern in retro colourways to give the audience a hint of what was headed their way.

As for the collection itself, mini dresses in '70s-esque prints and crochet knits, leather tailoring were the order of the day. However, it was the show's big hair and bold beauty moments that also had tongues wagging.

"It's an electric feeling of the '70s and '80s colour clash with a nod to the band 'Kiss!'," said Carol Mackie, makeup director for MAC Cosmetics. "Think Jerry Hall, Sade, New Romantic and you're there!"

Skin was kept beautifully polished with a natural, matte finish by using MAC Cosmetics' Studio Radiance Face + Body Sheer Foundation and Fix+ Magic Radiance.

Defined lips also beautifully complimented the look's retro feel, thanks to MAC's lip pencils in Nightmoth, Whirl, Vino, Cherry and Subculture and finished with metallic pigments and Lipglass gloss in the centre of the lip.
