At Thom Browne, makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench drew beauty inspiration from birds
—
I love dramatic fluttery eyelashes on the runway, but the fall 2025 Thom Browne show took eye makeup to a whole other level by gluing long, colorful feathers to the models’ lashes. “The inspiration came from birds—we wanted to bring a magical story to life through makeup,” makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench says of the look, who worked with the brand Lashify.
The sheer wingspan of the feathers gave the effect that the lashes could fly away at any moment, but they were safely secured with several key products. “I collaborated [with Lashify] to create the EDGE and EDGE X Gossamer Lashes, designed to mimic a graphic eyeliner effect. We’re using the EDGE X Gossamer Lashes to create a beautifully tapered wing, layering the lashes for added depth, and then enhancing them with beautiful, bird-like feathers to create extra bulk and density to the lash.” To adhere both the lashes and the feathers, Ffrench and her team used Lashify’s Bondage Extra Strength Bond with Charcoflex.
