At London Fashion Week, I noticed a couple of outlandish beauty trends such as crimped hair and modern cornrow braids [1]. But what I remember most vividly from my backstage access was the look of goth lips.

Designers like Julian MacConald [2], Nathan Jenden [3], Ossie Clark [4] and Inbar Spector [5] all chose a midnight lip to reflect a chic and distinguishable edge. I'm not a big fan of morbid makeup [6], but it definitely has shock value on the runway. Would you ever wear blood-colored lipstick?
