Once Upon A Time ~
SETTING
The 1970’s is a decade of social strikes, crisis, technological progress and the acceptance of what’s considered as “radical ideas” during the 60’s such as feminism and environmentalism.
However, for an average person living in those exciting but potentially troubling times, Pop music provides a constant source of comfort with their easy beats.
The 21st century began on January 1, 2001 and will end on December 31, 2100.
Welcome to the age of superpowers, the internet and space exploration. Living in relative peace and comfort, in this digital age, stress and anti-sociality are the major concerns of an average person living at this time.
Mankind’s progress is accelerating at its peak. Who knows what lies beyond tomorrow ?

GC HAIR STUDIO & ACADEMY’s Hair Designs & Concept
Each and every hair detail is specifically tailored according to the model’s individuality. Hair type, attire design, individual dimensions all was taken into account when designing the hair for this photo shoot.
In general, our take on the 1970’s timeline is that its more traditional in feeling, more neat & tidy feel, we have implemented the waves and curls typical of the the trend at this time to bring out the 70’s feeling. All hair work for this timeline must be done by hand, minimizing equipment use.
The Modern era however, will be characteristic of today’s cutting edge trends and designs. All details are much more technical with the utilization of the best technology at our disposal ;-)
STAGE’s Makeup Designs & Concept
On top of taking the models’ attire and facial characteristics into account, for us, the makeup of both eras is a reflection of the people’s perception of beauty during those particular timelines.
The 70’s are marked with strong eyeliners & lipstick, thin arched brows and appropriate shades. A strong feeling makeup brings out the feelings yesteryear.
In modern times, everything is much more organic, more natural in feeling and character =)
People nowadays gravitate more towards a light and gentle feel when it comes to making up.
