SKIN ART

Santa didn't bring you a diamond necklace or ruby bracelet this year, fear not dahlings, as the only thing to be seen in this season is temporary skin art. As seen at Rodarte, Jean Paul Gautier and Chanel, transfer tattoos in designs as varied as pearl necklaces, garters and tribal markings, adorned models bodies to spectacular effect. Chanel is set to retail the concept from mid-February, with packets of five body transfers starting at €55, exclusive to Chanel at Brown Thomas.
