“We’re going to use all of these!” That s Grace Hartzel, the famously freewheeling model who ruled the Spring 2017 runways, holding a pack of blue spangled stickers to dot across her ears. Hartzel has arrived at a suite at The Standard High Line in New York City to undergo her ultimate Halloween transformation—a high-fashion incarnation of David Bowie, done with a few simple tools in her makeup kit. “I have some spots, but don t we all, baby,” she says, digging through her bag for her custom mix of porcelain-toned concealers.
Happily, Hartzel’s trademark mullet, recently chopped by hairstylist Guido Palau, is already full-on Ziggy Stardust. To complete the look, there s a thick ring of peacock blue shadow around the eyes, lined with white pencil and trimmed with glitter (“You can never have enough glitter, though,” Hartzel adds), along with candy-pink blush applied along the temples to the forehead. “Space suit or dress?” she ponders, lifting a gleaming silver spandex number to the light. Either way, it’s a Halloween knockout.
