“Alexander Wang. The hair was a greasy mess—it was cool,” the Texas native said, adding that an on-the-go shampoo was a must afterwards. Offered as proof: A backstage photo with a fellow Wang model—dark, goth strands obscuring their faces—is now the background on her iPhone.

“I love the shiny [crystal] eyeliner. I’m not taking off this makeup!” Ju said backstage at Rodarte, where her Swarovski eye embellishments were catching the light of the camera flashes. “And the dresses are really beautiful. I float like a feather!” she added of her floor-skimming, ostrich-trimmed dress that, moments later, closed the show.

“I liked the look from Phillip Lim: natural face, almost nothing on the eyes, no mascara—just red lipstick,” Jasek said of the deep oxblood shade. “Usually I don’t like lipsticks, but this one suited me a lot. It was matte, not glossy. I felt elegant but not too elegant—in a good way.”
