Renaissance Skin: A New Era of Beauty at London Fashion Week

Renaissance Skin: A New Era of Beauty at London Fashion Week

Some nights feel like a dream ~ where artistry and alchemy weave together to create something truly extraordinary ~ Annie’s Ibiza’s London Fashion Week show was one of those moments.

Known for her eclectic mix of vintage treasures and innovative designs, Annie’s Ibiza has dressed icons like Kate Moss, Taylor Swift, and Sabrina Carpenter.

This season, founder and creative director Annie Doble looked to the Renaissance, drawing inspiration from its artistic innovation and strength. The collection embodied the fierce spirit of Joan of Arc and the grace of women throughout history, fusing gothic glamour with battle-inspired armour. Silver dresses and metallic accents shimmered like modern-day suits of armour, reinforcing a theme of resilience and beauty. As always, sustainability remained at the heart of Annie’s Ibiza, with designs crafted from deadstock, recycled, vegan, and natural materials ~ proving that couture can be both exquisite and conscious.

As Annie’s exclusive skincare partner, ARgENTUM was there to illuminate and hydrate, bringing healthy skin with colour and life to the runway, creating the perfect canvas for couture to take its final, breathtaking form. It was a beautiful night where creativity knew no bounds, and every detail shimmered with a touch of magic.

The Birth of ‘Renaissance Skin’

A new beauty movement emerged alongside these striking designs ~ ‘Renaissance Skin.’ This new approach embraced colour, life, and health as a departure from the glass-like complexions of previous seasons.

“Annie’s Ibiza and Argentum brought ‘Renaissance Skin’ to the runway at London Fashion Week, kicking off a new trend that leaves ‘glass skin’ in 2024.”

To achieve this living luminous canvas, we turned to la potion infinie ~ our restorative day & night silver cream, le sérum infini ~ our luminous day & night silver serum, and l’eau de jouvence ~ our soothing silver tonic water, all part of our timeless skincare collection.

“Our patented formula is antibacterial and purifying, designed to protect and nourish the skin’s microbiome. It’s all about gently polishing, not stripping.” 

Vera Aruajo, ARgENTUM Skin Expert

This philosophy aligns with our belief that beauty begins with balance ~ supporting the skin’s natural rhythm rather than masking it. It’s all about the glow from within, reflecting light and vitality.

“The professionals behind the look wanted to bring healthy skin to the runway ~ introducing skin with vibrancy and vitality.”

Fashion Meets Alchemy

“It really feels like fashion is our home. We love Annie’s Ibiza, we love the fashion, we love the look. It has this wonderfully ethereal edge to it, and Argentum does too.”

Joy Isaacs, Founder & CEO

For us, skincare is more than preparation; it’s transformation. Just as Annie Doble’s designs reimagine history with modern craftsmanship, we harness silver's power and nature's wisdom to redefine skincare. Annie’s show was a true meeting of minds ~ where beauty and artistry became one and the past and future intertwined.

“It’s about people feeling beautiful, looking their best, and finding a balance that allows them to express themselves in a certain way. And it’s this side of beauty that’s really important to us ~ because it’s about how we feel on the inside and how that projects onto the skin.”

Joy Isaacs, Founder & CEO

A Night to Remember

As models took to the runway, glowing with the vitality of ‘renaissance skin,’ it was clear that something extraordinary had been created: an evolution of beauty that honours both our history and our future.

The evening brought together an audience as captivating as the collection itself, with guests including Tigerlily Taylor, Pixie Geldof, Daphne Guinness, Damian Hurley, Isamaya French, and more… A heartfelt thank you to Annie Doble, the Annie’s Ibiza team, and every creative force who brought this vision to life. This night was more than fashion and skincare ~ it was a shared moment of magic.
