Harvey Nichols Birmingham Spring Fashion Show

I am really excited about the newest addition to Harvey Nichols cosmetic department. A stunning, baroque face adornment that seems to have been inspired by the gothic beauty of iconic ladies Daphne Guinness and Lady Gaga, Face Lace is an unusual way to make sure all eyes are on you.
