Fashion is cyclical – old styles are constantly becoming new again.

However, Desigual is capitalizing on the trends of the present with their show at New York Fashion Week that featured models wearing real-life versions of Snapchat filters.

MAC's Senior Vice President of Global Artist Training, Development and Makeup Artistry Gordon Espinet designed all the Snapchat looks for Desigual's show.

We are placing our bets now that a Desigual competitor will be using Instagram Stories features for their fashion show.
