KT Auleta’s beauty film explores the theatrical red features created by makeup artist Pat McGrath and hair stylist Luigi Murenu. In KT Auleta’s beauty film, the models seem to be scarlet-faced soldiers in training for a war against beauty. All of the models' faces are painted red, creating "a group to crusade" the designers' line. The models come together as a powerful fashionable force of warriors in the battlefield of beauty, which worked well with Viktor & Rolf's collection of [armor-like silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection) and styles.
