March 25, 2002/ FW/ --- The Douglas Hannant woman for Fall 2002 is intriguing, glamorous and modern.

How do you translate that to the models faces?

Give them a clean, polished look and shade their faces with bangs or headband, as in the case with Alek Wek.

In short, give them "a perfect face." Beautiful and open, yet the eyes tell a different story.

They will give you a smile, yet the eyes remain shaded and you wonder what she is really thinking.

"The eyes are the mirror of the soul," a poet once said.

The eyes are not hidden, just a little hard to see, and even if you can see it, a little hard to read.

You wonder about the woman, you wonder about the clothes.

Is she what she is wearing, or is it part of the whole mystery.

She is modern, yet intriguing. Glamourous, yet she can be the girl next door with her clean, polished look.

The modern day Mona Lisa...
