M∙A∙C Senior Artist Chantel Miller designed the spectacular Maori-inspired geometric tattoo makeup seen on the runway at the Rodarte Spring/Summer 2010 runway show this week.

Working in close collaboration with designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy and key makeup artist James Kaliardos (for M∙A∙C), Miller created the full-sleeve, half-sleeve and neck tattoo designs, which were meant to evoke the feeling of a futuristic tribe, over the course of 4 weeks.

The morning of the show, Chantel, who specializes in body painting, spent 4 intensive hours with a team of 40 artists hand painting the elaborate body art. Each model received a customized combination of the designs depending on which look they were wearing in the show.

This is undoubtedly among my very fave looks of the season thus far...what say you?
