New York Fashion Week Beauty: Revlon for J Mendel
Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, celebrated girlish, natural beauty with matte brown eyes and nude lips for J Mendel’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection. “I wanted to create a look that is universally beautiful, that any girl would want to wear.” says Westman. “Because the collection has so many bold and bright colors and patterns, I kept it pretty simple and fresh. I started with a muted brown shadow on the eyes, lined the inner rim, then added mascara to both the top and bottom lashes to make the eyes pop. A warm flush of peach on the cheeks and a simple glossy lip rounded out the look.”
For a classic meets modern look, celebrity manicurist, Jin Soon Choi chose a timeless nude color for the hands and paired it with something more unexpected and fun on the toes. Choi used bright red, purple and pink on the toes, depending on the model.
New York Fashion Week: Marchesa Spring/Summer 2013
Marchesa designer, Georgina Chapman and co-founder, Keren Craig presented their Spring 2013 collection yesterday at the historical Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal during New York Fashion Week. Drawing from the spirit of India in the 1960s, highlighted by the Beatles’ experience with the Maharishi, Marchesa’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection was composed of brightly colored paisleys and brocades of rich fabrics and intricate beadwork.
Bold garnets, fuchsias, teals, corals and Indian pink paraded across the runway exposing delicate hand embroidery and lace underlays. The Indian inspired collection featured flowing dresses adorned with jeweled embellishments and paired with gladiator sandals and kitten heels, a nod to the iconic styles of the sixties. Using traditional Indian techniques, silhouettes are embellished with pearls, crystals, gold leaf detailing and delicate silk fringe cascades. Each gown is immersed in elegantly draped sari weaves and lace over pleated tulle.
New York Fashion Week Beauty: CND for The Blonds
CND continues to work on the most intriguing nail looks of New York Fashion Week, and last night, for The Blonds "Psycho Beach Party" show, manicurist Kristina Estabrooks crafted an array of elaborately detailed nails including Shark Bites, skinny dip blue, and red caviar over CND Colour in Blackjack. Cue the Jaws soundtrack now.
For more of my favorite manicures from the Spring/Summer '13 collections, see my prior posts on CND for Rodarte, Angel Sanchez, Joy Cioci, Nicole Miller and Diego Binetti.
New York Fashion Week Beauty: CND for Rodarte
At yesterday's Rodarte show, CND Nail Artist Michele Huynh designed staggeringly complex "Modern Medieval" manicures by weaving strips of custom blended and mattefied CND Colours in Desert Suede, Frosting Cream and Chocolate Milk over a base blend of high shine CND Colours in Desert Suede and Frosting Cream. Each nail tip required fifteen minutes to hand-detail - and the 30 total sets of nails for the show took 150+ hours to create - perhaps not exactly suited to DIY (but gorgeous none the less!)
New York Fashion Week Beauty: Odile Gilbert for Kérastase Paris at The Row
Stylist extraordinaire Odile Gilbert for Kérastase Paris created a gorgeously elegant twisted up-do for today's presentation of The Row's Spring 2013 collection. “I think this is about the [designers’] identity,” Gilbert told WWD, “it’s cool hair — but always a bit under control.”
To get the look:
- Prep damp hair with Ciment Thermique and Mousse Volumactive
- Rough dry hair, wrapping strands around fingers as you go
- Divide hair into two sections behind each ear
- Twist each section in a backwards direction and then begin twisting and pinning them together
- Tie the twists with an elastic, tucking the ends underneath the style and pinning into place
- Fluff up the texture at the top of the head with fingers and lightly spray with Double Force Hairspray for hold
New York Fashion Week: CND for Angel Sanchez
At yesterday's Angel Sanchez show, CND's Shelena Robinson created coolly feminine French manicures with contrasting shiny/matte finish (the only tolerable French manicure imaginable, let's be honest).
The lighter section of the nail was a custom blend of CND Colours in Blueberry Whip, Tutu, Cream Washed and CND Additives in Pink Shimmer, and the darker edge of the nail was created with CND Colours in Blueberry Whip, Tutu, Eclectic Purple, and Raspberry Plunge. This nail accentuated flushed pink cheeks and the color palette in the collection.
I love that it's feminine yet edgy at the same time, in large part due to the matte texture - definitely one of my favorite nail looks to date from the Spring/Summer '13 shows.
New York Fashion Week Beauty: CND for Joy Cioci
Bathing beauties reigned supreme at yesterday's Joy Cioci Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week show. CND's Candice Manacchio mimicked underwater bubbles on manicures using micro-beads and small pearls for a delicate and dimensional texture. To recreate at home, apply top coat and dip nail into beads (try pouring beads into a flat bowl or dipping each nail directly into the tube). Toes were shimmering champagne with CND Colour in Putty topped with reflective CND Gold Pearl Effect.
New York Fashion Week Beauty: NARS for Joy Cioci
NARS, led by International Lead Makeup Stylist Uzo, created the look for yesterday's Joy Cioci Spring '13 New York Fashion Week runway show. “The look is ‘mermaid meets the 1920s.’ Part vintage. Part fantasy," said Uzo. "Eyes are bathed in shades of shimmering ocean blue. Cheeks are glistening in silvery pearl. The lips and its' cupid bow are dramatized in soft pink.”
