Farewell Bryant Park

New York Fashion Week is over and with it goes the Bryant Park Tents.  Come September the shows will move to Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park, a space that is expected to hold almost twice the amount of the tents.  Bryant Park has been hosting fashion week since 1993.  I had the pleasure of attending my first show in 2003, when I volunteered as an usher.  Oh how times have changed in the past 7 years, but the excitement of opening the doors into the tents never did. Bryant Park you will be missed!

NEW Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Post by Anny Deirmenjian

Although suitable for all skin types (and ages), for someone with extremely sensitive skin, I found the Midnight Recovery Concentrate by Kiehl’s to be a miracle product. Considering my skin is prone to break outs, which can be caused by anything from change of season, water temperature to switching moisturizers, I was apprehensive but decided to give it a try anyway.

After cleansing, I applied 2 drops (2-3 drops is the recommended dosage) of the concentrate to my face and noticed it immediately absorbed effortlessly into skin (make sure to evenly distribute the formula, and pat into skin, do not rub). The next morning, my skin felt tighter, softer, and more hydrated; my pores appeared smaller and the best part – no breakouts! Not only is the scent of lavender and geranium wonderful and relaxing, this nourishing, paraben-free elixir consists of a complete blend of botanical oils (lipids) and natural essential oils (those important Omegas).  They help improve the skin – rejuvenating and hydrating while you

Pretty Connected Backstage at Alexandre Herchcovitch

Post by Melissa Udoff

Inspired by the new Eastern European woman (from countries like The Republic of Georgia), hair stylist Rolando Beauchamp for Bumble and bumble, used buns, braids, and headscarves in bold colors to bring designer Alexandre Herchovitch’s vision to life.  “Alexandre was deeply influenced by director Sergev Parajanov and his film ‘The Color of Pomegranates’. Parajanov was highly controversial and was even jailed for a time in the ‘70’s,” noted Beauchamp.

Using Bumble and bumble, Beauchamp prepared locks with ‘White Hair Powder’.  He first sectioned hair from ear to ear and used the back section to create a bun.  On the side sections he braided random, small sections of hair and secured them with a small elastic being sure to slightly pull on the side of the braids to create a more textured look.  Some braids were left to hang and others were tucked into the bun.  Non-braided sections were flat ironed.  The whole look was secured with ‘Does It All’ for hold, and then adorned with a colorful scarf.
