The Another New York Fashion Week came and went. And unlike this spring, which was all about heavy contouring and strobing, we have saw a push for more natural, luminous skin. The looks may be more subdued, but that doesn’t mean you have to put your bronzers and highlighters away quite yet; just use them in a softer manner to enhance your natural glow.
A walk through the LA Flower market was Trina Turk’s inspiration for her Spring 2015 collection. Exploding blooms of poppies influenced her spring line. Brilliant color sprang up in every inch of the show.
Hair accessories, makeup and even the menswear all encompassed intense hues. Viewing her collection gave you the feeling that the sun is shining somewhere. A range of rompers, separates and long breezy dresses graced the presentation. The models seemed to have just stopped in on their way to the beach.
We started Backstage with Beauty.com who worked with Esther Langham on hair using PHYTO products and T3 tools to create perfectly straight hair, and with Jason Araujo who prepped the models skin with Boots NO7 before passing the models to one of our favorite makeup artists, Sarah Lucero for Stila Cosmetics.
The inspiration behind each look was a Californian girl going to the flower market- healthy and fresh. The hair was blow dried straight with volume at the roots using PHYTO Professional Intense Volume Mousse and PHYTO Phytovolume Actif Volumizing and finished off with PHYTO Porfessional Glossing Cream and PHYTO Phytolisse Ultra-Glossing Finishing Serum for that smooth frizz-free hair. They then parted hair in the middle and topped off the look with a headband.
Unlike a lot of California inspired makeup looks we saw at Fashion week Stila incorporated a pop of color in the eyes and the lips. For the eyes they used Stay All Day Waterproof Smudge Stick in Turquoise and Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Carina. Other products that were used to create this look are shown above.
Bursting through the collection was a bright coral chiffon dress with shorts and a magenta jump suit. Vibrant board shorts and blazers were the theme of the menswear. Her collection was resort wear with a touch of sophistication.
