Whatever the edgy, rocker beauty moment that was happening backstage at Rebecca Minkoff I’m completely so into it! From the textured bangs created by Orlando Pita for Tresemme, and intensely hot blacked out, “wide eye wanderlust” eyes by Sarah Lucero for Stila Cosmetics to the edgy negative space chevron manicure by Michelle Saunders for Essie. The entire look was edgy and cool and yet still very natural when it went down the runway.
For the SAUNDER F/W15 collection the designer pays tribute to Henry VII and once again collaborated with accessories designer, Megan Isaacs. Together they brought Tudor themes into contemporary fashion designs. Saunder’s collection mixed feminine and masculine silhouettes and utilized traditional fabrics of tweed and tartan to create romantic looks and tailored jackets and pants. The collection made an abundant use of textures (a big trend were seeing for the season). The accessories encompassed pearls along side studs in gold, silver and gunmetal. The Anglo period was represented throughout the collection in a very modern way. And because we know you can’t stop starring at the makeup the look was created by Mehron Makeup (you can read all about it on their BLOG).

Who’s says “squares are bores?” Certainly, no one starring at the nails at Cushine et Ochs fall/winter show. The look, which was created by Madeline Poole, for Christian Louboutin Beauté was inspired by the colors used throughout the line and to complement the collection with geometrical precision nail art. “I had an intuition we would be using a small square motif,” said Poole. “Michelle and Carly had the clever idea to paint the square appliqués in nail colours that matched the collection.”
Cleopatra met knights in chain mail in Laurel DeWitt’s stunning F/W ’15 runway show. Lanky models strutted down the runway wearing the exquisite metal creations DeWitt is known for.
With less then a week until New York Fashion Week reigns over us, here are the products that help some of our top bloggers friends get through.
Now I know I already posted about Miley Cyrus’ art — which if you have no idea what I’m talking about click HERE. But basically, Miley debuted her art backstage at the Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer Fashion Show and her jewelry collection on the models that went down the runway. And somehow this totally overshadowed what I should have been posting about… the awesome beauty!
For Cynthia Rowley Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Presentation, the designer partnered with Birchbox for the makeup and nails and John Barrett Salon for the hair. As some you know Cynthia Rowley launched an exclusive makeup collection with the subscription beauty box service (who recently opened their first store in Soho and also sells full size product on their website). Led by makeup artist Daniel Martin, he used a variety of the Cynthia Rowley makeup collection, including “The Game Face Eyeshadow Palette”, which
White Hot and Cool Blues permeated Christian Siriano’s Spring Summer 2015 collection. Inspired by the artist Serfio Redegali’s glass sculptures, Christian was thinking about the “effects of transparency”. Each garment had a defined silouette with a specific attention paid to texture. All white designs were the first to parade down the runway. These designs transitioned into a series of cool sea foam green evening wear dresses.
Alice + Olivia is one of those shows I look forward to attending every season — and it never disappoints! Stacey Bendet’s attention to detail and captivating creating a world around her collection is just further testament to her designer eye. For this year the inspiration was the beauty of Versailles represented by royally waking up from a dream in Paris. And we see this parisian princess come to life in a modern way with a chic braided silk chignon created by Michael Duenas for Schwarzkopf Professional (see how to tutorial HERE) and makeup created by Sara Lucero, Stila’s Global Director of Creative Artistry.
For this dream Lucero wanted etherial glowy skin, doll-like cheeks, dreamy eyes and kiss-stained lips (see product references above).
Nails, created by Rita Remart for Essie included one of the shades: a custom lilac, soft peach and a vibrant coral depending on the models outfit.
Flowy skirts, vintage prints, stunning bead work and incredible accessories reigned on at the beautifully crafted presentation. Take a look:
Backstage at Mara Hoffman, the hair stole the show! With an inspiration of the California girl at Joshua Tree, outdoors absolved in the chic by dryness elements of the desert, Nick Irwin, CATWALK by TIGI Global Creative Director created a unique messy, deconstructed braid that had even me wanting to get extensions to pull this look off. The key to creating that texture came from using CATWALK by TIGI Transforming Dry Shampoo on dry hair and blasting it with the blow dryer to create that matte texture.
