NYFW: A Walk Through the Flower Market at Trina Turk SS2015 Presentation

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.Stila pop art perfection at Trina Turk SS15

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.

NYFW: Caught in a Daydream at Charlotte Ronson SS2015 Show

Backstage at Charlotte Ronson Spring/Summer 2015 collection, the nails stole the show! Lead nail artist Miss Pop for OPI showed us a fun way to do nail art by showing off some of your natural nail by creating a nail look showcasing negative space, with alternating cutout half moon shapes.

To complement the collection’s feminine color palette, Miss Pop used OPI pastel mint shade That’s Hula-rious! (Launching February 2015) on the hands and for the feet she used shade Bubble Bath with the addition of a fun daisy on the big toe. (Both manicure and pedicure looks were prepped with OPI Base Coat and finished with OPI Top Coat.)

NYFW: Saudner Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation

Saunder Spring/Summer 2015 collectionSaunder‘s spring collection is inspired the song “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” by Iron Butterfly. She worked around the concept of a rock-and-roll Garden of Eden. The collection featured bright florals and ladylike fabrics combined with edgy details and saucy prints. Her rocker Eves dainty dresses were offset by structured moto jackets, sequined booties, and dresses and jewelry featuring a prescription pill motif. Neons colors and borrowed-from-the-boys silhouettes also brought an edge to her spring line. Beehive-inspired hair and bright, pouty makeup wraps the whole presentation up in a 1960s vibe.

For me fashion week kicked off two weeks ago with an invitation to attend fitness brand, Athleta’s debut fashion show titles a Crush of Adrenaline. Dressing the part, I geared up in my sporty blues in what was easily the most comfortable ensemble I’ve ever worn to a show (more outfit pics on my other blog, inhisclothes.com).

Yesterday, we kicked off New York Fashion Week with the Dannijo Spring/Summer 2015 Collection. While we’re used to a beautiful glitzy jewel assortment from the two sisters Danielle Snyder and her sister Jodie Snyder, this collection was much more tribal with a native american influence in the decor.

A Day in the Life at New York Fashion Week with Glam.com {Sponsored}

Have you met my friend Bianca? She’s the editorial director at Glam.com, and people think, I’m everywhere, well I’ve got nothing on her! (Although in all fairness I did see her pretty much everyday during New York Fashion Week).

NYFW: A Beauty Like Nun Other – Backstage at Thom Browne Fall/Winter 2014

Thom Browne Nun look

If there’s one thing we can count on from Thom Browne, it’s a lot of drama and originality and this show was no exception.  The collection was a visual hymn of Victorian-inspired garments imparted with exaggerated proportions and more delicately concealed details than the walls of a confessional.  Inspired by a darker, wicked woman of the church, the hair and make-up production backstage was much more than a sisterly act.

NYFW: Dipped in Gold – A Desert Gypsy Treasure Backstage at Mara Hoffman Fall/Winter 2014 Collection

maraHnyfw2014

Famed make-up artist Alice Lane for Maybelline lead the makeup team for the Mara Hoffman Fall/Winter 2014 show creating a look that captured the spirit of a nomadic desert nymph.  The collection was comprised of rich, printed fabrics saturated with striking colors and even though the look called for heavy liner, these runway Romany were easy on the eyes.
