When I first saw the display of nail lacquer bottles in Borghese’s new Spring 2010 nail lacquer collection, which is aptly dubbed Fashionista as it was inspired by some of the more alluring nail color shades spotted on runways in Milan during their Spring 2010 shows last fall.
Many have tried to capture the intrinsic olfactory beauty of the rose blossom, but few have been as successful as Stella McCartney, who struck gold with her STELLA Eau de Parfum.
Between the incessant Seattle-like rain, the New Hampshire-esque snowstorms that have shut down the public transportation system in cities like Philadelphia, and the bone-chilling cold everywhere from Chicago to New York City, this winter has seemed particularly bitter and positively endless.
Ever tried a product and wondered how on Earth no one came up with this before?
In a sea of conformity and bottom line-driven designs, you can always count on Alexandre Herchcovitch to restore a sense of adventurousness and unbridled creativity to the runway.
Going into the backstage area for the Tracy Reese Fall 2010 show, which was held on Monday, February 15th at New York City’s Bryant Park, I knew to expect ultra feminine makeup and hair looks — but, since that’s quite a broad spectrum, I was curious to see exactly how that girlish charm would be manifested.
Dark eyes and nude lips have been ruling the runway for Fall 2010, though there have been various iterations of this combination.
It’s the theatricality of fashion shows, the performance art element woven into each presentation, that always lures me in, enticing me to look closer — it’s what makes my eyes twinkle with excitement, and what stamps a show into my memory bank (or, in the case, of those more lackluster shows, allows them to ebb away into oblivion hours after the finale walk).
My absolute favorite makeup and hair look thus far were conceived for the Vena Cava Fall/Winter 2010 show held yesterday afternoon at Milk Studios in New York City.
Full disclosure: I’m not fond of Kim Kardashian.
