New York Fashion Week Monique Lhullier, Jenny Packham, Proenza Schouler, Pamella Roland, Victoria Beckham

For Monique Lhullier's luxurious and feminine fall/winter 2011 collection, the hair and make-up look was doll meets punk. Make-up artist Val Garland for MAC created a deep purple smoky eye, intense brows and berry-colored lips. Odile Gilbert for Kérastase created a doll-like, haute-couture updo, with ribbon-like curls topped off with a black bow.

Jenny Packham's feminine and fun autumn / winter 2011 collection included textured and delicate pieces, flowing gowns and beautiful metallic embroidery. The color palate featured nude, black and brown tones. The makeup and hair was very soft, romantic and nymph-like: Talia Shobrook for Temptu created frosted eyelids, warm, peachy cheeks and applied a soft coral color to the lips. Leonardo Mannetti of Community NYC for L'Oreal created long, flowing hair with soft waves, echoing Botticelli's Venus.

Jack McCulloch and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler took inspiration from Native American blankets purchased on a road trip from Santa Fe to Wyoming as the starting point for their Fall/Winter 2011 collection.
Strong geometry and homespun fabrics took on a complex sophistication and became the foundation for a brightly colored, bold and inventive show. Brilliant!

New York Fashion Week F/W 2011 Farah Angsana

This is gorgeous!

"70's Glam" was the inspiration for the make-up looks at Farah Angsana's Fall 2011 collection.

Make-up artist Tara Drake brought the look to life by creating a dark, smoky eye, with eyelash extensions to add more drama and bright, red lips- reminiscent of Debbie Harry.

Makeup was provided by Make Up For Ever, MAC, Bobbi Brown and Nars. The models' hair was twisted, pinned and hairsrayed into retro, 1960's mod beehives.
Do you just love it???

New York Fashion Week F/W 2011 Rag & Bone

At Rag & Bone Fall Winter 2011. Makeup: Revlon’s Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, paired a smoky eye with sun burnt skin for the Rag & Bone Fall 2011 collection, bringing forth the designer’s vision of an urban Eskimo.

Behnaz Sarafpour's fall/winter 2011 collection was exquisite.




 A completely neutral color palette was offset by beautifully deconstructed, slightly messy hair, and soft makeup ehanced by a moody, smoky eye. I'm not 100% certain, but it looks like Gucci Westman designed this lovely makeup look too.

New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 Mara Hoffman

This exotic and mysterious collection of floor sweeping dresses and Peruvian knits, tribal prints, hooded gowns and chunky separates was both powerful and alluring.

Intricate details such as braiding and tassels met with turbans and a bohemian/tribal mix of bronze jewelery were perfectly offset by soft messy hair, glowing skin and a middle eastern nod with a kohled black eye.

And the finger tips!

This was one of those collections that stops you in your tracks. I want it all!

Check out the review (with fabulous pictures) from The Clothes Whisperer

and the interview on FabTV

New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 Libertine

The Libertine Show was one of my favorites so far. Bold, exciting colors, fun prints and some really fabulous pieces. Dresses reminiscent of the Kennedy era, hitting just above the knee, full coats with movement - the cuts were classic and clean, but the colors and prints made them so modern and alive.
Makeup Forever artist Lottie Stannard designed the makeup around a strong, bold eye and a soft yet strong hued lip.

New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 #2



Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock took inspiration from 90's music for their fall/winter 2011 runway show. Specifically Veruca Salt, Elastica, The Breeders and Fiona Apple.
Grunge lengths paired with cropped tops had some fairly unflattering cuts, but the long dresses were pretty cool.


Eva Minge showed some bold pops of color. I loved the makeup and the softly pulled back hair.

New York Fashion Week F/W 2011 HIghlights Day 1


At Tadashi Shoji, makeup was created by Luc Bouchard for MAC

Christian Siriano took inspiration from plant life, in particular dark black orchids, also known as Dracula Orchids.
 He premiered his 5 inch platform shoes, which will be available at Payless (??)
Hair and makeup were somewhat bland.


At Luca Luca there was an infusion of bright color, in winter based golds and burnt oranges. Hair was pulled back in soft buns, makeup artist Gucci Westman showed bold brows, contoured eyes and full, bright lips.

For fall 2011 Richard Chai Love showed looks inspired by menwear. Pieces in creams and grays dominated his runway with oversized trousers, blazers and coats as the essentials.
Ruffled blouses, silk tanks and metallic embroidery gave the feminine touch.
