Vera Wang Fall/Winter 2012
Rodarte A/W 2012 NYFW
Rodarte Autumn/Winter 2012
was a broad and diverse showing of
spectacular pieces.
 |
| Rodarte A/W 2012 |
From 40's influenced tailoring, shapely coats,
sheath dresses and pretty florals,
there was a solid concentration on daywear and separates,
with pieces that real girls can wear every day.

The slick sheath dresses were to die for.

This collection could well herald a strong business move for the Mulleavy sisters,
as they move to a clientele that needs more than just a party or event dress.
Love it.

Makeup At Marc Jacobs A/W 2012
Once again the iconic Marchesa Luisa Casati provided inspiration for a runway show.

Casati's crazed debauchery in the 1920's is endlessly interesting,
and has inspired many incredible editorials as well as shows.
Such great material to draw from.
The look for the Marc Jacobs runway show during New York Fashion Week Fall 2012 was created by Nars .
MAKEUP INSPIRATION & LOOK: “Marc didn’t want the makeup look to be too couture, and with the hats by Steven Jones framing the face as they did, we needed to focus on one aspect,” said NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars. “We created really fresh, radiant skin, no blush, and a heavily lined lower eye. The shape is round and a cloudy color, taking reference from 1920s Italian style icon and muse Marchesa Casati.”
LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, NARS Founder & Creative Director. MAKEUP TREND: Luminous skin with a dramatic eye.

Marc Jacobs F/W 2012 Puts The Fun Back Into Fashion!
How deliriously, madly quirky is this??
Marc Jacobs put the fun back into fashion
with his Fall/Winter 2012 RTW show.
More of a spectacular than a siren song to the buyers,
the 15 minute show featured crazy-huge hats
non-body-conscious shapes,
was anti-sexy, anti establishment,
and wickedly fun.
Individual pieces will mesh perfectly into the modern wardrobe,
with opulent fabrics in fun shades of vibrant
greens, lavenders, ochers, reds and pinks.
Some of the coats and jackets were spectacular.
A slightly Victorian feel theatrically merged
with Dr Seuss-like sensibilities
set to "Who Will Buy" from Oliver!,
including a version by Nancy Sinatra.
Marc Jacobs. Brilliant. Again.
NYFW Fall/Winter 2012 Update
I'm way behind on New York Fashion Week posting
due to my crazy shoot schedule.
February is always a busy, busy month.
Anyway, here is a recap of some of NYFW
At Tommy Hilfiger there was a distinctly equestrian feel.
Behnaz Sarafpour worked both a feminine silhouette and a structured form
At Catherine Malandrino
some very sheer fabrics for fall

Always one of my favorites, Victoria Beckham celebrated an intensely
feminine form, long and lean with a nipped in waist.
At times with a slightly military feel,
with solid color blocking,
the collection was entirely wearable.
At red carpet favorite Carmen Marc Valvo
it was full on glamour,
intensely beautiful.
Hair was slicked back and complimented by
a full, smoky eye and a soft mouth.

NYFW Beauty Diane Von Furstenburg Fall/Winter 2012
Diane Von Furstenberg's Fall/Winter 2012 seductive, bold and daring collection appropriately titled "Rendezvous," called for deep smoky eyes, perfect nude skin, defined brows and a rose lip. To create a strong, confident and feminine look, the hair was shiny with a deep side part, tightly gathered in a low chignon.

NYFW Beauty at L.A.M.B Fall/Winter 2012
For L.A.M.B's Fall 2012 Swinging Sixties collection, Charlotte Willer for Maybelline New York created an avant-garde, fun take on the classic cat eye.
Drawing a thick line along the lash line with Eye Studio Cream Pencil, and a second one in the crease. The resulting look was playful and quirky.
Willer exaggerated the lower lash line by painting on eyelashes with Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner and finished off the look with Falsies Mascara.
