New York Fashion Week Spring 2008
Love it or Hate It? White Winged Eyeliner at BCBG
On Wednesday afternoon, the highly anticipated BCBG Spring 2008 show took center stage in the Bryant Park tents. FabSugar seemed to be smitten by the clothing, but I'm not entirely sold on the makeup choice to match. Here are a couple of pictures of the pretty Jessica Stam from before and during the show.
Backstage Beauty: Mara Hoffman
Last night, Fab and I were transported to the Tropics—if only mentally—at the Mara Hoffman show. While Fab chatted with the designer herself, I trotted backstage to chat with the hair and makeup teams. (Yep, that's the actual backstage area!)
While watching the models get done up, I chatted with hair stylist Sandra Yu.
Backstage Beauty: Peter Som
While FabSugar attended the Peter Som fashion show last season, they were unable to make it on this trip—but that's okay. BellaSugar's got the goods on how to create the sexy, tousled hair from this season's Spring 2008 show.
The goal of lead hairstylist Eugene Souleiman was to have runway hair that looked fresh, young and natural, with a slight edge.
Backstage Beauty: VPL
Last week, our FabSugar team attended the VPL Spring 2008 Fashion Show. While the clothing was sheer and chic, and the makeup was pretty and plain, the hair was va va voom!
While most of us do whatever we can to fight the frizzies, hairstylist extraordinaire Neil Moodie, created a wild, crimped 'do that made those frizzies, kinda flattering.
Backstage Beauty: Alice + Olivia
Earlier this week, Fab reviewed the Alice + Olivia spring line, while Yum reported on the yummy cupcakes that were served. And now I've got the scoop on the models' hair. The theme of the show was Alice in Wonderland, and it was held at the NYC boutique as opposed to a ballroom or the Bryant Park Tents.Backstage Beauty: JustSweet
Yesterday afternoon, Jennifer Lopez debuted her new clothing line called JustSweet during New York Fashion Week. The clothes are slightly younger and hipper than her previous Sweetface collections. (Check out Fab's review.) I think it's cute, but as I was looking at the pictures, I realized that I had flipped through them a few times without even noticing anything other than the makeup.
Backstage Beauty: Thakoon
On Friday afternoon, Thakoon unveiled its Spring 2008 collection. The theme of the show was a narrative about a young girl who ventures from the city to Hawaii to seek out a more resort-y and relaxed style of clothing and makeup. Gucci Westman, the famous makeup artist who styled the show using Lancome products, envisioned a stylish Japanese surfer girl for the look.
Backstage Beauty: Charlotte Ronson
Last night at the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2008 Fashion Show, the beauty look was contemporary and sophisticated yet girlie—just like the designer's clothing.
Makeup was done by the famed and fancy British artist Charlie Green who used only Flirt! Cosmetics.
Love It or Hate It? Tight 'Tails and Nude Faces at Josh Goot
Greetings from New York Fashion Week, everyone! The shows officially started this morning, but a few designers went ahead of the crowd and showed last night. You should have seen Fab at last night's Josh Goot show—she is just crazy for his dresses.
How-To: Purposely Messy Updos
Y'know, usually when I think of rock stars, I think of long hair flying around stage. But at tonight's Fashion Rocks event, most of the revelers had their hair pulled up. Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Esposito and Mischa Barton were among the women who went with a messy, imperfect updo—which is exactly the kind of stylish but unfussy look you'd want to wear at a music-meets-fashion event.
