Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SS 2013: Backstage at Creatures of the Wind

September 11, 2012

Makeup by NARS for Creatures of the Wind SS 2013

Kicking off Mercedes-Benz Fashion week, I was able to go backstage of Creatures of the Wind at Milk Studios to get a closer look at all the Nars products being used for the show! Nars Director of Global Artistry, James Boehmer, schooled us on the colors and techniques used for the show. Boehmer said the inspiration for the theme came from a “Japanese Godzilla movie”, which he further explained to be an idea of “a monstrous beauty”.

Boehmer explained how the products he used created a simple look that was “not too made up and not too heavy”, because of the emphasis they wanted on the hair and clothes. For him, the look was all about illumination, balance, and softness. As Boehmer demonstrated on a model, he explained the Nars products and colors he used.

-Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

-Nars Lipstick in “Fire Down Below”, applied just in the center of the lips

-Nars Mascara on top and bottom lashes

-Nars smudge-proof eyeshadow base

-Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in “Damned”, applied on the eyelids

For hair, the models were all styled with Keratase products for a straight look with an origami inspiration. All models had pin straight hair, prepped with hairspray and a flat iron.

For nails, models wore Essie’s “Topless and Barefoot”, a solid rosy beige sealed with their “Matte About You ” as a top coat.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SS 2013: Monika Chiang Presentation

September 9, 2012

Although crowded and hectic, the Spring/Summer 2013 Monika Chiang presentation at Lincoln Center was exciting and inspiring. When the doors opened and let everyone in at once, we pushed and shoved to the front to get a better look at the collection. Spring colors, chunky heels and baseball caps are just a few to mention.

Each model had simple, slicked hair and natural make up from Lancome. As the DJ in the room played M83’s “Midnight City”, all guests in the room flocked, phones and cameras in the air to see how close we could get to the models. The collection can be described as structured chic, with a twist of sporty! Drawstring silk pants, crisp spring colors and a touch of leather is what made the collection unique.

Accesories consisted of statement necklaces, simple bags, chunky heels and baseball caps, which suprisingly fit the theme of the collection. Strucuted and tailored jackets and shirts complimented the simple and chic pieces perfectly.

The designer said she was “inspired by traveling”, which is evident in this edgy-meets-sportswear collection. The clothes and accesories for Spring2013 were athletic with a touch of glam, which is so undeniably cool.

It’s channeling Natalie Wood from the early 60s at the famous Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados,” said Uzo, NARS International Lead Makeup Stylist. “The skin is fair and flawless. Brows are lightly filled in to look somewhat messy but natural.
