NYFW: Back Stage Cynthia Rowley x Dermelect

3.15.2014

Backstage during Fashion Week I couldn’t help but be obsessed by these rainbow fun nails created by Celebrity Manicurist Elle for Dermelect ‘ME’ at the Cynthia Rowley Fall Presentation. Elle explains Cynthia’s key word for describing her inspiration of the collection was ‘moonbows’, a reflection on the romanticism of her sporty chic line for the Fall 2014 season. Elle took Cynthia’s vision and created her version of the moonbow. Representing a rainbow of darker shades not using any primary colors.  For the look Elle layered two shades from the same color family on one nail, beginning with a dark red to orange, yellow, green, indigo and purple to achieve the perfect ‘moonbow’.

Fave Looks: Chris Benz Fall 12

8.14.2012

Getting in the mood for fall, especially in a festive way when it comes to this collection by Chris Benz. With glittery pieces and oversized bows in the mix. Proper lady meets nightclub extraordinaire. The collection as a whole glamorized a time-period where it was all about the art of dressing up.  I couldn’t help but be smitten with all the reds, yellows, and oranges mixed with creams and beiges. Adding a contemporary twist to tea length dresses to make them feel new again.  A great deal of mixing of textures, where exquisite fabrics such as leathers, tweets met the ultimate fancy of tulle and sequins.  The outfits were styled in somewhat of a disorderly way, as if the lady herself spent hours and hours planning her outfit. But then all of a sudden she looked at the clock and it was time to go! And nothing but to throw on her clothes and run out to her fancy dinner date. And yet still look extremely splendid indeed.   What I love about this collection is how Benz took these elegant ladies and added some whit and quirky amusement.
