We’ve all been well informed that this season is ALL about color. From super bold shades to ultra subdued hues, it’s not what you wear, it’s the colors you wear it in! The clear favorite from the crayon box this season was yellow, especially blinding shades of day-glo neon - which illuminated just about every spring runway show. To keep from looking like a walking highlighter, take a cue from fashion big-wigs like ThreeasFour, Nanette Lepore, and Phillip Lim, and tame your blaring yellow ensembles with subdued separates in neutral shades. The blending is so harmonious, designers are now removing the middle man and creating single pieces using these contrasting tones. Check out my SLIDESHOW for awesome ways to get your neon+neutral on!
I already know what you’re thinking… blue eyeshadow is so seventies, right? Cheap, not chic? Well read on, because blue is here to stay and there is most definitely a blue eyeshadow, eyeliner or mascara for you!
This season, blue eye makeup was a staple on the runways, practically becoming the new black for many makeup artists, who often used deep indigo eyeliner in lieu of harsher blacks. The result? A softer, more mysterious appeal… which puts your eyes front and center without making them appear overdone. Models at Zac Posen, Tommy Hilfiger and Narisco Rodriguez all sported variations of this look and made it work magnificently with nude, matte red and rosebud pink lips. It’s rumored that wearing a blue eyeliner also makes tired and red eyes look brighter, whiter and more awake. Trust me… it’s true! Kate Hudson and Katie Holmes were recently spotted wearing this trend on their lower lash-lines.
Nothing excited me more than hearing a high-end designer will be creating an affordable collection- seriously, nothing! If you’re like me, then you’ll be thrilled to hear about all the amazing designers collaborating with The Gap on limited edition capsule collections. Rumors about a ThreeasFour collaboration have been circulating for some time and not only did we finally get a confirmation on that one, but the names of the rest of the big-timers getting in on the Capsule action has been revealed. Click over to Fashionista.com for the full list and when and where you can get your hands on the goods.
There are 15 minutes to go before the threeASFOUR Fall 2008 show in as smallish Chelsea New York Fashion Week venue. There’s a blonde fashion editor to Anna Wintour‘s left, chatting amiably. There’s a brunette to her right, in a striped scarf. Anna sits between them, topped in her blonde-streaked helmet bob, red shirt, brooch, and mink stole. She chats with the scarf. She glances about the room. Until the show starts, she is the show, and she knows it.
The amazing threeASFOUR fall collection premiered at New York Fashion Week on Saturday (our review will follow when we get runway pics), but the premiere that really had heads turning was that of Sean Lennon‘s apparent new girlfriend, a mystery, raven-haired vixen that had everyone kind of ambling around in Sean’s general vicinity trying to figure out, um, who is she? My grainy iPhone camera shot isn’t doing her justice (I told my wife this woman was the second most attractive woman I had ever seen), so I want to throw this out to the community: does anyone know who she is? The photogs there had never seen her, I have never seen her - have you? Leave your guesses or tips in Comments!
