Spotlight on...Hair & Makeup at the Tents #NYFW

Alexander Wang:

Inspired by Brooke Shields, circa 1982.

Eyebrows drawn upward, extensions woven into BIG braid.

If this doesn't spark a side braid revolution, I don't know what will....

DVF:

ethereal makeup, virgin, crimped locks {sans products!}

Derek Lam, inspired by:

Coney Island, Helmut Newton

{Coney Island inspiring NYFW? Love it!}

Narcisco Rodriguez:

statement hair...

Carolina Herrera:

beaded hairpieces woven into low updos.

Marc Jacobs:

NARS makeup, goth-ballerina-cabaret girl glamour.

What appears to be a major discussion backstage...

"But what does the MODEL think???"

Sui, Swoon!

Anna Sui's Spring 2010 collection was a far cry from a clown show.

Her big top theme included braided jackets,

clever plaids & fab patterns.

And, of course, there were the tights....

have you ever in your life seen anything like these?

{reminds me of a beautiful henna tattoo}

I can't get enough of her color palette:

purples, blues, greens.

just divine.

Would you wear this plaid number?

Not sure if I could, but Lily makes it look damn good!

How sweet is this look?

too much is never enough...

Tracy Reese {Best Served HOT}

How gorgeous is this entire line?

I'm gonna have a really hard time not buying

everything this Spring...but on a student's budget

I'm sure I will figure it out...

love.

Zac Attack! {Rehashed by R. Zoe}

Imagine for a second, I'm Rachel Zoe. I know, it's a stretch.

So, this morning I wake up and haul a$$ to the Zac Posen show.

I vowed to never be late again after the smear campaign proceeding the MJ show last year.

I pounce up the steps, blinded by flashing lights, clutching Brad's arm, tight.

He's squealing like a schoolgirl, still gushing over Wasson, Ronson & Lam.

We shimmy over to the front row:

air kiss to Lagerfeld, smile at Ashley O, glare at Bethenny.

The lights dim. The music starts. The silhouette of the first model appears.

AND.I.DIE!!!

Is this not the most unbelievable collection you have ever seen?

DIE.

Just, fu&$ing DIE.


flowers & hearts & lips.

OH MY!

Standing ovation.

Zac, you fu%&ing hit it out of the park.

We will be seeing you a LOT this year.

Get used to me.

xo,

RZ
