I still stand by my opinion that brown is the new black for Spring 2012 (see Donna Karan), but the last couple of shows have been all about bright pops and deep hues! Whether it be hotter-than-hot hot pink lips or rosy cheeks with colorful head-toppers, it’s hard not to smile when seeing so much color. Now whether or not these saturated shades will translate into “real” women’s lives come next season, that’s another story…What do you think about these looks?
1. Colored hair at Thakoon: I don’t think most of us will be coloring our hair anything close to this shade anytime soon, but it made for great runway looks.
2. Chocolate lips and stringent hair at Donna Karan: One of my favorite looks! Just goes to show that brown can be wearable and sophisticated.
3. Slightly unpolished up-dos at Diane von Furstenberg: A perfect, not-so-perfect hairdo.
4. Retro curls and hot pink lips at Betsey Johnson: I don’t know what was more over-the-top, the outfits or the beauty look. Either way they both made for an entertaining show.
5. Rosy cheeks at Marc by Marc Jacobs: If MJ has his way we’re saying adios to headbands and hello to rosy cheek and visors. I’m in! Too bad these visors didn’t come out in time for the U.S. Open…
