Men’s Fall/Winter 2013: Making It Modern
After such a strong season in London, Milan, and Paris, I didn’t know what to expect in New York. Little did I know that my expectations would be blown away, especially with all the young talent. With five collections that caught my eye, I’m looking forward to growing my closet in a few short months.
New York Fashion Week Beauty Trend: The Low Ponytail

New York Fashion Week Beauty Recap VII
Rodarte: I really didn’t like this season’s Rodarte collection, but I love the hair Kerastase created. Odile Gilbert described it as “rocker princess with a cool, “undone” texture.” That rosette! Marc by Marc Jacobs: It was old Hollywood glam with a popping red lip for this look. Shiseido’s Dick Page mixed the brand’s Lacquer Rouge … Continue reading “New York Fashion Week Beauty Recap VII”
