You know, I never thought I'd be a Chloe girl. Of course, I've also never been the kind of girl to wear neutrals and be ultra feminine (though I am making a concerted effort to move more towards this direction). As far as fashion goes, Chloe brings to mind soft pinks, khakis, and neutral colors in unexpected shapes & silhouettes. As I become older and more financially independent, I find my style changing and adapting - it's amazing what you'll buy when it's your money and completely your decision.
Imagine my surprise when I tried the new Chloe Chloé eau de toilette - and actually liked it! The fragrance is fresh, feminine and begs to be worn outdoors in the Spring. Notes of freesia, watermelon, sandalwood and fresh irish allow this fragrance to develop into a fragrance rich with possibilities. To be honest, I'm enjoying this opportunity to explore my softer side - you never know, a Chloe closet could be right around the corner!
Backstage at Tadashi Shoji, key makeup artist Luc Bouchard for MAC Cosmetics found himself surrounced by an eager group of fashion and beauty bloggers, hungry for details on just how he created the effortless makeup looks for the Fall 2010 Tadashi Shoji runway show. Luc exlpained that, much like the hair looks, the makeup was kept "simple, soft, beautiful [and] young" to complement the elegant, feminine dresses in the collection. A minimal use of eyeliner and mascara on uncurled lashes added subtle impact while skin was all about perfection with light sculpting through the cheeks. Listen in for all the details from a pro whose passion for makeup is truly contagious.
Backstage at Jill Stuart/Fall 2010, the beauty team worked to create a modern day Brigette Bardot, or as key hair stylist Bob Recine put it, today's Kate Moss after midnight. Hair was spritzed and tossled to a state of disheveled elegance, thanks to TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Root Boost, a spray mousse that adds texture and volume. Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury created a sexy, feline eye while keeping the rest of the face fresh and natural. Nails were kept short and natural in a shade of barely-there opaque peach called Deborah Lippmann Collection Nail Polish in I'm Not Innocent.
Backstage at Tadashi Shoji, I had the pleasure of speaking with key hair stylist Rodney Cutler for Cutler about creating the Fall 2010 runway show hair looks. Cutler saysTadashi wanted hair down and looking young, fresh and uncomplicated to complement the red-carpet worthy gowns—a refreshing break from the up-do's of seasons past. "These clothes are so glamorous and 'evening,' this is sort of a perfect balance," Cutler says. To get the look, he used Cutler Volumizing Spray, a lightweight hair spray that repels humidity, followed by Redken Workforce 09, which allows hair to move on the runway.
We caught up with lead hair stylist Bob Recine for TIGI backstage at Jill Stuart to hear about how he created the looks for the Fall 2010 runway show. Recine says the inspiration was "Kate Moss after midnight," which called for sexy, rock-n-roll hair. To get the tousled, voluminous 'do, Recine used products from TIGI's "amazing" Catwalk line including the Catwalk Your Highness Root Boost Spray. Watch the video to see the finished results!
