Best of Fashion Week Beauty, So Far
1. The red-meets-black lips at Proenza Schouler evoke the mean girl look we’re lusting after for fall. 2. Liner just on the outside of the eye adds a moodiness to Marc Jacob’s wallflower. 3. Long, tousled, wavy hair at DvF is just what I wish I had…. All I need is at least six more inches and two extra hours in the morning to get my stick-straight locks into a messy wave. 4. Business brows at Narciso Rodriguez are a new take on the classic, Shield-ian eye of the...

At London Fashion Week, Designers Play Outside Their Comfort Zone
Young designers, who are known for one thing, are trying to prove that they can work beyond and outside of their comfort zone. Aside from Christopher Kane, who, though he makes dresses, makes very different dresses for very different girls each season, a handful of young designers who are known for one aesthetic, went in totally different directions. Meadham Kirchoff may be the most extreme example. Gone were the ripped jeans and neutral colors, the rock and roll jackets and deconstructed...

The outspoken designer also showcased her environmental awareness - she sent models down the Catwalk wearing t-shirts printed...

Slithering onto the runway were the reptilian-creations dreamed up by Basso & Brooke .
