MM6 : FASHION WEEK FALL 2013

MM6 : Maison Martin Margiela FALL 2013

Hands down, my favorite show of the week!  Every piece in this line I want in my closet stat.  But it was the combination that really won me over; the clothing, the presentation and the Hair and Makeup.

Stylist, David Vandewal (@mrdavidvandewal) is a wonderful human, and an amazing stylist.  I worked with him on this MM6 presentation as well as the Siki Im show (which will be posted ASAP).

Anyone who knows me can confirm that my style, which I openly exclaim, is what I like to call "Homeless" which consists of layer after layer of clothing.  I LOVE LAYERS.  Well, apparently so does MR. David.  

I will say he is way more qualified in the art of orchestrating layers, so I will take notes.

The combination of pieces that he put together I think is genius.

To get on to more geniuses that were a part of creating this presentation is yet again James Pecis, Key Hair stylist for the line.

James came fully loaded with not only product but needles and thread.  The look was entertaining to watch as it transformed from tiny twists pinned into sections all over the head and set to dry, to the super edgy and kinked look you see above.

James, stitching the hair to finish this creative look!

The twists were set to dry while the Makeup Artists beat away! (Drag term! #Dragqueenslang) Once the hair and product had set, the twists were then unpinned and James wrapped a small piece around the neck and stitched the hair around the back!  Brilliant.

LAYERS! Thank you David Vanderwal

MATHIEU MIRANO : FASHION WEEK FALL 2013

MATHIEU MIRANO FALL 2013

Keeping it in the family!

D and V management was all over this show, representing both Key artists for hair and makeup for Mathieu Mirano's fall 2013 line.

I have had the pleasure of working with both Benjamin Pukey (Key Makeup Artist) and James Pecis! (Key Hair stylist), both are incredible artists and so the vibes backstage at The Box @ Lincoln Center, were very positive and laidback! (which doesn't happen often)

The Makeup was of course a combination of perfect complexion (Benjamin is known for creating perfect skin) and white liner surrounding the eyes.  A solid combination of edgy and soft.  

Key Makeup Artist Benjamin Pukey, final touches

James did not disappoint with his hair creation for the show,  the look consisted of a part straight down the middle and hair slicked about 1/2 to 3/4 down the head.  The Hair from below the ear was then texturized to create more volume, which you can see below!!  Both hair and makeup complimented themselves and were able to elevate the clothes.

JEN KAO : FASHION WEEK FALL 2013

JEN KAO FALL 2013

Absolutely in love with this line, dark and gritty with some serious abstract shapes.  Not to the mention the hair and makeup to go with it!

I had the privilege of working with James Pecis, the Key Hair stylist for the show.  His look was created by diagonally sectioning the hair, braiding the hair and then twisting them into the pattern below.

TO KICK OFF FASHION WEEK, DUCKIE BROWN FALL 2013

I had the pleasure of working with my favorite Makeup Artist, Ralph Siciliano for the Duckie Brown Show @ Industria Studios!
Sponsored by Murad Skincare (their products are amazing by the way).  Ralph created a clean and natural look with glowing cheekbones!
Who doesn't love glowing bone structure.
