Backstage Beauty at Giles


London Fashion Week is in full swing and we’re on the hunt for the best beauty looks of the week.  At the Giles show, makeup artists went for a bright red lip as the focus of the face, with little other makeup.  Hair was slicked back in an elegant chignon.  Tres chic indeed!

Best Backstage Hair at Fashion Week

We don’t love Fashion Week simply for the clothes. The week of runway shows is also a great time to learn about new beauty trends. Here are our five favorite beauty looks from New York Fashion Week.

Vera Wang


                                                 Venexiana

                                              Ivana Helsinki

                                                  Anna Sui

                                              Vivienne Tam

Backstage Beauty at Anna Sui

Backstage at Anna Sui, hair was kept simple. Hairstylists added body by securing rollers to the top of the hair, and applying a bit of heat and hairspray to set. The result was an easy, natural, slight wave.

Backstage Hair at Vera Wang

The inspiration for Vera Wang’s collection was 1930’s American Aristocrat with English influences.  It certainly came across in the pieces shown.  Drop waists and ethereal flowing dresses were seen throughout.  For hair, stylist Orlando Pita complimented the aesthetic of the clothes with slicked back slightly messy hair which he then teased and pinned under.  The sleek, slightly gothic look made for an interesting juxtaposition with Wang’s American Aristocrat theme.

Backstage Beauty at ADAM


Backstage at ADAM, models were fresh faced.  Eyes were lined with a thick black liner and long false lashes and the rest of the face was simple and muted.  Hair was pulled back into a low twisted ponytail.  Hair and makeup complimented designer Adam Lippes fresh, fun, feminine collection perfectly.

Christian Siriano Hair: Get the Look





This year, Christian Siriano had his models sport easy waves on the runway.  Want the look?  It’s actually a lot easier to accomplish than you’d think!  Apply hairspray evenly to hair.  Part hair into four to five sections, braiding each section and securing at the ends.  Next, flat iron each braid.  Wait for hair to cool and gently unbraid each section.  Lightly brush each section and you’re ready to go.  Quick, easy, soft waves straight from the runway at New York Fashion Week.nd securing at the ends.  Next, flat iron each braid.  Wait for hair to cool and gently unbraid each section.  Lightly brush each section and you’re ready to go.  Quick, easy, soft waves straight from the runway at New York Fashion Week.
