NYFW S/S ’10: Daily Favorite Looks

fashion week looks

More great looks from New York Fashion Week Spring 2010. I love all four of these looks. As you can see, three of the looks are great everyday wear and I picked out one evening wear. The Anna Sui dress is so cute, I can’t stop gushing over it. I love this look from Tory Burch. The whole look is complete. I was super impressed from the Michael Kors Collection. There were so many great looks; but, overall the look above is my favorite because it’s so chic and I love the strong shoulders in the dress. The Thakoon dress worn by Chanel Iman is lovely but I also love the hair. The Thakoon design theme is described as “warrior surf” so the inspired hair look, performed by Wella Professionals, comes across as “sumo wrestler meets surf”. That’s pretty cool!

All hair styling, hair products, and hair color was done by the whole Wella Professionals Team.

Get the Look

  • Blowdry the hair back and away from the face.
  • Brush all the hair from ear to ear back and into a tight pony tail.
  • Apply Wella System Professional Supermousse to the pony for a sleek, satin finish.
  • Incorporate the hair from the center of the nape of the neck, in a 2 inch section up to the pony.
  • Bind the hair in the pony with 1/2 inch thick black elastic or ribbon, folding it back on itself to create a knot of hair.
  • Smooth a silicone gloss into hands and smooth over the hair that has been bound for a sleek finish.
  • Add colored extensions to the hair that is left out of the bind, to add length and fullness, as well as color depth.
  • Then spray this hair with Wella High Hair Ocean Spritz and diffuse for a beachy texture.

mercedes-benz-fashion-week

Ready for Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week this upcoming September? The shows schedule is finally revealed so now you can start planning to see your favorite designers. The festivities will kick off Thursday, September 10th til next Thursday, September 17th; however, the first night is technically the most talked about kickoff party, Fashion’s Night Out. Sponsored by Vogue and several others that are too many to list, Fashion Night Out is Anna Wintour’s pet project that’s dedicated to the people and getting them hyped up about fashion and giving them the motivation to start shopping again.  From 6pm to 10pm, expect dozens of retailers to be featured at the event including, live music, dancing, and just overall fun!

On another note, designers such as Christian Soriano, Isaac Mizrahi and Doo.Ri will be joining Derek Lam, Tory Burch, and Erin Wasson at the tents this season while M.A.C. Cosmetics will be at Milk Studios throwing their own party downtown and away from the tents. Too bad, I don’t have the schedule quite yet, but they will by shuttling people from the tents to the studios. Awesome!

Here’s a full list of New York Fashion Week lineup.
