Honoring David Bowie groupies, bare naked ladies, golden goddesses and an ode to Elizabeth Taylor’s violet eyes. It was all part of the eclectic spirit that emanated from New York to Paris for the recent Spring 2015 collections. The models on the catwalk gave good face and great hair. The season’s best makeup looks took their cue with a sense of defiance and unbridled ease. And while Marc Jacobs sent his models to the runway in shaggy black bobs (again) and bare faced, there were still plenty of whimsical touches. Gilded golden touches on the eyes, a random scribbling from Louis Vuitton and lip colors that could have leapt off the canvas of a Warhol painting, the message states that it’s alright if your makeup is a little imperfect.

DEFINE THE EYE

Whether it’s the aforementioned inky scribblings at Louis Vuitton, Bardot’s bedroom eyes at Diane von Furstenberg or gold dust at Anna Sui, bold black liner or sparkling shadow is the perfect medium to display the graphic looks of the season. Get the look with a bold black felt tip pen like Lancome’s Artliner in Noir, the felt tip allows for a line as fine as Marchesa’s look or as thick as Saint Laurent’s. Smooth Hold Sensational Effects eye shadow in Pose, when applied to the inner corners and the middle of the top and bottom lash lines, is a look that you can’t get wrong.

Here, some of the top beauty trends you will be wearing come Spring 2015.

HAIR-RAISING

The hairstyles of the season took on the same sartorial sprit as the eccentric makeup looks with animalistic streaks, shell shaped up-do’s, boyish Evangelista-esque pixie cuts and slightly unkempt beachy braids. The Mulleavy sisters sent their models to the runway with zebra print hair extensions fastened by Odile Gilbert. “They took two days to hand paint and stamp”, Gilbert said backstage. Though we saw a selection of low maintenance styles, too. The loose tousled braids at Michael Kors were achieved by using dry shampoo and pulling strands from the front and from the braid for a look similar to how you’d style your hair after spending an afternoon poolside at the Soho house. To get the look use Oscar Blandi’s Pronto Dry Shampoo Powder Spray. Use just enough to cloud your vanity and finish with a curling iron.

CRYSTAL CLEAR COMPLEXIONS

This season, the best investment you can make is an appointment with your esthetician. A designer’s and makeup artist’s penchant for freshly washed, well moisturized skin takes precedent over heavy makeup application. To get the look opt for a rich moisturizer like Shu Uemura’s Deepsea Hydrability Intense moisturizing Concentrate. A little bit goes a long way, just a little dab will make your face feel hydrated all day.

Runway Destination Paris… a city of dreams

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who had big dreams. These dreams included destinations to faraway places that many can only imagine. In these dreams, there were cities of beauty, culture, lifestyle, sights and history. To have the chance to bring the reality of those dreams to life is the dream of numerous individuals, not just little girls. One such city that calls to those souls is Paris, the largest city and capital of France…our destination today.

Paris is located in the north central part of the country, and has a population of approximately 2.2 million people. Part of the attraction to Paris is the nature of its being a hub for education, business, science, politics, fashion, shopping, arts and media. What stands out, however, is the historical and cultural heritage that goes deep and wide. When visiting Paris, there are many glorious sights to see. We will highlight a few, as there are too many to capture them all.

Avenue Nicholas II, looking towards the Dome of the Invalides, is probably one of the most recognizable Domes ever. The dome itself is 107 meters high, making it one of the tallest monuments in Paris. It is centrally placed to reflect honor for many of the country’s war Heroes. This is accomplished by utilizing buildings within 15 courtyards. The inside of the dome was painted by Charles de La Fosse, disciple of the well-known 18th century French painter, Charles Le Brun.

Another central landmark in Paris is the Louvre Museum, which is a historical monument as well as the national museum of France. It is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st (neighborhood) arrondissement. It is known to be the most visited museum in the world, and is possibly the most famous one. There are almost 35,000 objects exhibited from the 6th millennium BC to the 19th century AD. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the original fortress are still visible.

One of the most famous locations in Paris (that dreamers and lovers often want to experience) is the Eiffel Tower at Champ de Mars in Paris. The tower was built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 for the World Fair, where it has been remembered as the star attraction. It held the title as the tallest man-made structure for 41 years. There are two main levels for visitors. It is approximately 300 steps to the first level, and then another 300 steps to the second level. Each of those levels include a restaurant for visitors. There is a third level, however, and this is only assessable via lift and is not normally available to the public for viewing.

Notre Dame de Paris is one of the most prominent examples of Gothic architecture in both France and in Europe. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass are in contrast with earlier Romanesque architecture. The Cathedral was built in 1163, with the new gothic style that had to reflect Paris’ status as the capital of the Kingdom France. It was also the first cathedral built on a monumental scale. It became the prototype for future cathedrals in France, like the cathedrals of Amiens, Chartres or Rheims. Notre Dame surpasses the Eiffel Tower as the most visited monument in Paris and all of France.

The beautiful and lovely monument of Fontaine Saint Michel is located at Place Saint-Michel in the 5th arrondissement in Paris. It was constructed in 1858-1860, during the French Second Empire by the architect Gabriel Davioud. A notable sculpture by Francisque-Joseph Duret (which depicts Archangel Michael and the devil) is the centerpiece of the Fontaine Saint-Michel.

From locations to experiences, Paris Fashion Week (PFW) accentuates the beauty that Paris contains and exudes through its fashion and style. Once a year fashionistas from all over the world travel to Paris to follow the trends and set the tone for each major season. During that week, the Parisian streets transform into a runway that is the most stylish, with top industry individuals attending the breathtaking fashion shows. Designers, fashion houses, labels and others enjoy seeing the spring / summer and the autumn (fall) / winter collections. This is one of those once in a lifetime experiences where dreams can become reality.

So for those who believe that dreams can come true, Paris awaits you…

Chinese fashion designers in London

Look from Ryan Lo’s autumn-winter 2015 collection – Chinese fashion

Recent news that the Hong Kong government is to plough HK$200 million into the creative sector coincided with the biannual international catwalk shows in New York and Europe.

In London and Paris, Hong Kong and Chinese graduates from the European art college system are already receiving help to showcase their collections, from organizations such as the British Fashion Council and the talent-spotting Fashion Scout that champions young creative talent. The British fashion industry and government funding underwrite both organizations.

Yifang Wan and Xiao Li are both previous Fashion Scout merit award winners, and Youjia Jin, originally from Inner Mongolia, says Fashion Scout gave her a “priceless opportunity” to launch her career after graduating by selecting her as one of its Ones to Watch designers.

Jin also designs men’s clothes, and is regarded as one of the mainland’s top 10 menswear designers. There is a distinct blend of masculine tailoring and feminine sensibility in her womenswear collections.

The girlish appeal of Ryan Lo’s flamboyant style, meanwhile, was recognised by New Gen which funded his first catwalk show last month in London. The New Gen showcase is one of the most internationally recognized talent spotting schemes, and has been sponsored by Top shop since 2001. Its alumni include Huishan Zhang, whose fresh and exciting vision of femininity they were quick to identify four years ago. Zhang who works in London and produces his collection in Qingdao, now has a coveted spot on the schedule on the same day as Burberry, Erdem and Christopher Kane. Always delving into his cultural roots, this season Zhang created Chinese puzzles of velvet and tweed spliced with lace, and traditional Chinese warrior-like dresses using hologram sequins.

Before being snapped up by New Gen, the Hong Kong-born Lo was supported for two seasons by Fashion East a non-profit initiative founded in East London that gives young designers the opportunity to showcase their collections in London and Paris.

London-based Xiao Li, who graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art, won the Diesel Award in 2013. She was showcased by Vogue Talents at Milan Fashion Week last year and is one of the shortlisted semi-finalists for the prestigious LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize.

“Vogue Talents 2014 gave me an excellent chance to show my work in front of the ‘Vogue’ family and industry people from all over the world,” says Li, and Fashion Scout “supported me too, giving me my first opportunity to show during London Fashion Week”.

She also receives support from the Chinese fashion industry and “there are plenty of opportunities for young designers” there.

These Hong Kong and mainland designers are graduates of the British fashion school system – three-quarters of the postgraduates on the London College of Fashion’s MA course this year are Chinese and many elect to stay. To do so they have to launch their businesses in Britain to secure a visa, which makes them eligible for support.

Hong Kong-born Minki Cheng, who showed his second collection at London Fashion Week, is a Central Saint Martin’s alumni and former staffer at the Alexander McQueen studio. He says being selected by the British Fashion Council “has certainly given me motivation to do even better next season”.

Hong Kong’s Bladerunner-style neon street signs were the inspiration for Cheng, with neon silicon strips printed on neoprene-like silk/polyester tops, asymmetric cut dresses, gilets and skirts.

London’s creative buzz is clearly important to all these designers. Renli Su, who hails from Fujian, graduated with an MA from London College of Fashion three years ago and showed her fourth collection in the same group as Cheng. Her label sells in Shanghai, Beijing, Changsha and in independent boutiques in Britain.

While Hong Kong can claim to be a multicultural city, it needs to offer better support not just from government but retailers and the fashion-buying public to encourage these young creatives to come back from the dynamic fashion capitals of Europe.
