Faithful ThisThatBeauty readers know that the Arise African Collective show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is one of my personal favorites. For the last two season, I have had the pleasure of covering both backstage and the runway.
For the Fall/Winter 2010 season of the African Collective, unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts, I was not able [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: The Sickest Accessories To Hit The Catwalk

The quickest route to a kick ass outfit is ridiculously outstanding accessories. The right statement necklace can instantly and magically transform ye olde LBD into an eye popping show stopper. While clothes, hair and makeup are the first aspects of fashion that come to mind when I think about Fashion Week, accessories are a key [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: Felicia Walker Benson Key Makeup Artist at the Vessel by Lois Samuels

My goal for the makeup was to create an aesthetic that would balance and enhance Lois Samuels’ collection. Her collection, the Vessel, is very clean with masculine and parochial school influences from Lois’ youth. This is my second season working with the designer. The makeup must introduce an element of structure to align with the [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: Lacoste channels Benetton

Anyone else feeling a Benetton circa 1980something moment coming on?

This year’s Lacoste collection is an interesting (slight) departure from the brand’s core design aesthetic. A brightly color blocked tube dress, an over-sized off white cocoon sweater and vivid shades of yellow, orange, pink, and green dominated the runway. Of course the good folks at Lacoste [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: Maybelline New York Backstage Makeup at Michael Angel

Eyes ruled the runway at Michael Angel (designer pictured above). Charlotte Willer for Maybelline New York worked a tiny miracle and made chartreuse on the eyes wearable (no small feat) by containing the boldly hued pigment to the lower lash line and balancing it with deeply muted tones on the lid.

Makeup artist Charlotte Willer drew [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: Bobbi Brown Backstage Makeup at Yigal Azrouel

The most minimalist runway makeup look I have seen so far comes [not surprisingly] from Bobbi Brown for Yigal Azrouel. I often reference Bobbi Brown as the “Queen of Neutrals“. This moniker is not meant to poke fun. It truly represents my view of Bobbi Brown’s makeup aesthetic. While her current collection introduces a lovely [...]

ThisThatBeauty’s Exclusive Coverage of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall/2010: Day One Reflections

With a nasty case of self diagnosed food poisoning barely behind me, it was with much trepidation that I made my way to day one of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Rather than over exert my barely regulated tummy by crazily jaunting from show to show, I decided to play it as cool as a fan and rock [...]
