yup...say that title three times fast....
Hello all, Nicoletta here with your Runway Rundown...
Though New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 began with the sad news of Alexander McQueens passing, the fashion world continued on with its last round at Bryant Park. I would love to be your fashion blogger but my eye immediately zooms to if it works as a whole and then from hair to make-up and then the clothing and why it works. So for that reason, I will be sure to find you guys a fashion corespondant but here are my observations on New York Fashion Week Fall 2010.
What I do know is that the colors of the coming season after New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 prove to be grey in varying shades and tones with layering of neutrals. The layers of tones in the clothing mirrored the levels of textures within the hair and depth of shadow and color within the makeup artistry. This allots for even the simplest details within the hair and make-up styles to shine...
Though truthfully this time around it seems to be apparent that simplicity and a back to basics feel is key....

Every look on the runway seemed to be a hieghtened recreation of styles women can accomplish at home next fall or starting now. It is the start of the effortless beauty, think "French IT Girl", the bed head thats is perfectly colored and cut and the perfect complimenting or even contrasting tube of lipstick is all you need....oh and fantastic clothing.

Hair looks ranged from Urban Traveller Chic (JUAN CARLOS OBANDO directly above) to Old Hollywood Screen Siren (CAROLINA HERRERA shown two images up) leaving something for everyone but with one statement fairly clear...the longer the locks the better, since you can always throw them into a "Fashion Faux Bob".

As for the make-up, lighter smokey smudged eyes were paired with signature lips. The strong make-up statements were definently made with varying lip colors on all skin tones even the drastically pale (pale skin being another crucial trend) and either completely nude tones (CARLOS MIELE directly above) or darker than dark bright matte hues.

But even the most minimalistic beauty looks, such as those seen in Marc Jacobs line up still gave off a sense of the glamour and old world class within each model. (MARC JACOBS, above)
Many beauty aspects drew from Spring/Summer 2010 with the elimintation of the traditional Veronica Lake wave replacing it with a "The Tousled Tress" varying in density (JILL STUART, above - top image) or the less coiffed Bridgette Bardot look (VERA WANG, directly above), the increased popularity of the sky high ballerina bun with a twist of texture (CATHRINE MALANDRINO, directly below) and variation on a classic pony tail. (PAMELLA ROLAND, below)
Another obvious trend was the shift of volume, volume is now concentrated on the ends on the hair instead on the root,"Little Tops and Big Bottoms"...whether with buns, pony tails or down textured (curled) looks. (PORTS 1961, pictured below)
I am signing out for this Well-Tressed Wednesday and New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 but before I go here are a few products tools and tips to achieve the looks I mentioned...
Little Tops Big Bottoms - Use a smoothing serum like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny , an award winning product (add a dab of gel for course hair like Paul Mitchell Fast Form) through the top of the hair, then enhance volume and ensure hold of textured area with Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray.
The Tousled Tress - Use a working spray like Paul Mitchell Worked Up (another award winning product!!) and a 1 inch barrel curling iron (my suggestion is Paul Mitchell Express Ion Curl 1.0, it has a digital temp gage and lock and cermanic/silicone infused barrel!!) alternately working sections varing in size around barrel leave ends out...brush through and spray into place with Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray.
Fashion Faux Bob - Start with hair at desired texture (straight curly and wavy can be achieves with the Express Ion Style v.1 by Paul Mitchell) and back brush (tease) entire head with a firm hold spray such as Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray. Use a detailing brush and clean the top of the hair. Flip hair under with fingers and pin into place by crossing bobby pins at the nape of the neck spray thoroughly and detail with fingers and Paul Mitchell Pro Tools.
