MB Fashion Week – New York: Lela Rose


Lela Rose was all about confident glam, from the hair to the lips to the nails. Celebs in the audience included Brittany Snow (wearing Lela Rose), Rose McGowan, Shantel VanSanten and Lynn Collins. There were a few unusual sets at the beginning that just didn’t seem to fit the young, fresh look of this designer, but that quickly fell away as the show progressed. Knee highs that give a double take as boots were an adorable addition. Feathered skirts, paintbrush textiles and gradient/ombre with strong greens and teals make for a lush, romantic fall look.

 Hair – Ted Gibson lead: Devin Toth (pictured above, left)

Gorgeous finger waves and long pony was the look.  Ted was sent off to the Grammys!
 

Makeup: Stila  lead – Sarah Lucero

Nails – Deborah Lippman
Deborah Lippmann was also whisked away for the Grammys and her husband Jude took over, describing the color that Lela Rose went with for the runway. Cha-ching!  It’s Billionaire.

Skin – Clarisonic

This was a first.  Clarisonic was backstage giving models cleansing, then Opal marine serum treatments.  I was given a treatment and I have to say – wow!  It was absolutely refreshing.  I have the Clarisonic and especially love it in the shower.  Invest!
