One common theme I observed from the various shows this Fashion Week season is that makeup colours have mellowed and hair colours have gone bigger and brighter.
Several designers had showcased their models in bare or natural makeup this season. Lips fluctuated from bright red to nude or beige. Fancy eye colours observed at previous Spring/Summer shows have been retired for mauve or taupe colours. On the crowning glory though, we see a variety of colours. Mint, pink, gold, green… just name it!

The nail colour used on the models was Deborah Lippman’s “Waking up in Vegas”. The makeup and nail polish were deliberately subdued to divert all attention to the hair, and the actual Spring/Summer collection!

Is anyone getting hitched next Summer? Here are some gown inspirations I have picked from the latest New York Fashion Week.
1. Monique Lhuillier
Monique Lhuillier opted for bold colours such as blue and yellow for her gowns this year. She seemed to be pursuing a more irregular but textured feel with the blue swirl prints or twisted tulle. These couture pieces would be grand for your wedding night!

This year’s NYFW didn’t really serve that many surprises. Trend wise, floral prints, clean lines and bright shades such as coral, tangerine, yellow and turquoise look set to take the stage next Spring.
This is a good sign, right? Nothing radical, which means what we have in our wardrobes are likely to still be fashion forward in 2012!
1. Simplicity with a dash of colour

Last week, New York Fashion Week proved that fashion doesn’t have to always be one era in time. This fall season, channel your inner vintage self by taking inspirations from yesteryear. Whether you’re feeling the 70′s, 20′s or even the 90′s, you can make it work no matter what the day or decade.

The 4 words – Kiss of the Orient – came to mind when I was viewing Philosophy’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. I have followed Alberta Ferrati’s designs for a while and I don’t recall her being so bright and loud!
One thing for sure, the Oriental style is making waves globally again!

I haven’t really been following the New York Fashion Week religiously but one key takeaway after viewing several photo galleries is that White and Neutral will be big next year. This is possibly a nice graduation from the Tan and Camel shades that are in the rage this year.
