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!

Narcisco Rodriguez – New York Fashion Week September 2011

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!

There was no surprise at the Erdem show last evening. The showcase was quietly stunning, mysterious and elegant. While I have gone through every single runway outfit on Style.com prior to the show, I still felt somewhat awed by the showmanship once the strum of violin began and the models started sashaying in flowy dresses with abstract water-colour prints.

Fashion is happy. I love every look from the Moschino Cheap & Chic Spring/Summer 2011 show in Milan! Rosella Jardini, the designer behind this label, continued to inject happy, carefree and feminine elements into her collection.

Purple. Animal Prints. Gold and Glitter. This was Mulberry’s interpretation of “Naughty Royalty” as observed at last night’s Autumn/Winter 2010 party. Held at Tanjong Beach Club, models strutted down the poolside runway with latest designs from the luxury English label.

I would like to share with you the videos of Viktor & Rolf runway show at Paris Fashion Week 2010:

Awesome, isn’t it? Jackets worn multi-way and although I wished they could stop piling on clothes on the poor model, the whole get-up did look amazing!  In my very layman terms, I think winter jackets should be versatile enough to accommodate many many layers of clothes underneath – given the unpredictable weather conditions these days. The designers showed that their outerwear could be draped over a bodysuit, or worn over tonnes of other outerwear.

Check out Coutorture for clear pictures of the showcase.

Because I’m a UOB Lady’s Card holder and because I’m worth it, I was invited to the G2000 Winter Collection showcase at the newly-opened 313@Somerset store.

For the uninitiated, G2000 is an Asian brand famed for their business clothes and work wear. The piecess showcased at their fashion show would not really garner much oohs and ahhs but there were some corporate styles which I thought were good inspirations:

See, office wear can be interesting! I especially love the botton right green outfit. The furry scarf literally brightens up an otherwise very normal work outfit and the scarf looks comfortable for sunny Singapore.

For the men, you can be suave in purple!

Another takeaway from this event is that G2000 has some classic and well-made winter jackets selling at attractive prices. For those who are looking for a jacket for your upcoming winter getaway, you can visit the store at 313@Somerset and get 15% off using the UOB card!

I have uploaded all the styles from the fashion show onto my Facebook, so do take a look – I spent a lot of time editing the photos – and be inspired!
