Just like the smoldering smoky eye and berry lip I so loved at Zac Posen, Derek Lam dished up some serious Cold Weather makeup. Cold Weather makeup being dramatic, deep tones and heavy-handed application on both the eye and the lip. Delicious. Hand me some boots and a scarf, for I am ready for the chill.

... which I love. It’s got shades of all the neutrals and nudes and raw Primary School hair we saw at the S/S ‘10 shows but there’s a bit of sexy vamp about it too. Like the models were running late for the shoot after a big night out and didn’t have time for hair and makeup, they just went up as is. ... more

It’s perverse, but we all love a good stack, don’t we? Miss AGYNESS DEYN gave us exactly the kind of low-brow entertainment we all enjoy when she bit dust at Miss NAOMI CAMPBELL’s Fashion For Relief - Haiti show. Thankfully no ankles were harmed in the making of this stack.... more

This part of the shows is pretty exciting, akshually. New York has some great shows for beauty, the designers always serve up very wearable makeup and hair, and despite the fun of the Paris and Milan shows, probably most of the most successful beauty trends come out of New York, that is to say, the ones Yaz and I decide are awesome and look great and then drum into your head for the next six months. Cue Herve Leger’s matte orange lip.... more

Finally, some Gossip Girl action at NY fashion week. I was beginning to think Chuck Bass had locked them all up in his basement. I wouldn’t put it past him, you know, the evil little gremlin. Yes, Blair, AKA B, AKA Leighton Meester tiptoed down to Bryant Park yesterday to show off her fancy new full fringe. And kind of show why they’re not always the best idea....... more

Thanks, Renzo Rosso for inviting Kate ‘Platinum’ Bosworth and Nicole ‘Honey’ Richie to come see your wild lil’ Diesel Black show. That was real kind of you. Because now we get to play Hair Off™. And I love to play Hair Off™. ... more

There’s always a few hairstyles that get pumped at the shows. And one of them I really couldn’t be happier about: the smooth, soft, deep side-part with a low bum (not bum) or pony. Why: Because it’s simple, it’s elegant and perfect when you need to look real pretty but are in Lazy Bitch or Dirty Hair Bitch mode. ... more

Oh come now, tell me you don’t secretly harbour a desire to look like our little doll-y friend, just for one day. Especially when it means looking as dazzling as the models did on the runway for the celebration of Barbie’s 50th birthday at New York fashion week last night, resplendent with their Stila Barbie collection makeup and 23 kilos of hairspray.... more

We’re not, though. We know exactly what we’re doing, and that is bringing you all of the makeup and hair direct from the runway over there at Bryant park, as it happens. Celebrities, front row, backstage, catwalk - we’ll be picking the best looks from the best shows and pummeling you with them, every day, all day. And then to London! Paris! Milan! Man, you’re gonna be so high fashion by the end of this month, you’ll end up going to Chanel and dropping several hundred clams… or something.... more
