The top 5 beauty trends from the autum/winter 2016 Fashion Week shows (PHOTO question)

March 9, 2016 By admin

As urban grunge makes its comeback (at least on the catwalk), so it is only natural that eye makeup becomes bigger, darker and smudgier. In Paris, the look was demonstrated by the thick-winged eyeliner at Saint Laurent that flicked up to the temple and the eyeshadow that filled the models' sockets at Sacai. The “heavy liner” look was more minimalist but still striking at Topshop Unique in London, whereas the Tadashi Shoji show in New York featured a softer, smudgier take on the trend.

A sneak peek at the MET Costume Institute’s fashion exhibition ‘Manus x Machina’

February 19, 2016 By publisher

The exhibition, which opens on May 5, explores the link between the handmade and the machine-made in the worlds of haute couture and ready-to-wear. “Traditionally, the distinction between the haute couture and prêt-à-porter was based on the handmade and the machine-made, but recently this distinction has become increasingly blurred as both disciplines have embraced the practices and techniques of the other,” said Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute. Recently released photos reveal that the show will include a “wedding ensemble” by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel Autumn/Winter 2014-15 haute couture collection, and an evening dress by Yves Saint Laurent for the Autumn/Winter 1969-70 haute couture show.

Yves Saint Laurent has a new version of the iconic “L'Homme” fragrance in store for spring, revealing a fresh, modern side to masculinity for 2016.

Developed by a trio of perfumers — Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion and Juliette Karagueuzoglou — this aromatic woody scent is spiced with notes of ginger and cardamom seed, with a zest of grapefruit essence.
