It’s still July, but we’re already thinking about Spring 2010 Fashion Week, which happens in September. We’re doing the makeup for the L’Wren Scott show, with Aaron De Mey leading the makeup team, and for Chris Benz, with Daniel Martin in the lead. We’re really honored to work with these two designers. They are so different and amazing in their own right, but they do have something in common. They are very organized, very focused and know what they want when it comes to hair and makeup.
Aaron already has talked to L’Wren about the beauty look and we just sent some nail polish samples to L’Wren’s team yesterday. As for Chris, most of you know we’re hard at work on the lipstick for his show, which will be the fifth in the Pout-à-Porter series. You also know we asked everyone to help name the lipstick by leaving a submission on Chris’s Facebook fan page. (Poor Emili the intern is counting all the submissions right now.) Chris picked the winning name, which will be announced at the show.
All the Pout-à-Porter lipsticks have sold out, so if you have any of them, consider yourself lucky! I don’t even have a Proenza Pink, which makes me a little sad. They sold out so quickly and there was such a frenzy around them, I just didn’t act fast enough. Blogdorf Goodman and Miss Whoever You Are have blogged about Thakoon Pixel Pink and losing or not getting their hands on that shade. I did squirrel away some Pixel Pink last year, which I promptly forgot about. But I was going through our giant file cabinets the other day and happened upon my stash. So let’s give some away. Post the name of your favorite fashion designer and we’ll pick five of you at random. Each of you will get a Pixel Pink, which is one of the best sheer summer lipstick shades ever. (Gorg model Julia Dunstall’s wearing it above. Does anyone know what agency Julia is with?)
P.S. Be sure to read the blog around Fashion Week. We’re putting together some fun giveaways and we might even give one lucky person the Chris Benz lipstick, which won’t hit stores until January!

I spent days trying to choose only one designer between my two favorite. I started getting a migraine so I decided to go with both. I love Roberto Cavalli and Carlos Miele. Both use bold, beautiful colors in their designs. Much of their collections are made from bright silks that are sexy and comfortable. When you wear their outfits, you feel young and full of life. Their sense of style is so unique that you know one when you see it. This brand recognition makes them truly remarkable considering all the designers out there today making, what seems to me, a lot of the same. Cavalli and Miele are not afraid to take risks. They are never dull. Most importantly, what makes them exceptional is this…..when a woman wears one of their outfits, they are on top of the world. They look beautiful and feel beautiful. That's what makes them so fabulous and the reason why their designs are so coveted by women from all over the world.

alexander mcqueen! I hope I am not too late, such a great prize.
A Pout-a-Porter giveaway, OMG! Who do I choose, so many great designers, I guess I'd have to say Michael Kors since I have more of his clothes, shoes and purses then anyone elses. I don't have a Pour-a-Porter but it's been on my wish list for a very long time!
Yves Saint Laurent! Blurring the gender lines with le smoking was ingenious and liberating for women! Tom Ford gave it a little sex appeal which was nice and Stefano Pilati made magic when he mixed jersey with classic beautiful pieces that could be worn with anything and anywhere! Love!
