Beauty Mark: NYFW Fall 2010 – The Bold and The (Naturally) Beautiful

 

New York saw a variety of looks at Fall 2010 Fashion Week, but notthe variety I was hoping for.  For many designers, the theme seemed tobe “all or nothing.â€Â  Dark eyes and sassy hair were seen at Derek Lam,Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera, and DVF while some kind of “non-lookâ€showed up at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, and NarcisoRodriguez.
Overall I was a bit underwhelmed, but there were some standouts:
* Purple, purple, purple – seen most notably at Carolina Herrera.
* Vamp lips – Proenza Schouler and Derek Lam rocked ‘em.
* Huge headbands and red lips – Donna Karan is always classic.
* Long, straight hair – absolutely everywhere!
* Updos spotted at Vera Wang while Oscar De La Renta channelled the 80s.
My verdict:  Best Beauty goes to Michael Kors – he just understands women and what makes not only their bodies look good, but also their faces.  I’m giving Worst Beauty to Erin Wasson x RVCA: from what I understand, no gal wants to walk around with one janky eyebrow.
