              The shoes were ridiculous. My femmedagger shoe come to life...

                   

REEM ACRA SPRING 2012

The simplest, undone bun...easier said than un-done. 

Roughly textured, yet perfectly pulled back.

We used mostly Redken as it was Redken sponsored, 

but, a few secret ingredients appeared on the scene...

One of them in human form...A stylist from Australia, showed me yet another amazing trick to shaping these seemingly simple chignons...

First of all,having at least two people to hold and shape as you go-

High maintenance for sure, but this is not the salon...

And for the girls with horsetails of hair, a braid in one or two sections wrapped flat to the head and pinned to create a platform for the twist...

Above: Rutger for Redken/Cutler

And some of my award winning backstage shots...Even after a one on one lesson with my professional photographer (aka Moira!Who happen to be in New York for work too and was my best pseudo date all week!)

 I still ended up with some washed out business...cest la vie...

Moira and I talking Aperture and ISO...Wha???

The result...uh...

I would love to say I meant to do that...

Next show post Marc by Marc!

The Lake and Stars RTW 2012

Lead by Andre Gunn...I adored his vision...The inspiration was Mexico City, a beautiful native girl, hair tied back for convenience in a tight braided chignon,washes her face and all the baby hairs on the hairline are wet and slicked down...We used gel and a small comb or toothbrush around the hairline to mimic the effect and fishtailed the back tightly to levitate it off the shoulders...

And the make up!The make up artists had their work cut out for them!

Full body coverage and bronzed head to toe...eesh!

Milk Studios are incredible. This was not the penthouse with a view like the Graeme Armour show posted previously, but any view here is incredible, gorgeous natural light and they brought a friggin' sandbox in for the show. 

The lengths we go to for art...and consumption!

I knew stylin'out my baby mexican hairs would become high fashion someday....

P.S. I know I jacked alot of these off the interweb...apologies to photogs who deserve credit...I'll get ya back someday soon...These however,are my shots...not as profesh!

The light! And awesome team of stylists. Frida looking into the window kept me sane on the shows we worked on together and gave me so many helpful tips...

The remarkable calm before the storm...laughter and smiles! Happy models! 

Tiny Jessica!...I forget who represents her...I'll find out...So sweet, fresh off the Teen Vogue show...

I love how she represents! From age-appropriate peace sign to lady-like fierceness...

Their ages always shock me. Although, at this show the age range was impressive as well as sizes of models. They definitely incorporated some curvier girls...

Well, curvy by model standards...
