Yesterday I completed an illustrative tutorial from the Michael Kors show for New York Magazine/The Cut. I love working with them during fashion week! Re-Capture the wedge eye yourself if you like, laid out for you in 4 simple steps! Beauty editor Christina Han got the scoop and I illustrated it.
Next up….my all time favorite Marc Jacobs!
This NY Fashion Week, New York Magazine‘s fashion and beauty site The Cut has me teaming up with beauty editor Christina Han to get backstage beauty secrets from the best runway shows. This powerful purple cat eye from Jason Wu’s show is actually simple to achieve in 4 simple steps. I had fun illustrating them. Check them out here and let me know would you try this look for a special night out? Maybe even a Valentine’s date?

Did you ever wonder how New York Fashion Week started? Single handedly by Eleanor Lambert, the press director of American fashion’s first promotional organization, the New York Dress Institute (in the 1940’s during the height of the WW2). It was initially called “Press Week”. She organized semi-annual Fashion Press Weeks in New York often paying expenses and coordinating schedules for journalists as Paris dealt with Nazi occupation. The events spread overseas to European capitals. And here we are decades later at the New York Fashion Week kick off. Fascinating!

Here’s a great podcast about Eleanor and the birth of NY Fashion Week’s on WNYC.
The sun is pouring in the window warming the right side of me as I sit at my desk. It’s the start of a new week, a chance to look at the world with fresh eyes.
These beautiful photos of Paris from the early 1900’s are the perfect dose of eye candy to start the week off right. There were too many gems worth featuring but I picked three. Take a look at more here.
