BEAUTY BEAT.... We started our morning off backstage with Pattie Yankee of Dashing Diva at Abigail Lorick's show at the Tribeca Grand. She complimented Lorick's mint green and cerulean blue pleated and preppy collection with her patriotic duo of Box Seats (bright true blue) and Miranda's Law (candy apple red). With many years as tip-painting veteran in the Fashion Week game under her belt, she gave us tips on how to get a runway ready mani in a hurry. Then we scurried over to Hayden-Harnett, where we felt the heat of their dessert themed show backstage with Tarte and Davines, where they showed us how to create the windblown and blustered look that not only has luster, but lasts.
HEAVENLY IM-PORT-ANT... When we read Ports 1961 designer Tia Cibani's opening statement that her show would be very minimalist, we expected a lot of geometric shapes in neutral shades of boring. However, we were pleasantly surprised by her interpretation of an ethereal image in pale pinks and peach silk dupioni and organza. Lighter-than-air accessories came in the form of sheer and cinched opera gloves, glass-blown baubles, and cellophane caplets. Evening separates with winged backs, draped or origami-folded making it the perfect balance of shimmer and shine for knocking on heaven's door.
