You want to know the beauty trends to come out of the spring 2014 collections, and I can’t wait to tell you! See below for some of our favorite looks from New York Fashion Week, including inspiration, product information, how-tos, and more! See the bottom of the post for the trends to surface from the first few days of New York Fashion Week, and the best beauty looks from Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff, Helmut Lang, and Mara Hoffman.
Kate Spade: Nails
Deborah Lippmann created the incredible nail look for Kate Spade for spring, dubbing the shape an “almondetto” (part almond, part stiletto), with a new twist on the French mani. With gunmetal on the tips, the stripe shades of It’s Raining Men, Groove is in the Heart, or Walking on Sunshine (launching summer 2014) alternated and the look was topped off with a matte finish. With a little patience and thinner brushes (a striping brush will do), you can definitely duplicate this downtown meets uptown look at home!

Just when certain crafts are dying off, others experience a resurgence, and by that, I mean elaborate and incredibly handsome embroidery. Machines can certainly do it, but most of the runway-worthy embroidery this season fell closer in line with couture than machine-wrought designs. Embroidered options veered both Latin/Central American and Eastern European, while ethnic prints still largely tribal, were evidenced from 11th Avenue in Chelsea to Lincoln Center. See below for some of my favorite looks in this category, and also check out our other trend reports on paint, pastels, and black & white.
Marc Jacobs
Jacobs’ signature hodgepodge style of fabrications and influences has been very “more is more” over the past several years, and this season it truly comes to fruition with pieces that are as unconventional as they come, yet flow symbiotically in the world of Marc Jacobs.

From tie-dye to watercolors to straight up paint splatters and computer generated illustrations, unique, memorable fabrications have found their way onto the runways for spring 2014.
J.Crew
Here we say two extremely different looks: a beautifully orchestrated floral print on the left, and on the right, pants splattered with remnants from a fun but messy paint job. Which do you prefer for spring 2014? I thin I’m leaning toward the latter…
Tory Burch
