Ecliptica Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

At Ecliptica‘s fall/winter 2010 runway show, it was easy to be impressed; the clothes were sexy and elegant with a flair of femininity and the color schemes matched black with copper, fuchsia and red. There were sequins, flowing ruffles, draping and mesh all in the same collection. Ecliptica’s style this season evoked beautiful flirty fun looks for the sophisticated event-goer.
Hair and makeup keyed by Javier Romero and Cesar Ramirez flowed beautifully with the designs. The hair was slicked back to a highly- laquered shine on the sides with a soft flowy wave in either a mohawk or french twist placement. Makeup was dramatic with the focus on a grey and black smokey eye and de-emphasized nude lip. To bring this look off the runway, try lining your eyes with black khol liner and smudging it out using a pencil brush dipped in grey shadow for a smokey liner placement and pairing it with your favorite nude lip gloss or lipstick.

Red Market Salon Event: Beauty, Clothes, Sustainability, and More!
Hosted at the mod loft-turned hair salon in the West Village, Red Market combined fashion, pampering and complimentary cocktails for a diva-worthy evening. Innovative Miguelina, WWD‘s ’07 “new designer to watch” Ardistia and nostalgic Jennifer Fein previewed their spring collections, comprised of seductive silks, vintage couture and magical carefree designs. Guests eagerly sifted through the samples while waiting for either a free hair cut and learning about environmentally friendly line of Davines’ natural hair-care products or testing the Indonesian skin-care treatments from the luxurious beauty brand, Juara.
As if there weren’t enough to bankrupt estrogen-saturated shopaholics, Velvet Angels displayed its confident, “luxury-attainable” footwear that is worth subsisting on tuna for the rest of the month to own a piece of. As frosting on the delicious cake of style, Sabido & Basteris showed off their alternative jewelry line that uses natural materials to create unique timeless pieces to accent a fashion-forward style. The affair was completed with sweet sprinkles of Becca Cosmetics, founded by Rebecca, an Australian make-up artist whose products accommodate the busy lifestyle of the modern woman. And to keep the spoiled guests from feeling too self-indulgent, J. Alexander‘s book Follow A Model was auctioned off to raise proceeds for Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti fund.
