New York Fashion Week is quickly coming to a close, and the most prominent trends from the runways are now making themselves known. Many have not been subtle, as several designers have opted for statement pieces in both clothing and accessories as opposed to minimalism this season. In terms of accessories, one particular stand-out trend has been the headpiece. Designers like Altuzarra, Nicholas K, Lela Rose, and Norma Kamali have incorporated the dramatic accessory into their collections, adding an edge to the styling of each look.

Vaquera’s designers were inspired by the American Dream, while Nicholas K was influenced by street fashion in the 90’s. Sachin & Babi drew from jewels and lively prints found in India; they showed a smaller sized, beaded headpiece paired with a beige embroidered dress. On the subtler, more classic side of things were Kate Spade, Lela Rose, and CG, all of which showed more restrained versions of the accessory.

Click through the slideshow above to see how other designers incorporated one of the more daring accessories into their upcoming Fall/Winter collections.

NYFW FALL 2013: Backstage Beauty at Kate Spade

by fashion pulse contributor

The Show: Kate Spade Fall 2013

The Hair Inspiration: Big hair has never looked so good thanks to Tommy Buckett, the lead hair stylist for Garnier, came into the mix. Buckett explained that the inspiration for the high sky, over-the-top volume flaunted on all the models was inspired by the charismatic energy of 1970s New York. He looked to the liveliness of Andy Warhol and thought about the “anything goes” attitude that makes New York, well New York. While talking to Buckett, he also noted that he wanted to “shy away from beach hair and look towards a polished and sleek look.”

Since volume is the essence of this look, Buckett and the Garnier team heat to blow out and set hair by pinning it in sections while using products such as the Fructis Style Volume Extend Pure Volume Dry Shampoo, the XXL Volume Thickening Mousse, Hi-Rise Lift Root Booster, Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector, and Volumizing Anti-Humidty Spray to get the desired effect.

The Makeup Inspiration: Neil Scibelli for Jouer Cosmetics wanted a “fun, a girl in the town in New York” look that embodied the fierce yet sexy New York energy. Using all Jouer cosmetics, Scibelli created a classic New York look with bold three-dimensional lips, strong lashes and retro cat-eye makeup to have an energetic and timeless appeal.

The Nail Inspiration: Wanting to capture 1970s disco, New York inspired nails, Deborah Lippmann created a unique pink color called “Zing Pink,” a combo of three hues with a pyramid stud placed on each nail (Kate Spade’s signature clasp closure), as well as an all black nail using her shade Fade to Black from the Debra Lippman Collection.
