Alisha Trimble collaborated with director Seth Edwards to shoot an innovative, genre-bending short on 16mm film. The story line is an Old-Hollywood-meets-contemporary society take of two actresses fighting for the limelight. The dramatic tension is fueled with music by Emily Zuzik and Tim Lefebrve.

Caycee Black created an intertwining of moments and clues along a woman’s path on Super-8 film with experimental filmmaker Mary Billyou. Caycee’s paintings, which turn into her prints each season, are filtered through the film in playful movement. The film was described by Billyou as “a sunny day, Kuleshov visits Fort Tilden’s ruins, in the form of a Brighton Beach model dawning polka-dots and acid colors, accompanied by a haunting melody, futuristic static, and crickets.” If that looks as genius as it sounds, we can’t wait.

Here’s a glimpse backstage at the Alisha Trimble Fall/ Winter 2010 show. Created by hair and make-up designer Christie Puccio, here’s a step by step how to for “Vacation in Detroit”

Step 1: Dark and edgy metallic eye

“I used Mac pro platinum pigment from the inner corners of the eye to past the center of the lid. To create a sharp smoky eye, a small edged detail brush was used to define and fill the desired area past the outer eye. To blend the bright pigment into the black hard edge, a deep grey is used. For the lower lid, I filled the inner rim with a black eye pencil and continue the edge from the top lid to the lower lid, and finished with mascara and large false eyelashes.”

Step 2: Skin & custom lip color

“Toning and moisturizing the skin is important to prep for photo shoots, so I used Clarins toner, and Embryolisse moisturizer. Next, I used Temptu’s silicone based foundation. Rather than using a blush color, a Temptu highlight was added to the high cheekbone to give the face a sheen glow. For the lip color, I lined and filled the lip with Mac color “Spice,” & put on a deep purple lipstick. The shade “smoked purple” was used because of its matte consistency as well as the perfect shade of deep eggplant. Mac tinted “c-thru” lip glass was used to add shine and to enhance the desired purple. To finish the lip, a gold pigment was patted on with a brush.”

Step 3: Wild- style updos by Key Hairstylist Rudy Villalobos from Arrojo.

“Here is a bit of the details on what I did for the show/photo shoot: We pulled back the sides to create a sleek smooth updo, then height was created on top in a few different ways-a modern take on the pompadour for long hair. Some looks had a smooth finish and some a bit messy finish. The rest of the hair was left down to show off how long each models hair was originally, with occasional added extensions in blonde and black.”

Products used:

Arrojo Thermal Protector
Arrojo Volume Foam
Arrojo Shine Spray
Arrojo Styling Creme
Arrojo Texture Paste

Check out a great step by step on how to get indie fave designer Alisha Trimble’s runway look.

HAIR HOW-TO:
By Key Hairstylist Rea Winter
From Arrojo Studio

Start by prepping damp hair with Arrojo styling creme. This product creates maximum texture with a strong hold and a light feel, wrap dry with a large paddle brush to create root lift and direction for your parting.

Once the hair is dry, part hair to the side starting at the front and pull your hair into a low ponytail. Tie your hair into a knot and securely pin with 1 or 2 Bobby pins, tucking in any loose ends.

The idea is to make it look relaxed and not overstyled. So if there are some wispy pieces, that’s ok! The most important thing is the prep of the hair with the styling creme so no pins slip out! You can finish with a spritz of Arrojo hair spray.

MAKEUP HOW-TO:
By Makeup Designer Sara Franzese
sarafranzese@gmail.com

Start with a primer and tinted moisturizer from Smashbox Cosmetics. A soft cream blush from Stila dotted on the apples of cheeks and spread up towards the temple will create a natural flush. Follow with a highlight on the cheekbones as in “All Over Seduction” by Edward Bess.ni

For a smoky eye, a kohl liner works great and smudging any eyeshadow over it will intensify the look. Try Laura Mercier in Black Violet or Black Gold. Also for a subtle lip, her lip stain in Shy Pink is great on almost any skin tone.

As a final step, I use Kevin Aucoin mascara and clean up under the eyes with concealer.

Thanks BBC for everything the video totally rules!

This just in…

Aggy Deyn was spotted buying a handmade owl frock by New York Couture (kind of like the one showcased on the Brooklyn Bridge last night) at the Dressing Room Boutique & Bar (one of our fave boutiques, shout out to designer Alisha Trimble for reping the spot hard) on the Lower East Side.

And since we are hosting the humongous New York Couture show next Wed at Mansion (mark your calendars) maybe Aggy the Great will make an appearance. Guess you’ll have to be there to find out.

Thank NY Post

Okay, maybe not so much, but I do love how what’s deemed fashionable now was theoretically available months ago by young designers. You got to love indies abilities to be ahead of the trend

Alisha Trimble knocked our sockies off during the Fall / Winter 2008 shows, but it wasn’t until today that we got video we can share. Check out this up and coming designer fresh out of the down and dirty streets of NYC.  She makes some killer dresses that are a will make every night out at the club feel like prom night. You can find her indie goodness at The Dressing Room – 75a Orchard Street between Broome & Grand Streets.
