Despite Daisy Lowe’s recent agency switch and rumors of her hard partying ways jeopardizing her modeling career she has landed the Fall ‘09 Anna Sui campaign. This looks like an out take to me, maybe they should have hired a real model.

As if Marc Jacobs didn’t have enough obnoxious tattoos, he recently told fellow designer, Anna Sui, about his new ink: “Elizabeth Taylor from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? with 3-D sunglasses on.” Images aren’t yet released, but I’m sure they’ll rouse a good laugh once the photogs get wind.
Thanks Fashionologie!
COLLAB HO: Anna Sui for Target

Anna Sui is set to be designing for the Designer Collaborations program at Target, and follows in the footsteps of Alexander McQueen. This is separate from Target’s Go International range which uses up and coming designers such as Luella and Proenza Schouler.
Sui’s inspiration for the range is Gossip Girl, Sui told WWD:
“I have always been a fan of designer partnerships with mass retailers, I think it is a great way to bring fashion to everyone. I love Go International and was intrigued with Target’s new take on designer partnerships. It’s a fresh approach. I was able to select a muse or source of creative inspiration to focus the collection around. It is an exciting challenge to try and interpret my aesthetic into a mass-produced product with a specific inspirational source as the focus. I liked the idea of creating a collection reflective of each characters’ style, sensibility and unique approach to fashion. By combining the elements of art, city, spirit, punk and glamour, we created a collection that exudes New York City fashion.”
Available Sept 13th.
BEHIND THE BEAUTY: S/S 09 Trends

This season, it’s all about the skin, glowing skin. All of the catwalk makeup looks had a clash of bold colors vs neutral nudes. I picked two makeup looks from the runway that I like. With so many great looks, from the red pout to the All-American peachy glow, let me know which makeup style works best for you.
NUDE
Brown shadows are worked around the eye with curled, mascara-free lashes and cheekbones are highlighted with pinky taupe blusher. A dash of shimmer across the cupid’s bow and don’t forget the neat brows.
Calvin Klein
Jill Sander
GLOW
Suitable for all skin tones, this look gets you glowing with blushers, eye shadows and lipsticks in varying peachy hues for a sculpted, sun kissed look.
Anna Sui
Elie Saab
PASTELS
Pale green, pink and lilac shadows give an almost futuristic appeal. In some cases eyes, lips, and cheeks were accentuated.
Alena Akhmadulliha
Emporio Armani
REDS
Red lips are back in a big way. The shade to the model’s skin tone – a mix of reds and pinks is mixed directly onto lips.
Michael Kors
Hussein Chalayan
THE BLACKOUT
Eyes took on a twist. Lids were lined with plenty of black kohl, tapered at the edges of the eye for a winged effect.
Caroline Hererra
Roberto Cavalli
Naomi Campbell Fails to Inspire Charity

Naomi Campbell walked in a charity show at Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai over the weekend. Many designers like Anna Sui, Oscar de la Renta, DVF and Naeem Khan donated dresses for the event, to be auctioned on eBay to raise money for victims of the Mumbai attacks. Unfortunately, many of the bids are still going for pennies, which means no one is buying these amazing gowns.
Get your hands on one of the dresses here, you have seven days.

BEHIND THE BEAUTY: Runway Hair

Read More:alexander wang, anna sui, Cynthia Rowley, Diane Von Furstenberg, Erin Fetherston, L'Wren Scott, Nathaniel Hawkins, rachel roy, Rebecca Taylor, Richard Chai, Runway Hair, thakoon, Tracy Reese, tresemme
TRESemmé signed on as the official haircare sponsor of this year’s spring shows for NYC Fashion Week granting the
brand with backstage access at one of the industry’s biggest events. TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist Nathaniel Hawkins, who led the hair teams for Tracy Reese and Cynthia Rowley, dishes his secrets for getting the look.
“This season, we saw a return to simple, yet beautiful hair. Whether the look of the show was
soft and feminine or exhibited more of an edge, the common thread remained the hair looks -
face flattering and pretty. And the best thing about these styles is that they are easy to achieve
with the right products and tools,” says Hawkins.
Here are the trends, right off the runways, courtesy of TRESemmé:
Wave of Independence
“Gone are the days of binding curls and waves. This season, it is all about laid back, yet feminine glamour,” adds Hawkins. Rachel Roy, L’Wren Scott, Rebecca Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg and Anna Sui all sent this look down their runways. To get these hot waves:
1. Scrunch TRESemmé Flawless Curls Curl Hydration Lotion Crème into damp hair.
2. Blow dry the hair with a diffuser using the fingers or let it dry naturally.
3. Part hair evenly down the middle and finger comb each side into a ponytail.
4. Taking each ponytail, twist the lengths of the hair until it starts to twist onto itself,
creating a bun on each side of the head; secure each bun with a hair pin.
5. Using the diffuser, dry each bun and let the hair sit for 20 minutes.
6. Remove the pins and finger comb hair, creating beautiful, tousled waves.
7. Run a dime-size amount of the TRESemmé Anti-Frizz Secret Styling Crème over the
lengths of the hair to tame flyaways and add shine.
Mixed Up
“A lot of shows this season featured a dual-finish hairstyle with either a mix of shiny and matte or rough and smooth,” notes Hawkins who created such a look for Cynthia Rowley’s show. Other designers who showcased the look included: Alexander Wang, Erin Fetherston, Thakoon and Richard Chai.
To copy the ponytail follow these simple steps:
1. Pull hair back into a ponytail using a boar bristle brush
2. Work TRESemmé Anti-Frizz Secret Styling Crème into the hair at the top of the ponytail
but not throughout the lengths of the hair.
3. Spray the mid-shafts and ends of the hair with TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat
Tamer Spray.
4. Blow dry hair against the natural direction of the cuticle to create a rough texture, which
will contrast the sleek, shiny top section of the head.
5. Finish this look with a touch of TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray
throughout the ponytail.
Hawkins and the TRESemmé Styling Team tied shiny black ribbon on all of the models at the Cynthia Rowley show to add a touch of glam.
Soft Around the Edges
“Stick straight locks had their moment on the runway, but the look right now is all about smooth hair with some bend and movement,” says Hawkins. This chic style was seen on the runways of some of fashion’s biggest names including BCBG, Doo.Ri and Donna Karen. Hawkins loved the way this styled complemented the straight lines at the Herve Leger show.
Getting the look is simple:
1. Apply TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray to hair, followed by a liberal application of TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse from the roots of the hair to the ends.
2. Blow hair dry with a medium-sized round brush.
3. Spray Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray onto the hair again.
4. Take sections of hair twice the depth of the flatiron plate, pull the iron away from the head to create a slight curvature.
5. Add runway-worthy shine by lightly spraying the TRESemmé No Frizz Shine Spray.

TrendSpark: Monochrome

Great article in WWD about the newest (well heard about it for some time, but now it’s official) trendspark for fall: monochromatic looks from heard to toe.
“Come Fall, designers like Maurizio Pecoraro are advocating a monochrome vision that extends from head to stockinged toe. “My idea was to create a pure look,” explains Pecoraro, who conjured his eighties-era memories of singly hued looks from Claude Montana. The cherry on top of this ultra-matched look is tights, particularly in hard-to-find hues like persimmon at Bottega Veneta, ocher at Nina Ricci, and burgundy at Albino. (Stow the matte black Wolfords for next season.) Knee boots created a similar effect at Akris and Halston, but hosiery’s hegemony is undeniable. Even pattern-loving designers like Anna Sui and Paul Smith ordered up custom leg wear for complete coordination.”
