Today’s tutorial features a look from Christian Lacroix’s Fall Couture show, which we felt would get the praise of Justin Tranter…totally want to see him rock this!

Tutorial:
-Start with a blank canvas or very light make-up, this look is all about the elaborate eyes so you don’t want to distract from them with bright lipstick or heavy blush
-With a black eyeliner, lightly line the bottom and top creases and go over it again with liquid eye liner for a bold look

-Next, trace your eyes with green eyeliner and sweep out at both corners

-Lastly, use shadow to darken the creases, highlight the green with a lighter color or shimmery shadow and complete the look with a quick swipe of mascara over top lashes

*Also, instead of green you can try other colors.  Purple usually brings out brown eyes, Gold illuminates hazel eyes and for Blue or Green eyes blues and greens are best!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Thanks Fashionologie!

It’s that time again where big name designers tantalize us with flawless couture, forcing us to the shallows of wishing we were trust fund babies and had the means to rock haute Dior. Despite the fact that the recession has dictated the death of luxury, some of us still dream of flaunting a Birkin Bag and owning real Yves Saint Laurent cage heels. 

I applaud this ballsy individual who decided to carry a “couture” Chanel purse, constructed from a paper bag, a permanent marker and a chain. Although I really dig the sloppily drawn logo, you could get really creative and actually design your own luxury paper bag purse. And if you’re really into it, laminate it for multiple uses! 

I’m not the best sketcher. I can barely paint. My sewing skills aren’t the best. But this DYI, this I can do. This I will do. 

Thanks Fashion Copious!

John Galliano sent the models at the Christian Dior Couture show 1/2 dressed. Rescission friendly idea, shock tactic or laziness? You decide.

The master of couture John Galliano kicked off Haute Couture Week in Paris with a breathtaking Christian Dior show. Although Galliano rarely disappoints, its has been awhile since he’s produced a show of such beauty. Galliano indulged in what he does best-taking the roots of Dior, the ‘New Look’ silhouettes, and putting a subversive edge to it. Here are the highlights thanks to Catwalking:

Karl talks Chanel with some random news station. I just love the idea of pants in Haute Couture.
