Pregnant Jourdan Dunn Attends London Fashion Week

If anyone was wondering where six month prego Jourdan Dunn was/is for fashion week…well, she was spotted front row at Topshop Unique and Issa.
TRENDSPARK: Mimicking The Half Shaved Head
Rumor has it that Corey’s half-shaved haircut was all the rage at the Diesel Party last night, but let’s face it, us girls aren’t so willing to part with half of our heads for a an edgy, Alice Dellal look. Despite the fact that Dellal herself walked in the Issa Fall 2009 runway show, all the other models appeared to have the infamous haircut, but surprise, no shaving was involved! While Issa hairstylist Malcolm Edwards’ process is a bit complicated, you can achieve the Dellal look by mousing back and blow-drying stiff the side with less hair (depending on where your part is) and bringing all dry, voluminous hair in front of the opposite side. The trick here is to use a mouse that is strong enough to hold your length/thickness of hair back so it doesn’t come creeping out!
Looks like I’m going to have to try this one for Fashion Week!

Alice Dellal Half Shaved Head Inspires Issa





“The Alice Dellal” look inspired the Fall 09 ready to wear collection of Issa. Instead of shaving the models heads, an optical illusion was created with hair spray and bobby pins. Dellal walked with what looked to be a fresh shave on one side and a new dye job—with complimentary extensions—on the other. Love the new color!

BeautySpark: The Baby Face
This trend has been around for ages, but it seems to be recurring. With the fall season well underway, this gives you a whole two seasons to contemplate and allow the Spring/Summer 2009 trend of the baby face to ingrain itself in your brain. I know, I know…you feel naked without your caked on mascara, eyeshadow, foundation and eyeliner. The truth is, and always has been, that the youthful, natural look is what’s in.
Issa’s Spring 2009 models showed the exact youthful aesthetic that Spring 2009 will bring. World renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath told Vogue that ”bronzed cheeks, beautiful pinky highlights and nice healthy skin” were key for Issa’s look. He also added that a smudged, youthful smokey eye and light, glossed lips are big!
