Backstage at Anna Sui: Models, Beauty & Thoughts from the Designer

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

I spent the hour before the Anna Sui show in the thick of the behind the scenes action. Trying to make myself as unobtrusive as possible to the getting ready process, I glided around witnessing top models like Karlie Kloss, Arizona Muse, Frida Gustavsson and beautiful others prepping through hair and makeup. I heard directly from the head hair and makeup artists about the thought process behind the super mod look. I even got a word in with Anna Sui herself in the moments before the start of the show! Oh, and I had some fun with sunglasses…

Marc Jacobs gets interviewed for the latest Louis Vuitton campaign featuring the “plus-sized” Lara Stone. I can’t understand how people consider this girl fat. I’m really loving her lately.

BeautySpark: The Baby Face

Edited by Kirby Marzec

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!

Thanks Vogue and STYLE!

Hitting the newsstands is September is Glamour magazine. Normally Glamour is always hitting the right notes; a fun read to divulge into the world of beauty, fashion, news, and tips (not before Fashionindie of course), but we can’t say we agree with one of their articles in the making. Glamour is set to release an article, in their September issue, featuring “Seven People Who Could Change Your Style”. The list is less than impressive. The seven “fashionistas” include Pat McGrath, Victoria Beckham, Christian Louboutin, Alber Elbaz, Takashi Murakami, Serge Normant, and Agyness Deyn. Though many of these men and women have made significant names for themselves, I think it’s a little overboard to say that these seven people would change anyones style. Don’t get me wrong, their individual and unique and they let their clothes speak for themselves, but to say they start the trend? It’s ridiculous!

Thanks to fashionista for the pic!
