If you jumped on the ombre bandwagon last year and are ready for the next best thing, you may want to consider hanging tight. Last week I met with David Stanko, Redken’s Haircolor Consultant, to freshen up my color for fall and according to him, ombre is here to stay.

The New York Public Library isn’t just for book worms – it’s where Ports 1961 showcased their Spring 2012 collection. I think the library first received major fashion cred thanks to Sex and the City. Before I dish on the backstage beauty I wanted to say thank you to Jeannine for letting be in her shoes for a week! It was so great being a part of SS 2012 NYFW and most of all being able to share my experiences with you!
It was a nice change of pace from the NYFW headquarters at Lincoln Center to check out a new venue – Pier 94. After taking a peek at the Diesel Black Gold Spring 2012 collection it was evident that the ginormous warehouse was the perfect venue for their show. The clothes had a utilitarian feel with a heavy emphasis on metallics. In contrast, the hair and makeup with loose ponytails and fresh faces hinted at a sexy beach vibe.
A quiet sophistication blended with romanticism while strolling through a dewy environment like the rainforest was the theme for Castello Tagliapietra‘s Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week show. To complement the collection all it took was minimal make up, wet nails and sleek hair.
Betsey Johnson is always one of my favorite shows to cover. Backstage is like a party. There’s a DJ, candy, little champagne bottles to drink with straws, balloons everywhere and signs that Betsey created to get the glam squad, models and her stylists pumped for the show. Of course they’re all signed “xo Betsey.”
The designer was debuting her “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not” collection on Valentine’s Day. Peter Gray was the lead for Redken who worked with angled, blunt 
black bob wigs inspired by the Sassoon movie. Of course just a simple wig for a Betsey Johnson show wasn’t enough, so the team spray painted a dust of gold around a lace pattern to add a fresh fun feel. To keep the wig looking shiny as the models walked the runway, Gray used Redken Shine Flash 02.
Butter London’s Nonie took charge of the nails customizing a shade with the working title, Wallis inspired by Wallis Simpson, which is definitely going to go in production
