Beauty Mark: NYFW Fall 2010 - The Bold & The (Naturally) Beautiful

By: Nicole James

February 19th, 2010



New York saw a variety of looks at Fall 2010 Fashion Week, but not the variety I was hoping for.  For many designers, the theme seemed to be “all or nothing.”  Dark eyes and sassy hair were seen at Derek Lam, Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera, and DVF while some kind of “non-look” showed up at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, and Narciso Rodriguez.

Overall I was a bit underwhelmed, but there were some standouts:

* Purple, purple, purple - seen most notably at Carolina Herrera.
* Vamp lips - Proenza Schouler and Derek Lam rocked ‘em.
* Huge headbands and red lips - Donna Karan is always classic.
* Long, straight hair - absolutely everywhere! 
* Updos spotted at Vera Wang while Oscar De La Renta channelled the 80s.

My verdict:  Best Beauty goes to Michael Kors - he just understands women and what makes not only their bodies look good, but also their faces.  I’m giving Worst Beauty to Erin Wasson x RVCA: from what I understand, no gal wants to walk around with one janky eyebrow.
