Supermodel Romee Strijd with HVRMNNSN during New York Fashion Week – and she wasn’t the only one!
Sustainable fashion statement
Both bags demonstrate Scandinavian design, oversized dimensions and what HVRMNNSN describes as a “sustainable fashion statement”, as the tote bags are hand sewn at a 140-year-old family-run tannery in Sweden, with organic, traceable, vegetable tanned leather.
Next, start sectioning the hair from the bottom and spritz the hair with water. Then slick the hair down with the WELLA Professional EIMI Sculpt Force. Repeat until you reach the top of the head.
Slick back hair starting from the hair line all the way back using the Hot Tools Comb.
To get that dewy yet polished look, spray the WELLA Professional EIMI Thermal Image Heat Protection Sprayinto dry hair for added texture.
Top it off with WELLA Professional EIMI Glam Mist Shine Mist for ultimate shine and polished look.
For her tenth collection, Spring/Summer 2018, designer Sandy Liang continues to approach her brand’s downtown roots with new, playful interpretations of nostalgic narrative, and elevated experimentation with shirting and all-year transitional outerwear. Liang also introduces color-blocked oversize knit polos, floaty eyelet and lace paired with her hallmark statement leather jackets and neck-cozying shearling. Piece by piece and collection by collection, Liang builds strong through lines in her clothes that reveal a consistent understanding of her girl, as well as the riffs and subversions that make her girl reminisce and smirk.
The SS18 collection plays with tensions in material and embellishment: The Bayside Fleece updates the classic layer-able outerwear with an elegant, luxury jacquard pocket, while dress cuts in the collection reference both strappy garter belts and updated school uniforms. Denim in the collection is embellished with clustered Swarovski crystals, as well as metal loops that originated as nipple jewelry offering a clever nod to punk aesthetics. Work and play combine artfully in the Corbin Belt, which is part garter, part hardware tool belt.
Tailoring is central to the collection: exciting shirting has gaps with girly peeks of skin, a leather apron is closely fitted as a kind of spare outerwear designed with a kangaroo pocket. The Wells Denim Jacket is artfully designed to hang via a long halter from the shoulders, achieving a kind of enviable forever-slouch.
Liang’s subtly wry references are woven through the collection with inventive humor. For Spring, she customized the Lit Print, which features polka dots mixed with tiny rainbow lighters. Gel-filled floral decals grace the bib of lace dresses, a touchable element balanced by the movement of ruffles and black sheer ribbons. Oversize denim is designed with deep pockets marked with a subtle “xx”– referring to the way so many women sign off their e-mails.
Yesterday, Cantu took the NYFW stage again at Tracy Reese’s SS’18 presentation. The show was inspired by the message that ‘Every Woman has a Story’ and featured a mix of models alongside real women.
During the presentation, each woman shared what made them unique, what they believed in, or what inspired them – all in their native tongue.
The beauty look embraced individuality enhancing each woman’s multifaceted personality.
Hair How To: Understated Blowout
Inspiration: Embracing the texture of each woman, we wanted to create a simple yet wearable style that allowed the fashion to be the main focal point.
Hairstylist: Bok-Hee for Cantu
Step 1: Start by spraying roots and lengths of hair with Cantu Refresh Dry Co-Wash for a clean, conditioned base.
Step 3: Once hair is smoothed out, use a 1 ½ inch curing iron to create subtle curls at the lengths. When finished, loosen up the curls with your fingers for a more subtle wave.

It Girl, actress and model Olivia Culpo was spotted wearing the new It Bag “Nude Icon” from Scandinavian brand HVRMNNSN in New York yesterday.
Clean lines, Nordic simplicity and hand sewn quality makes it a modern expression of Scandinavian design. It’s also a sustainable fashion statement: The HVRMNNSN tote bag is sewn on a family-run tannery in Sweden using organic quality leather from the local area. The tannery, Tärnsjö Garveri, is a sought after premium supplier with 140 years of experience and has worked for both Louis Vuitton and Hermès.
The HVRMNNSN leather is controlled and certified as 100 % organic. The HVRMNNSN leather is also tested and certified to be free from harmful substances. The focus on the environment is weighted by the fact that all the selected leathers are bi-products of the local meat industry.
HVRMNNSN tote bag is sold exclusively on www.hvrmnnsn.com. It costs 1,590 EURO/1,895 USD + VAT/taxes at the local rate. Shipping is included.
With NYFW kicking off this week, that means hectic schedules, runway shows, after parties and a jam-packed social schedule all while wanting to look our very best! Oculoplastic Surgeon, Dr. Maryam Zamani, would love to share her guidelines (below) on how you can glow in the midst of the madness.
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate and remove any dead skin that accumulates, particularly in colder temperatures and heating. I recommend a Natural Konjac Sponge to help slough off the dead unwanted skin and allow beautiful new skin to glow through.
Maintain Hydration: Hydration helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, boosts hydration and makes skin glow. Look for a moisturizer with sun protection, brighteners (like Vitamin C), and skin plumpers.
Focus below the neck: never forget the décolletage especially in the season of the little black dress. Use a daily body scrub every morning. Swap your regular body lotion with one with lactic acid to help dissolve rough patches without irritating the skin.
Get a nutritional facelift: Make sure your diet is filled with Omega 3, 6 and 9 to help combat inflammation and maintain the health of the skin and hair. Fruits and vegetables loaded with antioxidant help rid your body of free radicals that make your skin look older
Avoid salty foods for at least two to three days prior to a party to prevent puffy eyes.
Increase your water intake to keep yourself hydrated and counter the effects of alcohol and caffeine.
Do not get a facial or peel the day of a party; this should be done one week before an event to avoid redness and irritation.
In the spirit of NYFW, I’m excited to announce that this month, NordstromBeauty Trend Events are back!
If you’re not familiar, Nordstrom goes backstage every New York Fashion Week to bring the hottest trends from the runway to the consumer. For the Fall 2017 season (as previewed in February), they’ve identified the beauty trends as Bold Berries, Decadent Browns and Flawless Skin (see below for the trend images).
Now through December, you can visit the leading beauty retailer and receive one-on-one time with renowned beauty experts (previous special guests have included Jen Atkin, Charlotte Tilbury, etc.) who will teach you how to achieve the freshest runway-inspired looks with products specific to you. Plus, you’ll get free samples and exclusive gifts with your purchases (while supplies last)!
*Note, Beauty Trend Week dates vary per location and run from Sunday to Saturday. Only some locations have a Beauty Trend Show, which will always take place on Saturday morning.
As we gear up to for an upcoming Fashion Week, one trend we can expect to see is bold blush. As seen on the red carpet by your favorite celebrities and on the runway of Kenzo’s spring show at last NYFW (which used INGLOT makeup) you can expect to see that this bold blush trend is here to stay in 2017. Get your blush brushes ready whether you are going for a heavier look or more subtle blend from cheek to temple, this trend will leave you looking as rosy as ever.
Below please find 3 different products from INGLOT to help you recreate this trend on your own.
INGLOTFace Blush– Classic face blush that adds healthy color to ones face. Rich formula allows smooth application and buildable color.
INGLOTAMC Cream Blush– Light and creamy formula with jojoba oil that provides a velvet finish on all skin types. Thanks to its creamy texture, this blush applies perfectly on any foundation.
