Backstage at Bridal Fashion Week

Like Fashion Week, Manhattan is abuzz with designers and shows and parties during Bridal Fashion Week. This year I worked behind the scenes at the Wedding Trendspot Spring 2010 runway show as part of the MG Hair and Makeup (my agency!) beauty team. The look for the models was bronze-y with coppery eyes and a "bitten" mouth. Stainiac's hint of tint lip and cheek gel stain was applied to models' lips in the universally flattering color beauty queen (sheer berry pink) and topped with a dab of sheer melon gloss. Hair was casually smoothed half back with subtle twists on the side and loose cascading curls down the back. We were each assigned a model to help dress during the show. Never a dull moment behind the stage as models sprinted back from the runway over and over, unzipping their dresses and diving into the next one, all while wearing 5-inch heels! At times it seemed surreal with all of the taffeta, chiffon, and silk layers flying around with headpieces and bustles, tulle and jewelry. Fifteen designers' collections were showcased and the pace was fast. These girls rocked it! A very big thank you to Paul Newland at Solvara.com for sharing some of his great show photos with me.

  4. Thanks guys - although I can't take full credit for them. It was a group effort (think assembly line!) by our team. On the pics above I worked on the hair and the lips.
