SHOW: CREATURES OF THE WIND SS‘16
LEAD ARTIST: Aaron de Mey for NARS Cosmetics
LOOK: “The look was inspired by singer, Siouxsie Sioux. She always had a very strong eye look - it had the same spirit, but was applied differently each time. The look is very eclectic with a lot of layering, which plays off the layering in the collection. It's punk, tough looking. I loved the richness of the gold against the toughness of the black. It’s an updated, modernized take on eyeliner.”

SHOW: TANYA TAYLOR SS‘16


LEAD ARTIST: Uzo, NARS International Lead Makeup Stylist


LOOK: “The inspiration for the look was taken from Meryl Streep's Danish baroness character from the film "Out of Africa" – which is loosely based on the beauty looks of European aristocrats who migrated to Africa in the 1920’s/30’s. The pink-lilac hues on the lips and cheeks combined with the cool, quintessential Tanya Taylor aesthetic of illuminated skin play off the beautiful prints in the collection.”

SHOW: Opening Ceremony SS‘16
LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry
LOOK: “The collection was inspired by the unfinished projects of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright so it has a lot of graphic elements - sharp tailoring and cutouts with architectural edges. There is also this botanical element to the presentation, so we talked about the idea of hothouse flowers, a botanical green house with moisture and condensation on the skin. The look is really controlled, beautiful sweat - nude, muted lip with very glossy skin.”

LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry
LOOK: “The presentation is like an immaculate accessories floor in an imagined department store, the whole space is bathed in a dusty mauve color, with shop girls and clients trying the new collection. The collection features textiles designed by Alexander Girard, the mid-century interior designer and architect from the late 50’s, early 60’s. To reference the 60's without being too literal, we did chunky ‘Twiggy’ lashes and a fresh, blushes look on the ‘clients.’”

SHOW: Marc Jacobs SS‘16
LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, Founder & Creative Director
LOOK: “The look is very downtown – it’s the East Village girl who’s been out all night. Marc wanted them to look a little worn, so we created a look with too much mascara, just the right amount of color, no foundation, and dark circles under the eyes. There’s a lot of shine on the cheeks and eyes – they almost look greasy and a bit tired, but still so beautiful.”
