New York Fashion Week Fall 2008 - Backstage with MAC at Herve Leger, DKNY, Preen, Tuleh, Johnathan Saunders

HERVE LEGER | "She's mean," is how Val Garland described the tough sexy woman who prances in Herve Leger bandage dresses.  "The Leger lady is severely sexy -- not obvious sexy."  She threw out the smoky cat eye and instead did a liquid sparkly gold eye with a very chalky pink matte lip...

JASON WU | In fall 2008, we saw the bright lip, while in spring 2008, it was all about cheeks and alshes.  For fall 2008, it is about the glitter eye.  At Jason Wu, we saw a very fifties/seventies-lady show of chiffons, florals, and A-line skirts with fur-trimmed sweaters.  Artist Romy Soleimani...

Pamper Yourself Day aka Valentine's Day for Singles, Part 2
