SS’13 - Helmut Lang
 
LEAD ARTIST: Hannah Murray for NARS Cosmetics
 
TREND: Fresh skin and lived-in makeup

DESIGNER INSPIRATION: “Juergen Teller’s images of Annie Morton came to mind,” said Michael and Nicole Colovos, the husband and wife designing team behind the label. “An off-duty ‘90s girl on a Sunday morning with slept-in, smudged eyes and scrubbed polished skin - a cool, effortless beauty.”

LOOK: “The clothes had a lightness to them with lots of color and print and layering so we wanted to toughen the girls up a little but do it in a fresh, believable way,” said Murray. “The focus is really on the skin, which is fresh, sporty and scrubbed clean.”

Naeem Kahn - Fall 2012

LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry

TREND: Precise, sharply drawn eyes

DESIGNER INSPIRATION: “Italian actress Monica Vitti inspired me,” said the designer Naeem Kahn. “I wanted to do a collection that referenced Italy in the 1960s…a beautiful time.”

LOOK: “The look is all about the precision, sharpness, and the blackness of the line,” said James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry. “Everything else has that ‘barely there’ feeling. The eye line has to be really sharp and pointed up towards the temple - it’s not a cat eye, and it’s not a wide eye. It draws the eyes up.”

Honor - Fall 2012

LEAD ARTIST: James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry

TREND: Pretty, polished skin

DESIGNER INSPIRATION: “It’s a love story between a preppy boy and exotic Argentinean girl,” said Honor designer Giovanna Randall. “The merging of two worlds - very refined and earthy with tapestry prints and a modern take on art deco.”

LOOK: “Skin is beautiful, luminous and glossy,” said James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry. “Eyes are deliberate and were sculpted in a chalky grey shade.”
