The Higher the Hair, The closer to Purple: Jeremy Scott Spring 2010

Tao at Jeremy Scott Spring 2010 Show

Flinstones was the inspiration for Jeremy Scott’s Spring 2010 collection, what’s unfortunate is I would probably wear some of this stuff too. Imagine, you go to some day spa where you splash mud all over yourself to help purify, cleanse and balance – low and behold, someone walks in wearing a Flintstones print bathing suit.. that’d be me!

The hair and makeup  on display for the Spring 2010 show was just as spectacular as the clothes, I love Tao Okomato’s look amethyst destiny meets stark glitter halo that looks like a winged creature. The hair, a playful site for jovial eyes- Halloween inspiration? Maybe.

I’ve been a long time fan of Mr. Scott and I was delighted to meet him in ‘07 while working with Paper Magazine for their I Love LA issue. He was pleasant, nice and knows ( or knew) my first name. Plus he gave me a very cool gift that I still keep with me. Yes, its small- but a small gesture makes a big impact on this girl. I love my button, and carry it on my weekend travel totes at all times.

What’s Violet + Noir? Chanel’s Vendetta Nail polish.

This collection defines what I would like to capture this fall! Bad Ass lips and no BS eyes to go with my moto-leggings and thrashed boots that took a beating from Paris in 2007.

Wrapping up NYFW- Refinery 29, Gilt and Fuse threw a bash at Santos Party House with Of Montreal performing. While waiting for “Moonage Daydream” was a no-go as Solange Knowles took to the stage to perform “Heatwave”.

Prior to her set, she enjoyed getting down to OM like the best of us but I couldn’t help but admire her headpiece and her lipstick color. A stark violet/purple mass that was bold, beautiful and very wearable! Looks like MAC’s Night Niolet Mattene with a deeper shade mixed.

 ”Girl, you so Violet” was something I would have said if I could muster words at this point- I was too concerned with my own fun!

Founder of Purple Magazine and man about town – Olivier Zahm.

His blog is quite exciting(www.purple-diary.com)and Purple Magazine is fantastic! Being here in NYC has granted me the chance to work with some of the visionaries that have put this magazine together.

Last year I had to run an errand to Purple’s New York office- I was hoping to meet Olivier. But alas he wasn’t there but it was cool to be sent on an assignment.

I kinda miss his avatar on Style.com..

All wrapped in Wine lips to accompany tattooed arms, plaid and tie-dyed skirts and patchwork and intertwined leather. If I were Tavi- I would be peeing on myself!

This is what Fashion Week is about- go Avant Garde or go home..well, I am at home – le sigh

Bold statement lips for Jason Wu’s Spring 2010 show, yes, yes, YES!

If only the lipstick indicator actually worked, just by seeing this show- I would have never thought that we were in the doldrums of a recession.

Along with bold lips comes cocktail dresses in jewel tones accented in accessories that remind us of the fun “yester-year” that had us confident and ready to face the day.

After being formerly introduced into the spotlight earlier this year by Mrs. Michelle Obama- he’s been the “it” designer for the world to take notice.

Will Michelle Obama follow with the lip trend? That would be amazing- a world embraced in a powerful lip fitting to a powerful woman.

Thank you Jason for encouraging the Cherry spirit! Thank you for the first glimmer of hope!
