Irina Shabayeva, the season six winner of Project Runway, debuted her Fall 2010 collection on Saturday, February 13th, 2010, during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at SIR Stage 37.

The line itself was very inspired by flight and what better way to capture that than by making the makeup look as though it was put on by the quill of a feather as well.
