I’ve recently interviewed fashion designer Stanley Adams during New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 for Style Interviews! Here it is:

During New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 I’ve had an amazing opportunity to attend the Stanley Adams Carr Haus (if the walls could talk..) fashion show and even got to interview him.

I also met and interviewed some guests of Stanley Adam’s show, such as: Stacey McKenzie, Myron Christian, and Robert Reynolds.

Stanley Adams’ desire to enter the fashion world began with his fascination with Parisian houses of Dior, Emanuel Ungaro, Valentino, and Christian Lacroix. Stanley Adams Couture is designed for the upscale workingwoman, she loves to dress simple but attractive. Stanley Adams Couture is available by appointment only with plans to launch in high-end boutiques in the U.S. this fall.

In this interview Stanley Adams talks about presenting his Fall 2009 collection in New York City, his inspiration for the collection, Charlize Theron as one of his ideal celebrities to wear his designs, and future plans.

Stacey McKenzie is Canadian fashion model, runway coach and most recently a model coach and judge on the Canadian reality television show Canada’s Next Top Model.

While watching the Tory Burch Fashion Show during New York Fashion Week Fall 2009, I spotted Kim Raver from Lipstick Jungle as one of the Tory Burch’s celebrity guests.

Kim Raver is best known for her role as Nico Reilly on the TV show Lipstick Jungle.

Other celebrities seen at Tory Burch that night, included: Amanda Bynes and Kanye West.

Here are some of the MAC Cosmetics makeup look for London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2009:

DESIGNER: Giles
ARTIST: Miranda Joyce

“The collection is quite structured so I wanted the look a bit undone-that’s why we purposely smudged the lip a little bit. It’s a true bright matt-ish red but patted on so you get this soft, sexy, mouth.”-Miranda Joyce.

Eyes: Clear brow set-combed through brows. Plushblack Plushlash mascara-applied lightly to top lashes.

Skin: Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation-blended into the skin. Prep+Prime Loose-Applied to set foundation. Luna Cream Colour Base-Blended as a sheer highlight onto the inner corners of the eyes, bridge of nose, forehead and wrapped around tops of cheek bones to accentuate the nudity of the face.

Taylor Momsen was spotted at Marchesa and Anna Sui’s A/W 2009 shows wearing NARS Cosmetics.

Taylor Momsen portrays the character Jenny Humphrey on The CW television series Gossip Girl.

“Taylor wanted a smoky, strong eye – her signature look,” said NARS Makeup Artist Sharon Brown. “I used Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil to rim her eyes and smudge over the entire lid.”

…Blue shadow was layered for a pop of color. Finally, Cyprus, a bronze shadow with shimmer, was added for a flawless transition into her next outfit.

“She was wearing a beautiful dress with copper accents later that night so I wanted the look to work well into the evening.” With the eyes as the focus, the cheeks were kept soft and highlighted, and the lips were delicately glossed with a new sheer pink grapefruit shade for spring.

Below is Sharon’s step-by-step to recreate Taylor’s look:

New Fashion Week Fall 2009 recap by NARS Cosmetics: NARS Cosmetics was backstage creating the makeup look at Thakoon.  NARS Lead Makeup Artist: Diane Kendal.

TREND: Smoky eyes. Inspiration: The collection took inspiration from the 1940’s, reflecting the surrealist images of photographer Lee Miller. Combined with a bit of 80’s rock and roll glam, makeup artist Diane Kendal created a strong look without being too girly.

Look: “The look is all about the eyes with soft matte lips for contrast,” said Diane Kendal. To bring strength to the face, Diane focused on creating smoky eyes and full brows, while downplaying the lips and keeping skin fresh with a light brushing of blush for a healthy glow.
