There was a lot to watch at NYFW, but we were all eyes for Rebecca Minkoff’s new collection and enjoyed spotting RGB nail colour across various catwalks. Go behind the scenes with Rebecca Minkoff:
Brights, blocking and exotic textures continued to feature on the runways for the SS12 collections, extending the trends seen in the AW11.12 lineups. Accessories took front and centre, with almost all designers showcasing their offerings on the catwalks.
After a few seasons of outlandish manicures, nail trends have favoured the sedate and classic, with a traditional palette of nudes and reds seen almost everywhere.
OK, so we have to admit that we’re only ever so slightly inspired by True Blood this week, but chanelling all the way back to gothic-inspired glamour which is the signature of FENTON’s Midnight at Versailles jewellery collection.
Iconic gothic masterpiece, The Nightmare (1781) by Henry Fuseli was our starting point: the tension between love, lust and danger is so tightly depicted that it’s still leaves even a contemporary viewer feeling uncomfortable. After something a bit more up-to-date in your culture stakes? Well, there’s True Blood, of course, as well as cinematic classic, Nosferatu.
Either way, we’re pairing some knockout FENTON jewels with a slick of blood red polish from RGB and we’re set for the midnight hour.
