New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 backstage beauty: Big brows at Thakoon, dripping nails at Prabal Gurung and Peter Som proves rainbow-coloured hair is still going strong
Walking through the poorly lit and totally creepy cavern that is Pier 57 to get to to the backstage area for Prabal Gurung really set the tone for his dark beauty theme. Paul Hanlon flattened hair to the head for a Sissy-Spacek-in-Carrie effect and ghostly complexions came courtesy of Charlotte Tilbury. She used pearalized creams on the skin to create an ethereal glow and contoured cheeks for a hollowed out look. To top it all off there were the awesome blood drop nails—the “blood” being a Sally Hansen shade appropriately dubbed “Angel Bite.” And finally, this is sure to be one of my top moments from New York Fashion Week: while backstage Prabal Gurung himself tapped me on the shoulder. “Excuse me, can you please take a picture of us?” he asked. I’m not entirely sure if the picture of Prabal Gurung and his friend turned out, since my hands were shaking the entire time.
