NY Fashion Week: NARS S/S 2011 Trend Report - Thakoon

NARS was backstage creating the look at the Thakoon S/S 2011 show.

SHOW: Thakoon
LEAD ARTIST: Diane Kendal for NARS Cosmetics
TREND: Golden luminosity
INSPIRATION: “The clothes are light so I wanted the makeup to have a little more impact this time – as if the girls were beautiful, cool fairies,” said designer Thakoon. “I wanted the whole aura to feel like opening windows and letting in a breeze- fresh and romantic but tempered at the same time.”

LOOK: “Golden, but not tanned. As if the girls are glowing from within… with, of course, confidence,” said lead artist Diane Kendal.
