CommentBackstage @ Badgley Mischka FW – 2024
Beauty photographed backstage at the Badgley Mischka New York Fashion Week Show for Fall Winter 2024 which took place at the Starrett-Lehigh Building on West 26th Street, and was inspired by the precision and drama of Park Avenue’s glass towers. “It’s a dance we love to do, of control and extravagance,” said the designers, Mark Badgley and James Mischka. The hair here, by Peter Gray and Team, was a classic mid-parted all one length bob, one of the few looks not the knotted ponytail style in the show. The makeup, by Mary Irwin, was about the Moody Blues, perfect for this gorgeous blue ruffled floor length dream gown. To see more fashion, hair and makeup, CLICK HERE

CommentHair Jewelry from Broken Up Earrings – 2023
Peter Gray used broken up Badgley Mischka earrings from the collection as hair jewelry at the Badgley Mischka New York Fashion Week “Romantic Futurism” Show for Fall/Winter 2023. He and his team burned the midnight oil preparing for the show and making hair jewelry for many models with broken up earrings and fabrics from the collection. Such a simple idea, so easy to do and jewelry in the hair can be eye-catching. To see more hair jewelry, some interesting hair, accessories, the fabulous fashions from the show, CLICK HERE

CommentBadgley Mischka Face NYFW Fall – 2023
The face by Mary Irwin for the Badgley Mischka New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2023 Show was inspired by Tamara De Lempicka, the portrait painter loved by the beauty and fashion worlds.
“This makeup is structured but painterly, soft but defined,” said Irwin. “It’s an ultimate play on using shadow and light to create depth, almost trompe l’oeil.” ViseArt Duo Chrome gave the lid reflectiveness. The soft structure of the eye had an elongated shape, with soft dimension going up almost to the brow, hard edges softened beneath the eye where Gold Liner was blended in the lower lash. There was no lower lash mascara, the upper lashes were curled, with just a little mascara. Blush was applied as a diffusion, fair or medium skins got a taupey/neutral lip, darker skins got a berry tone patted in.

CommentPeter Gray HaIr Badgley Mischka NYFW- 2023
The hair for the Badgley Mischka New York Fashion Week Show at Spring Studios for Fall/Winter 2023 was by the one and only Peter Gray. The designers sent him the collage on the left for hair inspiration, of girls in bars and restaurants by Richard Avedon in the 1960s.
There were 40 models, and here are few of the looks the innovative hair designer adapted, making the hair interesting from every angle – front sides, back, something so few attempt to do for runway fashion shows for which we see too many safe ponytails and boring buns or nothing hair. Peter made the hair jewelry from Badgley Mischka earrings, broken up, and fabrics from the designers’ collection with the help of Jamie Hollis, Sammi and his hair team, who burned the midnight oil!!

CommentDream Dress @ NYFW – SS 2023
Red Carpet dream dresses at the Badgley Mischka NY Fashion Week SS 2023 show were inspired by Morocco – the dessert, the spices, the fruits, the trees, the sea, the colors, all burnished to a cosmopolitan polish. The hair by the Peter Gray Team was simple, with movements, brushed back off the face, gelled on the top and at the sides. Makeup by Mary Irwin was customized and included warm mango shades giving subtle mouth watering looks to the eyes, all were harmonized with the glamorous fashions.
