The major exhibition of approximately 100 works of art by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) coincides with the 100th anniversary of his death, and includes many preparatory sketches for the then daring masterpiece of Madame X, Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau (1859–1915). which created a scandal when first shown in Room 31 at the Paris Salon. Included in this collage, Madame X, far left, and just a few of the impressive Sargent paintings, watercolors, and drawings from his early career in Paris and portraits when he was famous.

Photos: Helen Oppenheim
This Selkie Angel is from the Selkie whimsical fantasy fairytale New York Fashion Week Show for Spring/Summer 2024 at the St. Regis Hotel. The show was inspired by the Cottingley Sisters, who convinced the world in 1917 that fairies must exist.
Creative Director and Designer Kimberly Gordon (@Selkie), who created a superspectacular show. asked “Do You Believe?” She does. And she transported everyone back in time to play dress up – “to embrace your inner child” with her cream puff dresses modernized with magic.
Feminine pretty hair was by Linh Nguyen for Cutler/Redken and the makeup by Lottie for Color Pop featured soft bow lips, a flush-like blush and a mole (not shown here). To see 27 photos with the designer’s nostalgic fantasy fashions, CLICK HERE

CommentLove Shack Fancy Hair NYFW SS24 – 2023
Photos: Helen Oppenheim. Collage helenoppenheim.com
The hair at the Love Shack Fancy New York Fashion Week Show was by Jon Reyman for Aveda. It was ethereal, romantic, superfeminine, and whimsical, as were the fashions.
There were three hair looks – natural, ponytail, or braided. As with the fabulous fashions, there were plenty of beautiful bows, of all sizes, from big squashy ones with embroidery, (see photos to the right) to small bows scattered here and there, some entwined in the braided hair, others bow tied at the ends, ribbons dangling, some just capturing long hair at the back. Hats off to Jon Reyman and his team.
The faces (see bottom left) by Amy Conway for Bobbi Brown were “pretty, ethereal, with fresh skin, a child-like blush on the apple of the cheek, a soft glow on the eye.”
