Repost.  Brrr. It’s cold outside.  This fab fur hood was one of many great fashions for harsh, winter weather shown at the Nicholas K Fall/Winter 2014 New York Fashion Week Show.  It’s a winner, as were more fashions at this show, by the siblings, Nicholas and Christopher Kunz.

All the hair, um, wigs, were by Jon Reyman for Aveda and had a strong asymmetric geometric look with a hair fringe going up over one eyebrow. More from this great show, click:

Pewter lacquer (Take-The-A-Train available Fall 2014) was dressed with holographic glitter in the half moon (Glitter and Be Gay.) The nails were inspired by Gustav Klimt, the turn-of-the-century Austrian artist who has inspired so many, including the red-carpet Badgely Mischka  collection of opulent fashions.
