Four fashion looks from the PH5 New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024 Show, with the theme “Factory Life” which was an homage to their Chinese factory, their atelier, the heart of PH5, where the sustainable whimsical fun fashions are created.  The cool collection, designed by Zoe Champion and Wei Lin, included pretty pastels,  light knitwear, tromp l’oeil effects, dyes which changed color with UV exposure in the sun on the rooftop of the Public Hotel.  Feng Shui inspired throughout the show.

The hair by Carly Loura for Cutler Salon/Redken featured shorter looks, some very short, tight sides, many with natural textures.   To see more from this interesting exciting show, CLICK HERE

The Selkie New York Fashion Week Show for Spring 2024 which took place in the St Regis rooftop ballroom was something else. It was a whimsical fantasy fairy tale showcasing models of all sizes, ages, one gorgeous girl in a wheelchair, two burlesque performers.  Inspired by the Cottingley Sisters, who convinced the world in 1917 that fairies might exist, Creative Director and Designer, Kimberly Gordon, produced a superspectacular show. She asks “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.

The feminine pretty hairstyles, many with hair extensions, was by Linh Nguyen for Cutler/Redken, and the make up by Lottie for Colour Pop featured a mole, soft bow lips, a flush-like blush.
