At New York International Bridal Week, the team at Badgley Mischka devised a hairstyle inspired by Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor. But instead of the socialite's precise center part, lead stylist Peter Gray for Moroccanoil opted for a less intense look, explaining, "I like the idea of taking something severe and softening it." Gray's modern take on a classic wedding bun is both elegant and Read more

When creating the bevy of bouncy curls for Badgley Mischka, hairstylist Peter Gray for Moroccanoil found his inspiration in somewhat of an esoteric concept, using the late 1920s German film Metropolis as a starting point.

Be it a swanky pool party or chillin' poolside with the fam, the return of the one piece is upon us. Brian Reyes sent out delicate seersuckers, Derek Lam posh loungers, even sexy fashion beast Herve Leger turned down the volume with a Read more

New York Fashion Week ended last week, and now it's time to analyze the styles, from hair to makeup to what polishes we foresee flying off the shelves come March.

The last couple of days have been some of the most experimental of the week. If you've seen the makeup and hair at Marc Jacobs's runway show you know what I'm talking about. While I'm excited to see designers innovating, I'd also like to showcase looks that are achievable without a team of brilliant makeup artists present.
