Edun Turns the Trendy, Beachy Look Up a Few Notches

Jaime Richards — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:12:33 PDT

What do you get when you mix a little glitter with a little grit? Why, surfer-grunge, of course. That's exactly the essence makeup artist Lloyd Simmonds captured when creating the glimmery, beachy beauty look for Edun. While the skin was kept "perfect and fresh" as if it was brushed by the wind and sun, the eyes were accentuated with MAC's Reflex glitter mixed with Shine Mixing Medium (both professional-only), for an antique-gold sparkle. A combination of the brand's Brit Wit (a dusty rose-mauve) and Posey (a warm peach) blushes were used on the cheeks, along with Shell (a shimmery pink-beige) and Hush (a soft, frosty peach) Cream Colour Bases, which were layered on top for a highlighted look. Lips were given a pale hue in keeping with the surfer style.

For the hair, Bumble and Bumble's Laurent Philippon made sure that the subtly roughed-up coiffure he created felt somewhat structured, all while remaining attractive and wearable. To get his "cool-girl-in-the-sun" look, start with a mixture of the brand's Surf Spray and Prep products for a conditioned-yet-matte texture. Gently backcomb the hair and flat-iron it, for a look that's blurred between soft and shiny, and rough and beachy.

Edun Gets Fashionable Facelift, Maintains Its Ethics

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:00:22 PST

Bono and his wife Ali Hewson are revamping their philanthropic fashion brand, Edun. "We were so keen on our mission [to develop regions in Africa] that we made compromises that maybe we shouldn’t have . . . Without great clothes, we don’t have a business, so it’s important to get that end right," Hewson said.

Thanks to this new goal, and with the help of its backer LVMH, Edun's Pre-Fall collection is already looking better. It will most likely hold a fashion show in New York to unveil the line. What's more, Edun plans to hire a creative director to take the brand to a higher level. Though nothing is for sure, there are rumors that Alexander Wang is among the designers approached for the job. Only time will tell, but no matter who fills the position, I'm confident the brand will soar.

Angela Lindvall Reveals Her Organic Tree Shadows

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:50:22 PDT

Beauty and eco-prowess, now that's what I call a model citizen. Model Angela Lindvall has been living the green life, and now we can live in her efforts. She teamed up with yoox.com’s environmentally sustainable project YOOXYGEN and created a limited edition 100 percent organic cotton EDUN tee. Lindvall’s design is derived from her vision of the environment: “My shirt was created from the shadows of trees. Our shadow side is what sometimes pushes us to grow.” Starting June 30, check out yoox's "ever.green" collections of eco-friendly tees covering themes of design, music, and fashion for both men and women, designed by celebrities. A percentage of proceeds are being donated to Green Cross International, an environmental non-governmental organization.
