Alexis LaMontagna Replay

I had to do some research this week on the Goth Glam look and it lead me back to my favorite show from LA Fashion Week. I had so much fun revisiting Alexis LaMontagna's March 2008 show I decided to share the pics and videos I found. Here are some beautiful shots of the looks and the goth glam makeup from her show. Click here to see some amazing video of the runway show.

Jason Pure, Natural, and Organic: Satin Shower Body Wash

I have a dirty little beauty secret. I use Jason's Organics Satin Shower Body Wash on my face. Not all the time. Not if I have something like YonKa's Gel Nettoyant on the bathroom counter but some days I need to go back to basics, and when the basics are pure, organic, and orgasmic - in a purely ole factory, rose water, sort of way -well it's a mirthful little secret that my basics are this good. Currently I'm using the Citrus Satin Shower Body Wash. According to their website this product is “Foamy and luxurious, rich in natural oils. Emollients and humectants are combined to make your bathing experience a new pleasure. Use this lavishly fragranced, precious bubbling potion for your bath. Refreshing Citrus, relaxing Chamomile, rich natural Apricot Oil and Vitamin E are concentrated into a formula of unequaled quality." And every one of their words are true. Some may whine and moan that it's more expensive than normal body wash ($11 for 30 oz) but there are no laurel sulfates in any Jason products and they're organic so they won't give me cancer. (I'm willing to pay for that) Also, all of their Satin Shower Body Washes are concentrated, so one 30 oz container usually lasts 2 to 3 months. Once when I was out of face wash I thought, "I put this exceptional (I might go so far as to say even, Olympian) product on my body every day. The scent makes me incredibly happy (if the Citrus is highly enjoyable the Rose Water is virtually hedonistic), it's organic - I bet it would be just fine on my face." And it is. I think the wizardry of this product is that it is as mellowing and moisturizing as a face wash but cleverly packaged as a body wash. And don't we all deserve the downy, tender, softening, texture of a face wash all over our bodies?



As a side note, I have seen their labs and they are very serious about the quality of their ingredients. It just so happens that on a morning walk around smashbox studios during LA Fashion Week, I stumbled upon the company headquarters of the very products I have been using for years. Below are some pictures from outside their Culver City HQ

Bow and Arrow with Makeup by Lori Taylor

Bow and Arrow just showed their collection at LA Fashion Week and everyone was raving afterwards. Elegant. French. Detailed. Beautiful. Classic. The girls were made up as a combination of '80s Brooke Shields and Brigitte Bardot and Lori Taylor's makeup was the icing on the cake. Here she is describing her makeup for this show.


The girls were stunning and the clothes were beautiful. Delicate articulate pieces of art that alluded to a beautiful French spy.


Here is the show closing.

Falguni and Shane Peacock's US Debut at LA Fashion Week

The absolutely adorable and accommodating PR folks for this design duo went to the trouble of putting together the information below for us. So I thought I'd put it to good use and post it. (Also my brain is dead from all shows, interviews, and unexpected encounters with the likes of Lauren Conrad and Jenna Jameson):


"The Fall/Winter 2008 Falguni and Shane Peacock's collection will be an anthology of glamorous and feminine dresses with a couture charm perfect to any red carpet event. These neoclassical draped gowns; shift dresses and kaftans dresses are finished with hand detailing of luxe diamante encrustations wile feathers are employed as decorative details in shades of tea berry, burnt ochre, green moss and pewter." "The design duo of Falguni and Shane Peacock has garnered international attention as a mainstay of India Fashion Week and are known for their ultra-feminine and glamorous designs worldwide. Focusing on dresses that are dreamy, youthful, and dramatic and have a strong sense of style"




The shots above are from the hair and makeup stations backstage.

Alexis LaMontagna: The absolute best part of LA Fashion Week


Alexis LaMontagna is brilliant. (check out the video of my interview with her!) Some designers seem to do a lot of work to summon a look or a creation and others just seem blessed to have "it". Alexis is naturally overflowing with "it" and her designs mirror this natural talent in a way that reveals how narcissus became entranced by his own image and fell in. Today I fell into Alexis LaMontagna's show and although the day took me other places to meet interesting people and see others’ creations, at the end of it all, listening to the CD given out at her show, I knew I would return home, my own creativity expanded just by having seen LaMontagna's Fashion Week debut. Her designs well over with a natural essence and style - pouring out images of Dita von Teese and a young incorrigible Morticia Adams onto the average business woman's sexy essentials. The excitement I had watching her designs trot down the runway was not unlike the feeling of walking into a Betsey Johnson store for the first time at age 16. I knew I was discovering something lasting. Something special. I can't wait for the day when I go home to DC and walk into the Alexis LaMontagna store. Her clothes are an extension of her - dark-haired, sexy femininity that is at once strong and inviting, romantic and dark, fantastical and direct. She had a stunning debut to put it mildly. It has a been a few years since I have seen anything come out of fashion that does not immediately conotate too much effort to conform, or "pop", or resemble an architectural structure. Like many other women I'm dying for clothes that celebrate a unique, sexual, dynamic, powerful, yet inviting woman. Alexis does this and drapes every ounce in an infectious sexiness. LaMontagna combines Japanese denim, cashmere, leather, and lace into a seamless recipe for the powerful yet inviting sexy woman. I felt more attractive just looking at her designs. Her runway was populated by lots of teeny little tanks and exceedingly well tailored high waisted trousers and skirts that do nothing but defy the current loosely shaped potato bags everyone seems to be in love with. Thank god for something new, something bold, and something that celebrates the female form. I'll let the pictures fill in the details, but just in case you are wondering who the break out star of fashion week is...it is Alexis LaMontagna.

Lori Taylor's Makeup at Octavio Carlin


Lori Taylor is everywhere at LA Fashion Week. She is exuberant, creative, kind, and clear in her instruction to the makeup artists re-creating her designs. I watched her fearlessly lead two makeup teams today; Octavio Carlin and Veronika Jeanvie. She picks one model and applies her makeup, explaining each brush stroke and each sparkle to her team of makeup artists who look on and ask questions as necessary.In this video Lori explains her take on the makeup she did today for Octavio Carlin to Marta from Beauty Interviews.




As I waited backstage with the team of makeup artists for her arrival I noticed an image of an Audrey Hepburn-like woman taped to each makeup station. Lori picks this image and then walks the team through each step in creating the "woman" for the show. Whereas the Octavio woman was very 40s glamorous the Veronkia woman was completely space-age and dramatic. No matter what woman Lori is creating she is fun to be around, knowledgeable, and excessively talented. Her joy for makeup is almost childlike and her generosity shows in her patience with lurking bloggers such as myself, to whom she seems endlessly willing to explain each show's look.

La Fashion Week's must-have skin care product: Yonka Lait Nettoyant


LA Fashion week is a bee hive of brilliant artists. Makeup artists, stylists, designers, set designers, musicians, writers. The pace is fast and the opportunities for creative inspiration are endless. This can leave a girl's skin somewhat exhausted. Not to mention that this week's events are at smashbox studios which means there is also a lot of makeup around. YonKa's Lait Nettoyant seems made for an event like this. It is a perhaps less important but still brilliant act of providence that I happened to obtain this product from Beauty Gone Green just before my departure. According to Beautygonegreen.com "Lait Nettoyant is a thorough and gentle cleansing agent that revives the skin's protective lipids, leaving the complexion feeling soft and alive. The skin is sumptuously cleansed with a luxurious sensation of comfort. The complexion is smooth and hydrated with a satiny finish to the touch." It also removes layers upon layers of makeup in the blink of an overly made up eye. My face appears nourished and luminous even if I am a little overwhelmed.
