Minx & Marc Jacobs. A fashionable Collaboration

A fashionable collaboration, as Minx Nails team up with Marc Jacobs (unfortunately not available in the UK why?). The outcome of such a stylish duo is ‘One Night Stand’ – a collection of nail appliques complimenting the chic 70’s style prints at the Marc By Marc Jacobs Autumn 2011 show.

The limited edition range is available at Saks New York as part of the Fashion’s Night Out event next week.
Hopefully this is the start of many Minx/ fashion designer collaborations, which will also be available to the UK.
However, for now, I may have to settle with grovelling over the phone to some long lost friends/ family/ colleagues in NY in an attempt to score a pack of these!

Backstage: Nars & Marc Jacobs Fall 2011

The girls on the Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 runway show were sporting a surprisingly minimal look; fresh but of course with a cheeky twist. It’s a totally wearable look with defined cheekbones,  blushed cheeks and a defined upper lashline. The blush is brushed downwards, a mirror effect to how it would normally be. I’d definitely recreate this for daytime.

Behind the look is the legendary Francois Nars, founder and creative director of Nars Cosmetics. His inspiration was an an old photo of a fresh faced Christy Turlington.
“Marc wanted ‘icy cold cheeks’ and so the blush is drawn down in such a way that’s unusual…unusual, but decadent. Like a Renaissance painting.”
