MBFW: Gucci Westman and Revlon beauty for rag & bone Fall 2013

Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, backstage at rag & bone

WHAT: Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, juxtaposed the masculine designs of rag & bone’s Fall ’13 collection with a soft and feminine makeup look.

“I wanted to create a look that was super girly and contrasted with the masculine feel of the collection,” says Westman. “The focus of this look is definitely the eyeliner. I added a bit of a modern twist to a classic 60’s look by using a gel liner across the top of the lid. I kept the rest of the look simple and paired it with natural and luminous skin. I love how the whole look is a bit retro, but still fresh.”

Ted Gibson’s team showed Pink Chalk tipped hair at Carmen Marc Valvo

While the model’s legs carried beautiful shoes. All part of the announcement that H.H. Brown is  launching Carmen Marc Valvo footwear for Fall 2013.

Footwear styles from the soon-to-launch collection were featured today on the designer’s runway during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Valvo’s Fall 2013 collection, made up of outstanding eveningwear and perfectly tailored pieces, gave a nod to a magnificent punk, baroque theme.  This story was conveyed in the footwear through the dark yet elegant color palette and discerning silhouettes. Plush suede and rich leather in black and burgundy highlight the looks and encompass the season’s inspiration.

 

Three standout footwear styles were featured on the runway. The styles include: BETH, a feminine bootie accented with sleek mesh and a demure bow; ELSIE, a timeless mary-jane updated with a modern silhouette and double strap, pointed closure; and MARA, an of-the-moment pointed top pump, with a distinguishing double wrap ankle strap.

Carmen Marc Valvo Calzature will be launching for Fall 2013. This footwear collection will be the finishing piece to the World of Carmen, as the design house currently produces couture, ready-to-wear, eyewear, swimwear and fur. Carmen Marc Valvo Calzature is manufactured in Italy and is crafted in the finest Italian leathers. Extraordinary craftsmanship, impeccable fit and distinguishing details are factors that are synonymous with Carmen Marc Valvo’s designs, and these attributes are the true elements of his footwear collection.
