It's the FINAL day of fashion week in NYC! And what a way to end the week...final show is '3as4', a design trio known for their directional, artistic and cutting edge concepts.
The look for the show was futuristic and conceptual and inspired by the 60s short film "Cut Piece" featuring Yoko Ono. The designers took leggings and silk tunic tops to a new level with beautiful prints in silk pieces designed in collaboration with Yoko Ono based on her dot drawings. The same pattern was mirrored in the make-up around the models' eyes. And the Nails where absolutely gorgeous! We designed a pale ocean blue color using one coat of sheered-out 'Anchor Blue' and 'Speedey', 2 coats of 'Studio White' and 'Super Matte' top coat for matching fingers and toes. This beautiful yet haunting blue was some of the only color in a palette of stark black and white.
The result was simply a brilliant show! Got a standing ovation from a super hip, artistic audience including Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon. Everyone agreed it was a spectacular way to end fashion week in New York.
The exhilarated and exhausted CND team toasted the end of another successful fashion week and the dynamic runway debut of the Colour & Effects collection that was used at all 20 shows.
Now a team in London is gearing up for 9 shows starting this weekend......
Thanks for joining us for a big and very successful NAIL week!
It's been fun!
We'll let you know how Europe goes!
