CND Fashion Week

Jeremy Scott is the rebel boy made good, and he continues to shake up convention! My earliest experience with the genius of Jeremy started in the early 2000s. Today, he continues to stay true to his soul with humorous references and iconic themes that transcend time and trend. His Fall 2017 show celebrated our best known pop culture idols like Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley…and even Jesus…against a backdrop of eclectic patterns and colors for a riot of expression. These are clothes for the individualist…the LA cool girl.

The perfect accent to the “party on the runway” was a nearly-neon, sun-soaked California red nail in a sleek, slim pointed almond! This nail popped brightly and was even pushed to the limit with gold metallic stars peeking on and off select nails, paying homage to the world-renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame. If the red nail has a comeback, this is the way to make it modern. Layers of brightness in three simple coats: a base of VINYLUX™ Weekly Polish in Banana Clips, followed by a layer of Electric Orange, topped with a layer of Wildfire.

To top off this pop culture fun-fest, this was also our first collaboration with Nail Professional and new Creative Ambassador for CND, Miss Pop!! Once nails were complete, we sat together in the front row, glowing proudly over the sunlit flashes of red that made this collection complete!

Jeremy Scott was born in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1992, he arrived in New York City to study fashion design at the Pratt Institute. Upon graduating in 1996, he relocated to Paris where, a year later, he introduced his signature brand, Jeremy Scott, and debuted the first of many sensational presentations. Over the next five years he launched the modeling career of Devon Aoki; worked with Christian Louboutin and Stephen Jones on accessories for his runway shows; received accolades from Karl Lagerfeld; and won the 1996 and 1997 Venus de la Mode Award for Best New Designer.
