GET THE LOOK (Spring 2011 Fashion Week Edition): Marc Jacobs

Alright, Glamazons. This is the one makeup look that made my heart stand still for about 2.5 seconds after first eyeing it. (Last season, the same thing happened after eyeing the beauty look from Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. show. It also didn't help that she was standing right next to me while chatting with her hairstylist Danilo. Talk about some major swoonage!)
But, back to Marc Jacobs. So (as you know from Coutura's previous post) the clothes from the Spring 2011 were all about the 1970's.
Once again, Marc teamed up with Francois Nars, Founder & Creative Director of NARS cosmetics (that's him above working backstage) to create the makeup look and Guido Palau from Redken to create the hair.
Inspired by Anjelica Houston circa 1970, Nars said that he wanted all of the models (60 to be exact) look "iconic with a modern approach."
"Marc had images of what he wanted the makeup to look like - mimicking the colors of the clothing but not matching exactly."
Nars painted around the eyes with this gorgeous glossy shade of deep green, added a tinge of pink to the cheeks (using 'Orgasm' of course) and rounded out the look with a matte lip color.
Here are the products that he used:


-NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (new for Spring 2011; for now, try a light application of the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation)
-NARS Night Porter Eyeshadow
-NARS Noveau Monde Duo Eyeshadow (new for Spring 2011; for now, try the olive side of the Earth Angel Duo Eyeshadow)
-NARS Celebrate Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (new for Spring 2011; for now, the the green side of Rated R Duo Eyeshadow)
-NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
-NARS Volga Pure Matte Lipstick
-NARS African Queen Lip Liner Pencil
-NARS Mambo Eyeliner Pencil

And did I mention that each of the models' eyebrows were bleached?! I did think that was a little bit extreme until I saw the finished look. After that, it made perfect sense!
For the hair, Palau created four different styles for the show: a finger curl; a graduated bob; a thick wave; and one that appeared to be a bunch of frizz with a side part. Each hairstyle style was inspired by the 1930's.
Check out the looks below and let us know what you think of it. Me? I plan on rocking that sexy, smokey hunter green eye like right now! (It's definitely giving me life.) The hair? While I appreciate the look of it, I don't think it's a style that I'd personally wear myself. (Although I do think the second look is pretty cute!)

New York Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs Spring 2011

If I could choose a decade to fashionably transport myself to, it'd be the magical era of the '70s. The Summer of Love was full of flamboyant, free-spirited bliss with wild, voluminous hair, sweeping maxidresses and energetic prints. Marc Jacobs gave this glorious decade a new-age flair with an aesthetic as sophisticated as it was enticing.

His makeover of seventies fashion started with the materials: Style.com cites gauzes, voiles and etamines as his fabrics of choice. The look of the collection follows suit.

Colors are explosive, energetic and vivid with oranges, pinks, purples and browns taking centerstage. While he shows platforms, these just aren't any sandals---Marc Jacobs' platforms are glittery and gold. His accessories run the gamut from exquisite floral hairpieces and elaborate necklaces to streamlined handbags and bright wide-brimmed hats.










The sophistication emerges in tailored khaki or satin jumpsuits, wideleg pants and trench coats that blend the structured silhouettes and cinched waists of the '40s with the free-spirited air of the '70s.





Prints varied from '70's dots to Missoni-esque zig-zag patterns to stripes (with circle-pattern pasties around the bust!). Talk about fun with fashion. Flutter sleeves, wide floral belts and glorious sheer maxidresses also work to give this collection pizazz and personality.














Bringing the '70s into the 21st century, metallic shorts and stripes add a dose of decadent glamour. This is the Summer of Love dressed up and transported to a new level of refinement and class.

Take a look at the collection modeled by Jourdan Dunn, Karlie Kloss, Alessandra Ambrosio, Shena Moulton, Joan Smalls, Anais Mali, Rose Cordero, Jeneil Williams and more.











 







































Kisses,

Coutura

Boyfriend Beauty: Marc Jacob's New Men's Scent, Bang

I wasn't really surprised to see Marc Jacobs oiled up and nude in advertisements for his new men's fragrance, Bang, but my jaw did drop when I saw the packaging for the cologne. A silver, crushed-in looking bottle of amazingness....love! In fact, I may just purchase for myself just because of the package; and knowing Jacobs, I'm sure it smells amazing. (I live for his last fragrance for women, Lola.)





The fragrance will hit Bloomingdale's and Marc Jacobs stores July 30. You'll see Jacobs in all his greasy, muscled glory in ads that will be place in men's lifestyle and fashion publications in September.But, just to give you the inside scoop on everything, Jacobs decided to pose nude in advertisements for the first time to make the point that the new fragrance is "a personal passion," according to Women's Wear Daily. The original idea came from his business partner, Robert Duffy.


"Robert and I work closely with Coty on these projects, and he said, 'Marc, you look so great now - you should be the model for men's fragrance.' My immediate reaction was, I don't know," he told WWD. "But then I came to see that it made sense. Men's fragrance, unlike women's in a certain way, is very personal. It's a layer on top of skin - for women, it can be like a changing a makeup color, but not for men."


Sighting that the fragrance ad "isn't about some chiseled face on a beach," Jacobs said that it's for a contemporary guy "who, even if he isn't young, has a younger spirit."


Why the name Bang?
"The name came to me first," he said. "We had been approached by Coty to do another men's scent - we did one many years ago - and I was in the gym, and the name Bang came to me. As a word, it has so many connotations, including a sexual connotation. And I loved the immediacy and the sound of the word. For me, fragrance is always a multilayered process - Bang was the catalyst for how this fragrance came to be. You're drawn to try it, to experience it."


Just to give you an idea of how it will smell fellas, WWD reports that it has top notes of black, pink and white peppercorns; a heart of primal masculine woods, and a drydown of hypnotic elemi resinoid, aromatic benzoin, vetiver, white moss and patchouli. Prices are $55 for 1.7 oz and $75 for 3.4 oz. There will also be an aftershave balm ($40); hair and body wash ($25), and a deodorant stick ($22).


Side note: My friend David Lopez and I once had an impromptu photo shoot and created a men's fragrance ad for Marc Jacobs. Isn't it hot?! lol





What do you think, guys? Does this sound like a fragrance you'll be purchasing? Ladies, will you be buying this for your men?
