The Show
Zoe turned from noted celeb stylist to respected designer, and it’s easy to see her former charges in ever collection she sends down the runway. Her client is a modern je-setting woman who needs to look good and feel great for an active lifestyle. Zoe nailed this for her SS show, sending a mix of lust-worthy structured leather looks out alongside the flowing chiffon pieces she has long favoured. The silhouettes were flattering, the fabrics were interested and the overall look was the epitome of cool. Pay heed to the use of mint and blush, two shades you’ll be seeing plenty of next season…
The Frow
Coco Rocha, Jessica Hart and Charlotte Ronson all sat front row for a sneak peek at the latest from Zoe, but all eyes were on darling of the fashion world Olivia Palermo. Palermo kept her look simple and chic, opting for a pencil skirt and polka dot blouse, along with the obligatory shades.
The Face
Rachel Zoe took her modern jet set girl muse—not to mention the impressive guests at her show—on a trip to the African plains. Legendary makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury created a safari-chic look that perfectly captured the exotic glamour of the collection. Fit Me Bronzer was brushed across cheekbones and temples, and natural-looking freckles were dotted on with Eye Studio Master Shape Brow Pencil in Soft Brown—“It’s golden skin with a healthy, earthy glow,” says Tilbury. Lips were stained to rosebud perfection with Color Sensational Lipstick in Deepest Cherry, Totally Toffee, and Red Revival. Lead manicurist Sunshine Outing mixed Color Show Nail Lacquer in Porcelain Party with Lust for Buff, a new-for-2014 shade from The Nudes collection, to create a custom pale hue that Rachel Zoe called “Safari.” A long, full, slightly undone braid gave models the finishing outdoor adventure touch.
