On a recent Saturday, Jean Manas and his son, Mateos Haile-Manas, were playing chess on one of the three public tables on the East River promenade, a raised platform on the Upper East Side between the water and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive. There were plenty of distractions — the strong October wind, the traffic [...]
These girls drank their way through the alphabet.
HOLIDAY parties are over, but brilliantly bejeweled and glittering eye makeup has been lingering on, an easy way to alleviate the January blahs. “Embellished and dramatic makeup just feels right at this moment,” said Rachel Goodwin, a celebrity makeup artist for Chanel. “It’s like a science fiction movie, a Stanley Kubrick thing.” Or maybe it’s [...]
TWENTY years ago, when a roomful of perfumers smelled the sweet scent Thierry Mugler Angel for the first time, most of them were crinkling their noses in disgust. “They said: ‘What is this thing? It’s not a perfume. It’s a flavor. It’s awful,’ ” said Pierre Aulas, now the olfactive artistic director of Thierry Mugler, who [...]
EVEN if you never intend to dance onstage at Lincoln Center, like Natalie Portman’s character in “Black Swan,” you probably want to look as if you do (minus, of course, her stab wound). Women have long coveted sinewy arms, high and tight derrières, lean legs and a regal posture. Now, in search of this shape, [...]
THE first time Stacey Gersten had feathers put in her hair — while vacationing in Austin, Tex., at the same kind of street-side stand from which you might buy homemade brownies — she panicked. “I thought they were so beautiful,” said Ms. Gersten, 27, a casting director who lives in New York. “Then I thought, [...]
YOUNG women in Japan have long used makeup to transform themselves into plastic dolls or anime princesses come to life. Brands homegrown there, like Mellish and Dolly Wink, make the spidery fake eyelashes, doe-eyed contact lenses and eyelid tape that help them with this metamorphosis. But the many Western women who have recently started seeking [...]
LIKE hemlines and cocktails, facial features go in and out of fashion, and right now, eyelashes are where it’s at. Five years ago, we may have wanted a plump, pillowy Angelina Jolie mouth, suffering through stinging lip glosses and shots of collagen for it. But these days the focus has shifted to a fat, feathery eye [...]
NEWSPAPER deliverers show up on your doorstep at dawn. At that hour, the woman you pay to spray you with a fake tan usually would not. But recently Tamar Vezirian of Gotham Glow arrived at a client’s apartment in Murray Hill in Manhattan to bronze her before a vacation. “She had to leave at 6 [...]
THREE years ago, Sharmadean Reid, a London nail salon owner, was watching the American Music Awards when she saw Beyoncé Knowles with a manicure that made her nails look as if they’d been plated with gold. “I paused the television,” she said. “I was like, ‘What is on her nails?’ Gimme now.” What was on [...]
It wasn’t until some elementary schools banned Silly Bandz, those colorful plastic bracelets that are the latest fad among the pencil-box set, that Ramona Sidlo, who is 30, wanted them for herself. “I thought, ‘This is nuts that a rubber band is causing so much hype,’” she said. “If kids are going crazy over these, [...]
WHEN Rich Tong, the fashion director at Tumblr, the popular blogging platform, learned that the model Coco Rocha had started using it, he e-mailed her to say hello. She later dropped by Tumblr’s Gramercy Park offices in New York, where Mr. Tong introduced her to Jamie Beck, a fashion photographer with her own Tumblr blog, [...]
