Fashion Week Review and Importance of Nail Design

Fashion Week is over and it's always fun to do a recap of what's hot this season. I've found a few interesting articles that show off the highlights of the shows and have included links below. Can't wait to see some of these outfits in the stores!

But what about the unsung heros of Fashion Week? There' so much more to it than just the clothes. There is a long laundry list of contributors that help to pull the whole show together; Hair stylists, nails stylists, set designers... The list goes on and on.

I recently ran across an interesting
article in the New York Times on one such contributor to the September 2008 Fashion Week. It certainly sums up the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Seems that nails on the runway play just an all important part of setting the trend for the next season as do the clothes. Nails are complemented to match the handbags, the shoes, the dress, you name it! One show this year even added a "vampire touch" by matching their nail and lip color to a blood sample.

As we begin to see the newest clothing designs appear in the stores I can't wait to see what people begin requesting in our salons. Nails are now an accessory to an outfit and just as important as a necklace or a belt.

So enjoy the new styles, right down to your nails. We are up to trying just about anything in nail design and can't wait to see what ideas you bring!
