…well we certainly do. So we asked our friend Katherine Limon of My Signature Look Consulting to tell us about her adventures at the Carolina Herrera Show and here’s what she had to say…Earlier this week I lost my fashion virginity to Bryant Park. The dream of entering a tent reserved for the fashion privileged – bestowed either by their editorial cred, buyer status, trade association, or fame – was realized with anticipated breath. As a member of Fashion Group International, I was able to obtain a coveted “Standing” ticket for the Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer 2010 show. If time and space allowed, a weeks worth of shows may have led to an internal combustion. In hindsight, I don’t think my constitution could have handled such fashion overdose – I was content with the one show and who better to see than one of the most respected designers in the industry.While waiting to enter, I was aroused by the sighting of fashion’s elite. To my left, I viewed Anna Wintour breeze pass security with such force that her hair flew in the wind only to quickly land gently in its place. A few minutes later, celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe tried to pull a Wintour but was recalled to the check-in table. She may have forgotten her ticket but she kept true to her fashion sense donning a light moss jumpsuit that draped beautifully over her lithe frame. Fellow celebrity stylist Robert Verdi marched in with his signature sunglasses planted firmly on his forehead. Socialites and other industry insiders careened by until finally the “seatless” could make their entrance. Read the rest of this entry »

From the Runway

So, months ago James rounded up his fabby team and headed off to an undisclosed roof deck to create an amazing spread for Washington Life Magazine. Hot hair from Dyan Smith in our Mclean location, sexy makeup from Fran (Warrenton Location) and creative mastery from James Cornwell. Take a look….

April’s edition of Washington Life features the great team of Tim Coburn photography and James Cornwell of PR at Partners creating Spring’s hot looks with an ecco-friendly theme. James would like to Thank Fran at our Warrenton location for her fantastic assistance with hair and makeup.

PR at Partners was glad to provide hair and makeup for the first Northern Virginia Fashion week. Here are some looks from the runway.

Leah shared her ideas on Oscar hair using her great insight from fashion week:

“At Fashion Week, there was a marriage of sleekness and texture within the hair: shine and control at the base or the part and then natural smoothness through the ends, whether it was a ponytail or a curl set,” says Leah Le, a leading stylist with PR at Partners Salon in the District, who based her observations on trends seen at last week’s Fashion Week in New York.

“The looks were all very feminine but powerful, like today’s women,” says Miss Le, who also was chosen as a member of the select Sebastian Professional hair team for the spring and fall New York Fashion Week shows as well as the most recent event in New York.

“I saw lots of braids, too, so look for those at this Sunday’s Oscars as well,” Miss Le predicted.

Last week Leah headed back up to NYC for Fashion week creating Fashion Focused Hair for:

Charlotte Ronson
Catherine Holstein
Diego Binetti
And Rad Hourani

The following was all written by Leah Le:

The inspiration for Diego Binetti’s show was described as 40’s intelligent woman…think Marlene Detrick with a modern twist. Here are some final looks.
To get the look set the hair with marcel curls…backcombed and pinned for shorter length…

At Rad Hourani sleek…squeaky CLEAN ponytails…placed low below the occipital bone!!!

love the skinnies….omg!!…hot!!!

Braiding away at Catherine Holstein
The inspiration is Gothic glamor
The look is a vampire vagabond temptress

To create this look we set random braids within the crown and larger cornrow braids within the perimeter…set dry..and pulled apart to create texture and movement. Products consist of thickefy foam to set and craft clay after wards for erratic movement.

At Charlotte Ronson: sleek,shiny,flat is key at the base and natural texture at the tail….
Easier said then done!!!!…flatiron roots thru midshaft and leaving ends from where the tail begins for natural texture…no lumps and no humps allowed!!!!
lots of brushing with a flat boar bristle brush!

And the look on the Runway

Neiman Marcus, Chevy Chase, offers tons of great events for their guests’ and we were delighted to be asked to provide hair styling for their recent event with Instyle Magazine. Highlights of the presentation, great tips on creating a Spring wardrobe and good buys to make this season that will last.
This spring and into summer give any outfit zest with layers of necklaces! Nothing says spring like a sexy rain coat/trench, this version of the classic with animal print is a keeper! Look at the stacks of necklaces - Seriously I started looking at my necklaces in a new light.
The Final look just beautiful evening gowns And for the Oh La La twist all the outfits where commentated on by Hal Rubenstein (Instyle Magazine) and Ken Downing (senior vice president for Neiman’s) with a large dose of DC reality provided by Ali Wentworth.
