Getting Nailed Like Lady Gaga
After a rousing party to celebrate its official unveiling, Gaga’s Workshop is officially open for business at Barneys. There are limited-edition biker jackets, bangles and cuffs designed by the likes of Pamela Love and Erickson Beamon, and haute chocolate in the shape of the pop star’s legendary Alexander McQueen lobster claw heels, but the main [...]
Backstage At McQueen, “A Little Fantasy” Goes A Long Way
If the lace masks at Sarah Burton’s show for Alexander McQueen looked familiar, it’s because anyone who made it to the wildly successful exhibition celebrating the house’s late namesake designer at the Met this summer has seen something like them before. “The idea came from the masks we created for the McQueen exhibit,” confirmed Guido [...]
Missoni Gets Minxed
We told you they were coming, and here—fresh off the catwalk in Milan—are a few of the custom nail overlays Minx designed for Missoni yesterday. “The base of all nails was Minxlusion and many of the Missoni patterns have a Minxlusion-esque thread running through them, so it matched the theme perfectly,” Minx co-creator Dawn Lynch-Goodwin [...]
Minx X Missoni And McQueen, A Preview
After making a huge splash in New York during Fashion’s Night Out with the introduction of its highly successful collaboration with Marc by Marc Jacobs, Minx—like the rest of the fashion pack—has moved its creative team to Europe for a select list of shows. We had the pleasure of catching up with founders Janice Jordan [...]

We still have a few hours left until we clock out (and check out), so for now, we’re occupying ourselves with thoughts of copious amounts of barbecue, lots and lots of sun, and an equal amount [...]
Phillip Lim x Minx?
With lipstick making a cameo at Band of Outsiders’ Pitti presentation and Ulta just announcing that it is devoting an entirely separate space in its stores to men’s grooming this summer, guy-centric primping is gaining ground. That was nowhere more apparent than at Phillip Lim’s menswear show in Paris this weekend. There, tucked inside skater-punk, [...]
B’s Summer Daze
In anticipation of her forthcoming fourth solo album, aptly titled 4, Beyoncé Knowles is making the editorial rounds. B graces the pages of the July issues of W, L’Uomo Vogue, Essence, and Cleo magazines, just to name a few, but her turn as cover star for the new Dazed & Confused just may be our [...]
Eye Candy, Backstage At Gareth Pugh
Seeing as how Alex Box has already proved that her face-painting skills will not be confined to two dimensions, the makeup artist’s avant-garde experiment backstage at Gareth Pugh seemed perfectly par for the course. “Religious iconography” is how Box described the inspiration for the gold and blue laser-cut eye patches that she made for the [...]
PFW Backstage Beauty Alert: Minx Madness
Minx has been grabbing headlines left and right in recent weeks. In addition to securing a U.S. patent on its unique method for applying non-liquid graphic films to nails (imitators, beware) and introducing a new collaboration series with super-manicurists like Lisa Logan (Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, and Queen Latifah) and Marian Newman (Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood, [...]
