#Videocrux - Fashion Week end with gold, fluorescents and femininity in New York.
Fashion Week end with gold, fluorescents and femininity in New York. Besides a few designers who skewed their collections to reflect the current mood, "Fashion Week," which ended in New York on Friday, went out with gold, fluorescents and femininity to chase away the gloomy atmosphere cast by the economic crisis. Crisis? What crisis? To see the lame, fluorescent and tinsel dresses at New York’s fashion week, it’s hard to remember that times are tough. Most collections struggled not to be dragged down by pessimism. Thomas Dunkin, Hair stylist, “I think People will still spend time and money making themselves feel better, making themselves look really good. You always find when there is a bit of a downturn in the economy people always get a little bit more glamorous. Glamour is parading here in thigh high boots and ultra high heels. Shoulders are decked in leather or silver fox. And makeup is boasting its own new trend, a wide use of the airbrush, a softer makeup that looks more natural and is better suited to the ever more demanding standards of television. Dani Fonseca, Make-up artist, “When it goes on the skin it looks like skin so when you have the camera this close to your face you don't see make up, you see skin. And even man can wear it and you really can't tell that they are wearing make up. But all the best efforts can’t entirely mask the reality. There are fewer runways, fewer clothes on display, and certain designers are forced to forgo presenting their collections. New York’s fashion week is also a victim of the weak economy.
