A girl is the picture of modernity when she's wearing neutrals in white, black, gray and brown with smattering of brights in angled and swirled geometric patterns of orange, royal blue, and hot pink fucshia. Such was the collection Frida Giannini showed for Gucci Spring 2010 RTW in Milan.

Makeup artist Pat McGrath was the creative artist behind this look of beauty, "It's much lighter for Gucci. Lightness in makeup is a trend for spring." She used a light brown powder on the eyes and a narrow brown liquid liner to define the lash line. Brown mascara was added to the lashes and a nude pink cream Cover Girl blush swept on the cheekbones.


Luigi Murenu achieved pin-straight hair, with a flat iron and comb, and tied into low ponytails with a deep side part. "It's very precise and a little bit futuristic," said Murenu. He smoothed John Frieda Frizz Ease serum on to the top and sides of the hairstyle and then spritzed John Frieda on the tail.

Details of the collection? Well, how about a smidge of S & M, futuristic athletic wear, a touch of chic femininity and laced up goddess. Remaked one reviewer, "There's a lot of stuff going on." Cutouts, lace-ups, harnesses, gadgets, mesh inserts -yes, all part of the show, yet wielded in such a way as to blend in a cohesive collection depicting a daring, modern woman (yet with girlish ponytail in tow). Of course, no Gucci collection would be complete without signature wide-rimmed shades.

Sephora: A Little Gucci Flora for You



Flora by Gucci is a subtle, sophisticated, floral fragrance inspired by princesses from the past, present, and future.

Its seductive layers mirror the playful details and bright colors that channel the heart of a fashion empire.

Spring 2009 RTW - Gucci Sings the Blues



There are many reasons to love makeup artist Pat McGrath. Her friendly calm, cool, collected backstage-chaos demeanor keeps her among editors’ favorites. Her unparalleled ability to come up with new design concepts—which typically include bold experiments with color—are legend. And her creative artistry on a facial canvas is simply unmatched. Many don't realize this, but McGrath lends her expertise to CoverGirl cosmetics every season as creative director for P&G. She personally formulates new palettes for what is perhaps the best catwalk-to-sidewalk collaboration available at your local drugstore.


Just take a look at what she's created for the Spring 2009 RTW Gucci show. She's reinterpreted the smoky eye using turquoise and blue shadows for a look that’s bright and springlike keeping the sexiness of basic black (but heavy) coupled right along with it. Luckily, you won’t have to wait until March to take your own azure test run: The pigments she crafted for CoverGirl’s new Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows are currently available for your trial-and-error pleasure. Yea, Pat!

Resurrecting GUCCI Spring 2006RTW for Christmas

Perusing my photos from past Spring collections, I came across one of my favorites. So, just in time for Christmas, I'm bringing back the forest green dress and hot lipped look of Gucci 2006. Pat McGrath created a vivid pink-red lip on a fresh looking face. Using warm, matte foundation on face and body, plenty of highlighting on cheeks, brow bone and forehead, black mascara and hot-pinkish-red lipstick; the look popped when combined with the flowing fabrics and deep colors of the Gucci collection - just beautiful.
