MAKE MY FASHION WEEK DAY2

Second day in New York with Gemey Maybelline, crazy things! Two shows, two backstage visits, beauty, smiles, unlikely encounters, a ready-to-see-the-city look and an hotel! Let me tell you all of it... 

Soo, day 2, I wake up at dawn to run to the Tommy Hilfiger Show, since I'm lucky I can get to the backstage. During the DVF show, everything was quite calm, make-up artists and hair-dressers were quite easy to approach, the atmosphere was electrical but quite similar to what I had seen in Paris. But the Hilfiger show was another story. Everything went like clockwork, there was at least three people for one model , it was swarming everywhere in some sort of controlled excitement, in a real american way actually. Regarding the show itself, it was surprising, refreshing and unexpected. 

The designer signs a chic but really sporty and colorful silhouette, exuberant leather and neoprene pantsuits, it made me think of California (the Beach Boys soundtrack probably helped a little). I like imagining the Tommy Hilfiger woman going for a 2-hours surf session before going straight to work. I had a crush on the colored silicon strings accessorizes, a bit like leashes' surfboards that'd have been braided (DIY?). And also a huge crush on the mirrors sunglasses, I never dared wearing them but I have to admit that seeing them on the show made me want to try.

I'm wearing a jacket and lovely boots both from Sézane (that you'll soon be able to shop on their site), a Gap jean and a crazy necklace by Sonia Rykiel.

Then in the afternoon I went to the Philipp Lim's backstage where I found myself face to face with Avril Loufrani, the designer who works with him and who proved to be a former of Duperré as well! The world clearly is too small... I loved the colors, the make-up's mauves, the clothes' metallic touches... And the impeccable lines of the silhouettes. I strongly advise you to soak up the collection.

Yesterday I was reading that one of you was frustrated not to see my pictures in full size... Well you can find them on the Gemey Maybelline's TumblrThere are so many pictures I want to share with you! See you tomorrow! Oh and also, I wanted to share the address of my hotel, "The Roger Hotel" on Madison Avenue, so cosy and adorable, with polka dots, stripes, vintage furnitures, everything I like I'm completely in love... And a special mention to their gargantuan breakfast.
