LETTERS FROM THE DWF Magazine | 6
I
will never forget stumbling upon the DWF table at the involvement fair at the beginning of my sophomore year. I started off that year pretty shy, confused on what I wanted to major in and just generally still trying to figure my life out. As a result. I figured I would give it a shot and apply for a menswear stylist position. I had never had any previous experience with fashion, but immediately went home and put together a Pinterest board of menswear looks that I liked and sent it in to the editor-in-chief at the time. After not hearing back for a bit of time, I figured my lack of experience led to me not receiving a spot on the team. But just when I had given up all hope, I received an email saying that I had gotten the position of menswear stylist. I was completely shocked and excited and soaked up the opportunity to be a part of such a creative team of people. Getting to work with Noelle and Daniel for the entirety of last year truly was a life changing experience and both of them have impacted my life in ways they do not even know. When I landed in the role of Co-Editor-in-Chief of this magazine, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, in part due to the fact that the two of them made it look so easy. Now I know that this would have been impossible without our amazing team. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this magazine and helped it all come together. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for DWF. Until next time-

ithin my first few days at Florida State University I anxiously went to the involvement fair searching for a fashion publication to join. I knew exactly what I wanted and it was to be immersed in fashion. I still remember talking to the Editor in Chief at the time, Noelle, about all of the opportunities that DWF Magazine could provide me and leaving with butterflies in my stomach. Fast forward to my fourth semester with DWF magazine and I have had the honor of working as a stylist, Copy Editor, Womenswear Director, and now Co-Editor-in-Chief. When I was asked about stepping into this position I knew that it would be a challenge, but I was not doubtful because I am surrounded by such talented and passionate creatives. The hard work of our team is evident within each photoshoot. We strived for diversity and I strongly believe that we have gone above and beyond with it this semester. From space themed to western, the DWF team can make any concept come to life. I want to thank each of you for providing your visions and for believing in me throughout the semester. I am thrilled to see what we create together in the future. XOXO-

This is the time to look at the top trends that emerged from the F/W 19 catwalks. Absorbing so many new collections at one time can be overwhelming, which is why we broke down each Fashion Week and its top trends for you! With an eclectic mix of runway collections, there was a little something for everyone this season. So far, this season is full of electric color palettes, exciting accessories, and extravagant ensembles.

Designers took feathers to new heights this season, as Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Oscar de la Renta displayed the festive adornment in ways that felt new and exciting. Colorful glamorous, and over-the-top feathered pieces took the runways by storm. Whether you choose subtle colors like Michael Kors or you opt to be eclectic like Marc Jacobs, there is no doubt you should incorporate some feathery pieces into your look next season.
For many Italian fashion houses, this season was

all about red and black. In MSGM’s show, women wore red leather pants with black stripes on the side accompanied by black high-neck blouses. Marni opted for a combination of different patchwork fabrics mixed with chains and scarves, while at Prada women wore long black leather boots with red and gray dresses.

In Pairs although, designers took one step forward by showing not just a jacket here or a skirt there, leather pieces paired with more leather pieces, such as Altuzarra’s burgundy suit. Other brands - like Drome - opted for a matching suit in bright colors like Acne’s orange; while the classic all-black was showed in Balmain.

Karl Lagerfeld “I don’t believe in lifetime achievement. For me it’s all about the next collection.” -Karl Lagerfeld, 2002.
By: Natalie Diciaula & Delaney Williams
DWF Magazine | 10
K
arl Lagerfeld was one of the most influential creative minds of our generation. He was the mastermind and creative director of Chanel since 1983, as well as assisting Silvia Fendi in her ready-to-wear collections. His personal style never went unnoticed as well. With ice-white hair, detachable collars, and fingerless gloves, his forbidding image was a staple. Karl knew he was destined for a fashionable lifestyle from the age of four when he asked for a clothing valet so that he could have multiple outfits prepared for him to change into throughout the day. At the age of 22, Mr. Lagerfeld entered into a coat design competition held by the International Wool Secretariat. After winning the competition, his career trajectory took off. He immediately befriended Yves Saint Laurent and began an apprenticeship with Balmain. Shortly after, he was designing freelance for high fashion luxury brands like Chloe, Krizia, Charles Jourdan, and Valentino. Lagerfeld started catching international fame once he joined forces with Chanel in 1982.
“When I took over Chanel, everybody said to me, ‘Don’t touch it. It’s dead…’ and I said to myself, ‘I love that people think that. Now let’s see.’” –Karl Lagerfeld He revived the brand and made it a household name once again. The recognizable “CC” logo was designed by Karl himself. He was a triple threat- photographer, filmmaker, and designer. Karl truly had a creative eye which transformed Chanel into the powerhouse that it is today. He was not interested in pleasing the big names in fashion. Anna Wintour, Vogue Editor-in-Chief, walked out of Karl’s first show that he directed with Fendi after he utilized adult film stars and exotic dancers in the show. His repertoire of edgy style and controversial choices are what set him apart from the high-fashion norm. Backlash only fueled his creative fire. Karl went on to design for Chanel for 35 years and created no less than one collection a month. He will be remembered for his work ethic, meticulous eye, and influence on the world’s largest fashion houses.

Up and Coming Models
Spring Summer Fashion Season 2019
With runways in recent seasons seeing a dramatic influx of unique faces and diverse personality, here are a collection of awe-inspiring young women sure to be seen on catwalks, editorial covers, and campaigns for Spring/Summer 2019. Anok Yai (Right)
Age: 21 years old Agency: Next Model Management (New York, Paris, Milan, London) The South Sudanese model was discovered in October 2017 after professional photographer Steve Hall asked to take a photo of her at Howard University’s homecoming. The photo, accumulating thousands of likes on Instagram along with widespread attention from a variety of agencies, landed Anok Yai with newfound internet fame and a modeling contract from Next Model Management. Primarily noted for her work with Prada, she is the second black model to have opened a Prada fashion show after Naomi Campbell in 1997..
Sara Grace Wallerstedt (Right)
Age: 20 Agency: Storm Management (London), Ford Models (New York, Paris, Los Angeles) British model Fran Summers exemplifies a shift in demand towards models that not only possess a show stopping front, but also approach fashion with personality and humor. With a fresh look and impressive list of catwalk and campaign appearances under her belt, Summers first got her start after a makeup artist at a MAC store in Westfield suggested she should consider modeling. After getting in contact with Storm Management and being offered a modeling contract on the spot, some of her highlights include walking her debut at J.W. Anderson’s London Fashion Week and most recently, walking at Saint Laurent during Fashion Week this season.
Age: 19 Agency: The Society Management (New York), Elite Model Management (Paris, Milan, London, Barcelona, Copenhagen), Wallflower Management (Dallas) With an impressive record of feats achieved in such a short period of time, runways will surely be seeing more of Sara Grace Wallerstedt this upcoming Spring/ Summer. The Bedford native has walked for Tom Ford, Valentino, Versace, Fendi, Burberry, Chanel, Tory Burch, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Anna Suit- among others. Coupled with magazine covers shot for Vogue Italia, Korea, and China, Vogue Paris reports that she was one of the most booked for the Fall/Winter 2018.

Up and Coming Designers Each year brings new styles of apparel and accessories for us to fall in love with. More importantly, however, each
year brings us new designers to look out for. These creative geniuses are the people who are essentially responsible for styling everyone through the choices that they create for us to purchase. Designers are both leaders and innovators who offer us the inspiration from which we are able to build a wardrobe of our own. Through their work, designers have the power to curate a culture and give us the opportunity to pick and choose what products align best with our personal taste and self-image. Even if you do not shop directly with these particular designers yet, their influence in fashion will be seen in their respective cities and likely far beyond that in 2019. The top 3 up and coming designers to look out for in 2019 include:
No 1. Kelsey Randall
No 2. Kerby Jean-Raymond
No 3. Rebecca Vazquez
Kelsey Randall is a fashion designer from Atlanta, Georgia who is based in Brooklyn, New York. Each and every one of Randall’s designs are custom made and cut to order. Her collection ranges from bridal dresses, 70’s inspired sets, crystal bralettes and so much more. She is said to be most inspired by the work of Alexander McQueen, and loves the create pieces that have picturesque drama. Expect to see the designs of Kelsey Randall on many Coachella-goers this upcoming summer.
Kerby Jean Raymond is the creator of the brand Pyer Moss. Jean-Raymond is a key designer for two reasons. Firstly, his collections are outstanding and he is constantly reinventing his brand. Secondly, he uses his platform in the fashion world as a vessel through which to make social commentary as well as celebrate black culture. In essence, he utilizes fashion as a way of activism. The Pyer Moss brand is expected to grow exponentially this year, and he has recently already launched a line in collaboration with the brand Reebok. Any designer who uses their designs to start conversations about social issues deserves to be celebrated in an industry that has shied away from these tough issues in the past.
The future of fashion lies in the ability for people to be as creative as they please with the pieces that they purchase. In a time when fast fashion brands strive to push thousands of similar products into the market, customization has become a gift that we are rarely offered in retail business. Nowhere is the importance of customization in fashion better understood than at the Maheli Heli studio in Miami, Florida. The designer and originator behind the Maheli Heli brand is Rebecca Vazquez and she is definitely a designer who you want to follow in 2019. The product portfolio for her brand includes exceptionally designed swimsuits as well as bodysuits. The unique nature of this brand lies in the fact that each piece purchased, is customizable and made by the Maheli Heli team right here in the United States. Expect to see a lot more of the Maheli Heli brand this season.

Spring Beauty Trends Around the World With the accessibility that we have to internet and travel, beauty trends spread in the click of a button. Online influencers from across the globe have audiences of millions of viewers who spread the trends from one place to another by uploading videos or posting pictures on their social media. Nonetheless, beauty trends have to originate somewhere. From no-makeup makeup looks to bold smoky eyes, trends range each season, giving everyone an opportunity to find one they’re sure to love. Here are the top 2019 Spring beauty trends from international influencers:
Italy Glossy Skin
Italian women are known to embrace their natural features and not put on a lot of makeup on a daily basis. The glossy and natural look is a classic staple in Italy, and it is now expanding worldwide. Brands like Glossier embrace the epitome of what Italian women strive for when it comes to their makeup. However, makeup isn’t the only thing that allows these women to achieve this look. Making sure that they have good skincare and a good base for their makeup is a must in order for their appearance to look the way it does.
SPAIN Bold Lips
Although this is a trend that comes and goes with the seasons, it is always popular in Spain. The red lip is a Spanish classic, making any woman feel put together and beautiful with just a swipe across the lips. Bold lips are returning this season around the world, both in matte and glossy ways.
JAPAN Doll Like Blush
There are many ways that Japanese women like to alter their appearance in order to make themselves look more like dolls. We often see these women wearing extreme fake lashes or applying lipstick in a manner that changes the shape of their lips. However, a new trend that they are using to emphasize the doll look is applying a bright pink blush under the eyes.

Some have been calling it the “grandma” mask on social media.

Sunday Riley U.F.O Oil
The Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil is used to treat and prevent acne and blackheads and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It is a quick-absorbing dry oil that penetrates deep into the pores. This medicated oil is formulated with 1.5 % salicylic acid, which cleans clogged pores and controls sebum secretion or the oil causing acne.
Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30- Dr. Jart+
This color correcting cream has been all the rage this spring season. Not only does it contain SPF to protect from the sun’s rays, it also changes color. The cream starts off a thick beige and once the product is rubbed into the skin, it covers blemishes and redness instantly. This treatment is perfect for those no-makeup makeup days. Packed with vitamins like magnesium, calcium, potassium and many others, these vitamins work together to revitalize the skin’s moisture levels.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

In the age of endless scrolling, Instagram images arguably have a bigger impact on how women dress and shop than anything else. Unlike what you’re seeing on the runway, street style has the power to ensemble outfits with as many trends as people desire. From biker shorts to tie-dye, from feathers to neon, here are the biggest street styles trends for Spring 2019.
StreeT Trends By: Valeria Rivadeneira
Biker shorts
Cycling shorts started trending last spring in the streets, but as designers from Fendi to Chanel started to showcase them this year; this trend isn’t going away anytime soon. Reaching a whole new level this season, they can be worn for both casual and formal occasions.
Tie-Dye
DWF Magazine | 32
In 2019, tie-dye has taken a more adventurous turn, as designers like Stella McCartney and R13 turn this trend into jackets and suits. Colorful tie-dye t-shirts and sweatshirts are now an essential component in achieving the ultimate California inspired hippie look uniform.
Feathers
Whenever we feel like upgrading our outfits, feather-accented pieces are a given way to make that happen. From vests to skirts, this trend has coasted through the last few seasons, so it is expected to still being seen on the streets.
Neon
Neon is one of the bolder trends for 2019—but considering Prada has been creating highlighter accessories and the Kardashians are fully behind glow-in-the-dark outfits, we can be more comfortable to try it ourselves.

Virgil Abloh
V
irgil Abloh is arguably one of the biggest names in fashion right now, but this was not always the case. Abloh’s rise to fame in the industry has not followed a traditional path. Abloh was born in 1980 to Ghanian immigrants in Rockford, Illinois where he grew up. While living there, he became immersed in the skate culture. This is where much of his influence stems from to this day. His mother taught him to sew at a young age which is where his understanding and appreciation for fashion comes from.
DWF Magazine | 34
Once he graduated high school, he attended university where he ultimately received a master’s degree in architecture. This is something that Abloh refers back to a lot in interviews where he emphasizes that he is not a typical designer because he was never classically trained in that sense. However, his avid league of followers and fans think that this is what sets him apart from the pack.
I
n 2009, Abloh met Kanye West while they both interned for Fendi in Rome. From there, Abloh went on to become the creative director of Donda which is Kanye West’s creative agency and has been a frequent collaborator with West for over a decade now. In 2012, Abloh created his own streetwear label called Pyrex Vision where he purchased deadstock Ralph Lauren flannels and screen printed them with the word “Pyrex” plus the number 23 as a way to pay tribute to his childhood hero, Michael Jordan. After a year Abloh made the decision to close Pyrex Vision’s doors and instead started the iconic, multi-platform creative label called Off-White. Fast forward four years to 2017, Abloh and OffWhite landed a collaboration with sneaker giant Nike where he created The Ten which was his way of redesigning ten of Nike’s most iconic sneaker silhouettes. He added Off-White’s signature quotations, and zip tied tags to all of the sneakers and now both of those symbols are universally recognized as a part of the brand. When this collaboration was announced, OffWhite and Virgil’s fame reached an all-time high. Fans lined up outside of sneakers stores for hours and hunched over computer screens all in an effort to secure their pair of the original ten.
Once Nike and Off-White realized the success of their partnership, they extended it and have been releasing shoes and extremely limited quantities ever since.In early 2018, just when you would think Abloh’s career could not get any better, it was announced that he would be taking over for Kim Jones as the artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. This was a history making announcement as Abloh was the first black man to take over this position in the history of the company. Along with this, it proved that the ever-popular streetwear trend that Abloh helped pioneer was here to stay and that it had truly infiltrated the high fashion scene. Overall, Virgil Abloh is without a doubt oneof the most influential names in the fashion industry right now. He has a hand in so many different things whether it be with Nike creating shoes, his upcoming Ikea furniture collaboration, or DJing some of the biggest music festivals in the world, Abloh is truly the first to shape culture in such a prolific way. He built himself a huge empire and plays a monumental role in pop culture today. Abloh has truly changed the game and keeps shocking us all with the shear amount and the quality of work he is constantly putting out. He is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the creative industry and will continue to be one for a long time. By: Adi Cohen

Androgynous Fashion One of the beautiful things about fashion is the fact that it is simply wearable art and therefore has no rules associated with it. Throughout fashion history, there was traditionally a women’s wear collection and men’s wear collection and the two were kept a safe distance apart. In the 50’s we saw artists like Little Richard wear makeup in public, and in the 70’s David Bowie came along and made androgynous fashion more visible in society. Modern day fashion has embraced the idea that traditional art does not have gender constraints that it must follow, and neither should fashion. In recent years, designers are cultivating non-binary collections that could be worn by both men and women. The first designers who began to introduce gender-neutral collections included Prada and Alexander McQueen among others. This movement has become far more popular and celebrated. In fact, in February of 2018, a unisex or non-binary category was added as a new category for New York Fashion Week. Designers like Charles Jeffrey, Balenciaga, and Tom Ford were among the designers who created completely gender-neutral collections for the new category in 2018. Aside from the designers who are doing their part in kick-starting this generational shift regarding the non-binary nature of gender, celebrities like Jaden Smith and Ezra Miller are also important figures who are breaking gender norms through fashion. Jaden Smith actually launched a gender-neutral clothing line he named MSFTS. In addition to that, he has participated in fashion campaigns for brands like Louis Vuitton wearing gender-neutral designs. Ezra Miller is playing an equally important role in breaking down gendered boundaries in fashion. He has been known to often rock androgynous inspired clothing on the red carpet. By: Jaylene Martinez

Fashion X Technology
This past decade it seems that technological innovations have made their way into every single industry worldwide. The fashion industry is no exception. Perhaps the most unique innovation that the industry has begun to embrace is 3D printing. Designers began to experiment with creating runway designs made of 3D printed materials in 2010. Architect Francis Bitonti collaborated with fashion designer Michael Schmidt to make the first 3D printed gown. This gown was made up of seventeen sections of plastic powder that was fused together by selective laser sintering and then decorated with black Swarovski crystals. The affordances associated with the use of 3D printing in the fashion industry are ample. It is no secret that the impact that the fashion industry has on the environment is far from a positive one. 3D printing is arguably one of the most sustainable technological innovations that the fashion industry has seen in the past decade. Current practices in the fashion industry have created a substantial amount of waste from water to textiles, and much more. Fast fashion has created a culture where trends change just as quickly as they started. Thankfully, 3D printing creates little to no waste. In fact, the materials used to print can actually be melted down, recycled, and used again for a future project.
Aside from 3D printed garments, wearable technology has become an increasingly important sector in the fashion industry in the last 5 years. Apple dominates the global markets in terms of commercially sold technological innovations. Apple has collaborated with different brands throughout the past decade to integrate technology and fashion. For example, Hermes and Apple collaborated to create the first Apple Watch Hermes in 2015. Most recently however, Louis Vuitton collaborated with Apple to create the LV Air pods which were priced at $995. By: Jaylene Martinez

Naomi Campbell For NARS
By: Grace Eugenides
As a seasoned supermodel of over 30 years, it’s hard to imagine a feat Naomi Campbell has yet to achieve. The timeless beauty has graced magazine covers, runways, and campaigns since the late 70’s, reaffirming her place amongst the “original five” supermodels who reigned rolling into the 80’s and 90’s. Although Campbell has embarked on other ventures, such as her film and television appearances and charity work, her lasting impact within the world of fashion has drawn international press for decades. Now, she’s moving on to dominate the beauty industry as the new face of NARS’ Spring 2019 campaign- the first solo beauty contract of her career. Breaking barriers for inclusivity since the birth of her career, it’s almost shocking to realize that the international supermodel is still experiencing milestones in her profession. Though Campbell has been featured in NARS campaigns during 1996 and 2004, she is entering this project as a frontwoman for diversity and radiance. When discussing Campbell as a choice for the bold campaign, brand founder François NARS stated, “Naomi is a living icon and brings such strong personality to the camera. She and I are like family. I have known her since the very beginning of her career. From the start, I have admired her, her beauty, and her style.” It seems as though even from the early beginnings of her career, Campbell has sustained a long lasting adoration for the brand’s DWF Magazine 54interview with Us Weekly, founder as well. In| an
Campbell revealed, “When I first started it was hard to find colors that truly matched my skin tone. I remember [François] made me my own foundation.” The news was announced on December 19th, 2018 via both the brand and Campbell’s social media. “Very excited to be the new face of NARS Cosmetics,” Campbell captioned the Instagram post of her stunning campaign image. She adds, “shot by my dear friend François Nars,” beneath the portrait. The brands’ newly unveiled “Radiance Repowered” campaign will focus on an extension of the line’s shade range, a new Super Radiance Booster, and Skin Deep Eye Palette. As for her favorite beauty products from the NARS line, she reveals that Mountain Soft Velvet Pressed Powder, Sophia Eyeshadow, Taj Mahal Blush, and Climax Mascara are amongst some of her top picks. According to Nars himself, Campbell’s presence in the project was crucial. Gone are the days where brands can skim over inclusivity and diversity in beauty. In discussing the importance of having a woman of color as the face of his campaigns, Nars has previously expressed, “My choice to use models of color such as Naomi Campbell was a deliberate one. I feel that makeup is universal and should apply to everybody. I didn’t want to create a makeup line for one ethnic group. It had to be multi-ethnic. To me, beauty is beauty. It doesn’t matter what color the skin is.”
Alton Mason For Chanel
By: Carmen Renee Morley
Chanel is one of the most recognized and lauded fashion houses in the world. The brand has been around for over 100 years and in that time there have been many firsts introduced by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, whom passed away earlier this year. There have been very few male models to walk in a Chanel show, but this season a 21-year-old model named Alton Mason made fashion history by becoming the first black male model to ever walk for Chanel. Mason is a young Jamaican-Ghanaian model represented by IMG in Paris, Milan, Australia, Los Angeles, and London. He was discovered by a model scout via his Instagram while he was going to school for dance and acting at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles. In 2016, he made his debut as a model at New York Fashion Week in Kanye West’s Yeezy Season Three at Madison Square Garden. Soon after his debut brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton took notice and began booking him for runways and campaigns.
Shortly before Lagerfeld’s death, he befriended Mason and personally shot him for his namesake brand. While shooting that campaign Lagerfeld casually informed him that he would like him to walk in Chanel’s pre-fashion week show Métiers d’Art. Once Lagerfeld’s team confirmed the news Mason was overcome with joy he said once he found out “the world stopped.” The show was a presentation of Egyptian influences gilded in gold and luxury. Mason wore one of the two menswear looks showcased. Singer Pharrell Williams wore the other. Mason modeled look 42 which was an angora turtleneck clad with lapis lazuli embellishment striking gold pants and bold metallic eyeliner with boots to match. Mason has already accomplished so much in his short career we can only imagine what he’ll do next and are sure that he is definitely one of the male models to watch.

DRAG IN FASHION
By: Grace Eugenides
DWF Magazine | 64
D
rag is arguably the most expressive form of fashion in today’s day and age. The reason that fashion within drag stands elevated among the rest in terms of expression is because it is less about consumption or business and more about freedom and the art. Drag culture is used as a way to display the personalities that are interconnected with the garments that drag queens wear. The drag scene has only recently become a part of popular mainstream culture thanks to shows like Ru Paul’s Drag Race. Previously, this was solely an underground movement that was rejected by societal norms for decades. During drags humble beginnings, the original queens would look to high fashion designers for inspiration.
In the last few years, the roles have been reversed and now designers, including Marc Jacobs, are looking to drag queens as inspiration for their fashion campaigns. One of the contestants from Ru Paul’s Drag Race named Milk actually became the face of a Marc Jacobs campaign after the designer saw his unique style on the show. Male and female fashion is no longer on opposite ends of the spectrum. People are increasingly open to the idea that fashion is art and should have no rules or limitations. Individuals should feel free to express themselves through fashion in order to dress how they feel, dress how they want, and be who they are. We have the drag movement to thank for laying the foundation for a more inclusive future in fashion.

A TRIBUTE TO KEVIN AUCOIN By Grace Eugenides
DWF Magazine | 74
I
t is difficult to attempt to imagine what the world of beauty would be without the legacy of late makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin. Fueled by a desire to create and make those around him feel beautiful, Aucoin’s approach to makeup centered around the philosophy that makeup should be used as a tool to make every woman appear as beautiful as they were on the inside. Beyond his role as an visionary, he was a teacher, activist, and friend to many. Exhibited through his work, Aucoin was an experimental risk taker; additionally credited for bridging the worlds of fashion and entertainment together during the 1990’s supermodel era. In reflecting upon Kevyn Aucoin’s legacy, it is especially valuable to recognize the way in which his upbringing attributed to the artist he grew up to be. His struggles with bullying and discrimination that he faced as an adopted, gay youth in Lafayette, Louisiana forced Aucoin to stray away from his original path of attending a public high school and opt for an education and career in makeup; which he had passionately loved and practiced since childhood. It was this same passion fortowards his art that brought Aucoin to New York to jumpstart his career. After being discovered by Vogue magazine and American fashion photographer Steven Meisel, he slowly but surely became one of the most sought out makeup artists in the world for fashion magazine cover work and celebrity clientele. Aucoin was a chameleon in his art form, setting the bar high for those who sought a professional role in beauty. In creating a natural aesthetic, Aucoin focused less on masking features and emphasized the use of techniques which played up individual attributes. These looks focused on creating a fresh complexion, contouring precisely to add depth to the face, and penciling in the iconic skinny eyebrow shape sought out by many models and celebrities during the 1990’s. Inversely, Aucoin possessed a unique, versatile skill set that offered him the ability to also create highly glamorized looks. Often he would begin this process by creating an entirely blank canvas and utilizing a heavy application of bold colors and textures to different areas of the face for a dramatic, transformative outcome.
Although emotional trauma experienced during his youth followed him throughout his life, his understanding and compassion towards those he felt were underrepresented in the world made him a popular choice to clientele of all kinds. In an interview with world-renowned supermodel Naomi Campbell for the documentary film Kevyn Aucoin: The Beauty and Beast in Me, she reflects on Aucoin with an extremely high positive regard. Particularly, she noted his ability to work with deeper skin tones during a time where diversity had not reached the forefront of the fashion world as an incredible talent. In 1984, Aucoin launched The New Nakeds, a makeup collection designed to suit women of different skin tones and undertones, in collaboration with Revlon. Kevyn Aucoin’s efforts set a precedent for diversity in makeup through a variety of new finishes, textures, and tones. Today, it is rare that many individuals approach the art of beauty with the same thought and care that Kevyn Aucoin was able to during his lifetime. His efforts were pivotal in transforming the global beauty scene and and setting cosmetic trends for brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, and Laura Mercier to follow for decades. One could even say that he played a large part in shaping the newfound role of modern makeup artists we often seen today. At the turn of the new milleniummillennium and the height of his career, Aucoin was a summation of many roles: a fearless artist, an LGBTQ+ activist, and an experimental risk taker. The impact of his talents and efforts cultivated an entirely new approach to makeup and altered the world’s assumptions towards beauty forever.
“I work in an industry with some of the meanest people who have ever walked the face of the earth, who live and die for the surface. But the way I see it, I have a responsibility to do the most I can do, the way I know how. Since I know how to apply makeup, that’s what I do and use it as a platform.” — Kevyn Aucoin

Mens Runway Trends By: Jaylene Martinez
The beauty of following fashion week trends from NYC, Milan, London, & Paris is that it gives people a glimpse into what will come next into fashion. In past seasons, men’s fashion has been influenced by street fashion. However, this season, although street style remains a key trend, fresh colors and patterns have made their mark during fashion weeks worldwide. Here are a few exciting trends in menswear fashion that were seen on the runways for spring/summer 2019 collections:
LFW
London Fashion Week
Charles Jeffrey Loverboy
Plaid Patchwork
Plaid was noticeably present on the runways of London. In fact, one of the most anticipated collections for the spring/summer 2019 season was the Charles Jeffrey Loverboy collection. This collection included pieces that fused neutral solid fabrics with colorful plaid.

Marni
Longline Leather
The presence of longline leather jackets has not been huge on London runways since the early 90’s. The resurgence of this style during fashion week in London is tied to the vintage craze that is popular for the fashion of this decade. Bringing back the best of the 90’s included redesigning the longline leather jacket into a slimmer more tailored look but still keeping that 90’s feel in the fabrication.
NYFW New York Fashion Week
Victor Li
Monochrome
Monochromatic outfits were on the scene in NYFW especially present in Victor Li’s show. His spring/summer 2019 collection included many soft tones that flowed through the entirety of each outfit. The color scheme and fabrication in Li’s collection added a sense of sophistication to the overall look.
MFW
Milan Fashion Week
PFW Paris Fashion Week
Balmain
Prada
Neon
Neon is now. Brands such as Miuccia Prada and Versace embraced the brightest and boldest colors during Milan Fashion Week. The menswear designs featuring neon colors were some of the most memorable from the Milan runways. These colors added a retro aspect to the menswear designs.
Denim Daze
The many faces of denim were a hit during Paris fashion week. Denim was present in many different colors, washes, and cuts on the runway. This fabric is infamous for being a staple in many people’s closets but these new designs offered a fresh spin on an already loved fabric.

GET THE LOOK We are used to seeing models on the runway, looking perfect in jaw-dropping outfits, flawless makeup, and fascinating hair. However, models also set the trends in their day-to-day outings. By looking at what these models wear out and about on the street, we can get more realistic inspiration for our everyday looks.
Rosie Huntington-Whitely In a classic look with a twist, Whitely paired Paige leather leggings and a plain black blouse with a longline beige flannel. You can achieve a similar look with some faux leather leggings from Express and a flannel from Urban Outfitters. By: Caroline Dejtiar

Emily Ratajkoski Stepping out in a more spring-like look, this model was seen in a simple crop top and jeans. By throwing on a crème cardigan, you can be ready for some chilly days this season while still maintaining your look. Urban Outfitters has a very similar top as Ratajkowski is wearing, and similar jeans can be found at PacSsun. A classic pair of white sneakers finishes off the look.
KENDALL JENNER
BELLA HADID
GIGI HADID
Jenner was seeing in New York wearing Balenciaga multi-pocket cargo jeans and a pale-yellow long sleeve t-shirt. Similar jeans can be found at Urban Outfitters. She paired this outfit with Adidas sneakers, which are easily accessible.
Bella Hadid looks chic from head to toe in this oversized Fendi blazer. By adding a belt around her waist, she gives the outfit shape. The graphic tee under the blazer allows for a more caususal take on this look. You can find similar blazers on ASOS.
Hadid looks effortless and casual in this graphic crewneck sweatshirt and jeans. The statement shoes make the outfit truly pop, showing us that we only need one item to pull an outfit together. You can find similar bold shoes on ASOS.
