Jay Godfrey showed his spring/summer 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on September 12, 2015 at Chelsea Piers. The presentation was simple, modern, minimal, and crisp; a new vibe for the spring 2016 season.
Jay Godfrey showed an all-white collection which featured structured lines, and a modern vibe. On stage with the models, Jay Godfrey placed a pyramid in the center which was reminiscent of playground monkey bars in the 1970s and 1980s; yet in pyramid form instead of dome form. It gave the collection a slightly new wave vibe when combined with the modern lines on the collection.
Jay Godfrey’s spring 2016 collection is an interesting progression from his past few collections. For spring 2105, Jay Godfrey favored texture, patterns, and accessories. When he showed his fall 2015 collection, the lines became more simple, yet there were bright colors and patterns. For spring 2016, Jay Godfrey kept the simple lines, and moved into a more modern place with an all-white color palette.

On September 27, 2015 Dolce & Gabbana sent their spring/summer 2016 collection down the Milan Fashion Week runway. The collection was stunning; a tribute to Italy. In order to complete the Italian Love theme of the collection, a make-up look was designed for the runway which complimented the collection as a whole. The beauty look highlighted luminous skin with a flawless, dewy finish, featured soft and smoky feline eyes, and plump lips showcasing the full range of new Dolce & Gabbana “Dolce Matte Rosa” Lipsticks. Nails were done in a feminine, romantic shade which completes the look
Dolce & Gabbana has been kind enough to provide us with the tips for achieving this fabulous runway beauty look at home! The below text was written and provided by Dolce & Gabbana.
Dolce&Gabbana Essential UV Creamwas first applied to hydrate the skin, followed by the Sheer Radiance Primer to build the perfect canvas for make-up application. A flawless complexion was achieved using the Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation blended outward, from the center of the face out towards the ears. The Perfect Luminous Concealer was applied to the shadowed areas of the face and dabbed under the eyes, hiding blemishes and creating an impeccable base with an even skin tone. The cheeks displayed a warm, romantic flush by being delicately contoured with the new Blush in Bacio 50,which wasswept onto the apples of the cheeks and up towards the ears. The face was highlighted using The Illuminator in Eva 3 along the cheekbones and on the bridge of the nose, while the skin was set with a light dusting of The Pressed Powderacross the nose and forehead.
The romantic, soft felineeye look was achieved with a base of Perfect Mono Eyeshadow in Nude 30blended across the eyelids. The two complementary shades of brown from The Eyeshadow Quad in Smoky 105were mixed together and applied with a blending blush alongthe crease of the eyelids to create depth. For added definition, The Illuminator in Luna 4 was applied to the inner corner of the eyes and below the eyebrows. The upper lash lines were amplified by applying The Eyeliner in Chocolate 10in an upward flick, and a line of the Glam Liner in Earthy Brown 2was drawn along the upper lash line, to add an intense yet feminine feline finish. On the curled top lashes, layers of theVolumized Mascara in Black 1were applied, paying special attention to the outer corners for definition and a lengthening finish.
The brows were sculpted with The Brow Liner in Soft Brown 1 and Mocha 3, using the wide part of the pencil nib with light, feathery strokes to fill the color outwards to the end of the brow, achievinga natural youthfulness to the face.
For beautiful, rosy plump lips, from the new collection of Dolce Matte Lipstick, a mixture of shades were combined to create perfectly tailored spring looks using DolceNudo 124, Miss Dolce 134, Dolce Dolcezza 212, Dolce Rosa 222, Dolce Sogno 223, Dolce Mamma 229, Dolce Excelsa 512 andDolceBacio641. To give lips definition and to keep the lipstick in place, the lips were lined with The Liplinerin Mamma 17, Rosa 16, Dolcezza 15, Bacio 18 and Soft 6. Nails painted with The Nail Lacquer in Bella 210evoke elegance and finish this soft and feminine Spring/Summer 2016 look.
There you have it! The beauty look straight from Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2016 runway.

Pamella Roland sent her spring/summer 2016 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on September 11, 2015 at the Whitney Museum. It was the perfect, modern backdrop for her collection which fused modernistic touches with 1970s and 1960s influences.
I loved the ultra cool backdrop which featured a geometric, colorful light design at the close of the runway show. It captured the vibe of the collection and wrapped up the show; perfectly showcasing the collection. It was pure brilliance.
Pamella Roland’s inspiration seemed to be in line with other New York designers for spring 2016. The collection featured short, a-line hems which are reminiscent of the 1960s. The chokers and geometric lines were also in line with the overall look of the season. I am in love!
