Geeking Out: White Cashmere Details

by Janine on 8 October 2009 · 8 comments

I’m still marvelling at the insane artistry and craftsmanship of the designers who took part in this year’s White Cashmere Collection runway show. The photos on the official website are gorgeous, so I had to share a few — you know, in case you didn’t, er, have time to click over from my initial if I were post.

CarlieWongCashmere

Vancouver designer and former “Project Runway Canada” contestant Carlie Wong makes such pretty frocks (that’s hers, above). If I were skinny….

SunnyFongCashmere

Sunny Fong, last season’s “Project Runway Canada” winner, is a genius with a corset-bodice gown, even in bathroom tissue (above).

DandiMaestreCashmere

And Toronto-based jewelry designer Dandi Maestre makes the most fabulous one-of-a-kind, statement jewelry. Don’t have to be skinny to wear it.

I also love the hair and makeup in these shots — hey Cashmere folks, who did it?

All the images on Cashmere.ca are stunning; go look. Plus, there’s some contest about Paris or someplace, if you’re into that kind of thing. No big deal. Nope. (Don’t even bother with that contest thing. Seriously. Forget I mentioned it.)

Images unabashedly swiped from Cashmere.ca.

lovely designs; just curious…if these were continuous rolls of paper, not the perforated squares, the early question in the original blog re wipes per dress would be a different calculation, n’est-ce pas?

The hair was by Marilisa Sears and the magnificent team at Marc Anthony. The make-up was by MAC Cosmestics.

BTW – If you’re a fan of Cashmere’s BT (bathroom tissue) couture, you can also check it out of Facebook. Just search ‘White Cashmere Collection’!

Thanks Max. Who was the specific makeup artist for the shoot? Or was it a team for the shoot too?

PS – although you asked about hair and make-up, I’d be wrong not to give credit to the brilliant photography of Koby Inc. and our collection curator Peter ‘The Perfectionist’ Papapetrou!

And yes, I knew Peter was the curator :-)
