Calvin Klein Spring 2013
Francisco Costa closed New York Fashion Week with a minimal but
graphic Calvin Klein collection that covered some of the American season's
biggest trends. Namely: Black-and-white and graphics. Seamed dresses with
exaggerated peekaboo bra details followed one after another.

Calvin Klein Spring 2013
In a quite fantastic optic moment, the designer layered black moire over white shift. It was in a wave pattern that, when the model walked, looked like it was undulating itself.

Given the Gaucho-inspired feel of the runway collection, Redken hairstylist Guido went for a refined, polished chignon, which was worn on its own or topped with a hat. Guido created a clean center part, gathered hair into a low, tight ponytail and misted with a shine spray before twisting the tail into a knot. A shot of hairspray helped tame any flyaways for a super sleek the models even wore off the runway.

Sometimes what could be a “mistake” can be the defining element of a look. Take the intentionally creased hair seen here—Fekkai hairstylist Paul Hanlon wanted the hair to look like models had slept in black collars, leaving a natural dent. To achieve the effect, he spritzed hair with water, tied on a scarf around the neck, tucking the hair in, and then diffused strands. After the scarf was removed, he rubbed on a finishing cream, picking out pieces to create a messy, lived-in feel.

Zoom! The silver racing stripe nails seen here provided a fresh, sporty look we loved. Lancôme manicurist Ana-Maria applied a coral red to the base of the nail and finished with a sleek stripe of chrome.

Instant trick to make your eyes glisten: do like Shiseido makeup artist Dick Page and rim your eyes with a glossy lip treatment—yes, really! Just dab it around the perimeter (careful not in the eye) and finish with mascara for a lush glow.

The punchy, printed headscarves provided all the pop of color needed near the face, Shiseido makeup artist Dick Page told us backstage. To avoid a "color fight" he kept the skin simple—no blush or bright lip—and instead smudged dark cream liner around the eyes for a soft, smoky eye that hit the right tone.

A smoky eye can come in many colors but the rose gold shades used backstage at Vera Wang had us transfixed. Clé de Peau makeup artist Lucia Pieroni achieved the pink-y gilded effect by sweeping a gold shadow over the lid, a brown in the crease and a bronze (damped with water to intensify the shade) under the eye. To accentuate the effect, Fekkai hairstylist Paul Hanlon pulled hair back from the face, teasing it and literally wrapping it, like a turban, around the head, pinning in place.
