Over the past year, fashion brands have begun to embrace and excel in social media, meanwhile other social media leaders have captured the attention of fashion bloggers. To recognize the top contenders, Yuli Ziv and the Style Coalition hosted the first annual Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards and the ceremony was held at the beginning of New York Fashion Week. When I was asked to be a presenter for “Next Big Thing,” I was honored to be a part of the special evening.

This morning on my way to work, I trudged through the slush and frozen sidewalks to stop by Bryant Park for my first “official” Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week coverage this season. Avon was kind enough to invite me backstage at the Mackage A/W 2010 show to get a sneak peek of the models hair and make-up before they hit the runway.

According to Avon Global Stylist Advisor Tippi Shorter, who works with stars like Rihanna and Beyonce, the inspiration is themed around “the walk of shame” with hair slightly greased and loosely pulled back. She used Read the rest of this entry »
