Fashion's Night Out PSA Featuring Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Lara Stone, Liya Kebede and More!











Fashion's Night Out 2010 PSA from Fashion's Night Out on Vimeo.





It's that time of year again!



To promote Fashion's biggest party, Anna Wintour gathered the top models in the business to run rampant through New York City streets and sidewalks for the event's PSA. Lovelovelove the shot of them in brilliant billowy skirts and Fashion's Night Out official tees.



Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, Liya Kebede, Miranda Kerr, Lara Stone, Doutzen Kroes, Lily Donaldson and more were filmed at NY's hot spots like the Bronx Zoo and Lincoln Center by Peter Lindberg for the PSA---AND they played David Bowie's "Fashion" in the background, pretty cool right?



The gorgeous PSA will play in Times Square from September 3rd to the 10th, and the rest of the world (aka non-New Yorkers) can catch it on Network TV.



Check it out below: what do you think? I do wish my darling Sessilee Lopez and Arlenis Sosa were tapped for the festivities, but overall, it's a great video.



Kisses,



Coutura

(Last) Week In Review: Pat McGrath, Idris Elba, The Dream and Victoria's Secret Models

Hey Glamazons! Whew, June has definitely been a whirl of social events for me..and don't think that I'm complaining...I live for it! Last week proved to be a fun one! Here's the Cliff's Notes version of everything:
The fabulous Pat McGrath (makeup artist extraordinaire and one of the main creative brains behind P&G Cosmetics) recently launched a collection of cosmetic bags for LeSport Sac and CoverGirl threw her a cute cocktail party downtown at the LeSport Sac store. They even had a fun photo booth..which I had no problem cramming into it with friends (Sara Conley from styleitonline.com and makeup artist Lesley Forrester) to take the super goofy shots of us below. Aren't they fun?!
Pat McGrath and I strike a pose for the cameras...she's so awesome!
Our fun photo booth pics in black and white (and color, of course!)
The LeSportSac makeup bags Pat McGrath designed. Each features a fun hangtag of makeup application tips from the makeup guru herself!
Moet & Chandon launched its exclusive Rose Lounge in New York on a rooftop at the Ink 48 Hotel. Hosted by Idris Elba and The Dream, the lounge featured it's newest libation, the Moet Rose minis (so cute!) as well as a gaggle of well dressed NY women, handsome men and celebs. Oh, and of course Idris was the hottest of the all....especially when he was spinning those beats while DJing...ooooweeee!
I snapped this pic of Idris DJing at the party...he was really into it and was spinning some great tunes! Love.
Here's Idris on the red carpet...why he looks confused, I don't know..perhaps he was wishing that he could be upstairs DJing some more instead?! lol
The Rose Lounge is scheduled to appear in Atlanta, Chicago, D.C., Baltimore, Cleveland and Detroit next so be sure to check a social calendar near you for dates.
Here's what the new drink looks like....
And there's my champagne flute of the drink (it's so good!) along with a real life shot of the minis.
Victoria's Secret Beauty turned a whole floor of the The St. Regis Hotel into a beautiful oasis of pink peonies, shimmering underwear and gorgeous supermodels when announcing plans to launch the new fragrance Bombshell in September 2010.
Pretty pink peonies adorned every table..they smelled delish!
I snapped this pic of some VS Models (from r to l: Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Candace Swanepoel) talking about what makes every woman a bombshell.
I've always wanted my own pair of angel wings! Don't I make a pretty angel?! lol

Victoria's Secret Offers Flowers, Fragrance and Mini Makeovers

A gaggle of Victoria's Secret Angels were on hand at the Victoria's Secret store on Broadway here in New York Saturday to launch The Heavenly Flowers scent. Alessandra Ambrosio, Candace Swanepoel and Miranda Kerr signed autographs, took pictures with fans and cut flowers to hand out to moms in honor of Mother's Day. In addition, shoppers were given the opportunity to get mini makeovers.
The Heavenly Flowers scent is a floral-fruity green fragrance with top notes of Juicy Mandarin Watermelon Sorbet, Sparkling Pear and Guava; middle notes of Blooming Gardenia, Lily of the Valley, Apricot Flower, Peony and Violet Leaf; and a dry-down of Creamy Musk and Blonde Wood. Super juicy and extra pretty. The Eau De Parfum ($49) also comes in a Sheer Fragrance Mist ($22) Softening Body Lotion ($20) and a Solid Fragrance Bracelet ($20). The limited edition fragrance will be available for purchase through June 2010.
I was actually given the opportunity to have a little Q&A sesh with the Angels. Here's what they had to say:
Ferocia: What are some of the beauty products that you can't live without during the summer?
Alessandra: I love Victoria's Secret Daily Glow Gradual Tan Moisturizer SPF 15. It gives my skin a pretty glow and I stay protected from the sun.
Candice: I really love wavy hair. Victoria's Secret So Sexy Wave Enhancer is perfect to spritz on at the beach.
Miranda: I love bright red lipstick right now, like VS Makeup Matte Cream Lipstick in Icon.
Ferocia: What's one tip that you would offer to the everyday woman to do to make her feel fabulous?
Alessandra: Smoky eyes make you feel both sexy and fabulous!
Candice: Layering the perfect scent with lotion and spritzing the fragrance on top.
Miranda: I love when my hair is pulled back from my face into a simple ponytail.
Beauty editors and bloggers alike were also given makeovers (in a fabulous VIP section) by two of the artists from the VS Makeup Supermodel Team with products from the Fall 2010 collection, including the VS Makeup Fall Face Kit Collection. The Fall Face Kits are designed for three skin tones: light, medium and deep. Each kit includes 3 eye shadows, an eye liner, mascara and lip gloss along with detailed instructions imprinted on the inside on how you can achieve the look. Priced at $28, it will be available for purchase August-October 2010 and is so new that I don't even have the product in final packaging. However, I will definitely test it out and will let you know what I think. Just from its looks, it seems like a pretty good deal!
Here's my friend April Franzino (beauty assistant at Good Housekeeping) about to get her makeup done at the event. Love her!
