New York Fashion Week: The Lake and Stars

I reviewed The Lake & Stars' Spring/Summer 2012 presentation on the DailyCandy Tumblr, but I had to share a few extra photos with Style of a 20 Something readers.

The collection was striking. Inspired by the culture and color palette of Mexico City, design duo Maayan Zilberman and Nikki Dekker created bold, yet feminine lingerie, swimwear, and for the first time, lounge wear. I loved the red and black bikini on the left--it was by far my favorite piece in the collection!

The styling for this show kept with the beachy inspiration. Each girl sported a center part, with hair slicked back into an intricate looped braid. Makeup was kept simple with dewy cheeks and a natural color palette.

New York Fashion Week: Erickson Beamon at Milk Studios

How gorgeous was the makeup at Erickson Beamon earlier this week? Designers Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon transformed Milk Studios into a garden of earthly delights. With Eve's return to Eden as inspiration for their Spring 2012 collection, Erickson Beamon displayed jewelry alongside models-turned-fairies, dancers, a cellist, an opera singer, and a whimsical landscape of flora, fauna, and jewels. Their current line is available in select boutiques and on Net-a-Porter.com.

One model gave us a sassy look at Katie Gallagher's Milk Studios presentation. I loved her pouty red lip.
