Katie Gallagher's Spring 2013 collection, titled "Everything Forever" ---with thoughts on past/present "...the concept of rebirth and purity..."was a terrific outing of very feminine form fitting silhouettes-in leathers, sheer textiles-draped/ruched--- in neutral tones (ivory, crème, raven and metallic slate)...that had an ethereal, haunting air----

Moody, gothic, with a Game of Thrones vibes...forest/trees/nature...we thought the apparel was sophisticated, modern ---and the hair/make-up/nails---creatively meshed with the overall concept of the ode to "remnants of our past..." that are ever-present.

Topknots---effortless looking (ha ha)---loved!!!

Crafted by Ceasar Ramirez (DopDop salon)-using hair products by Moroccan Oil and hair tools by T3...the hair is casual chic personified...actually three pieces twisted just so... and pined...a hairdo take on the idea of timelessness-with no apparent beginning or end to the soft, shiny "infinite twists."

curl control mousse-light feeling without the tack

lot of touching up...even though the hair looks like something easily done.

any age rocks this look

hoods drape delicately-frame the face

Make-up by MAC's Romero Jennings had
---the models glowing-using sheer pinks, peaches, bronzes...a slightly extended, soft, subtle smoky eye...in a way---using different color palette...looked great on all skin tones too.
