ZANG TOI was relaxed enough before his runway show- and this- before his racks of clothes arrived (yikes)…that he took the time to introduce media hovering about backstage--- to his beauty team.

| A duo of nail looks-pictured above---half moon combo of black (Art Deco Goddess) and brilliant jade green (Peony Princess). AND---black glitter look using black glitter from a crafts store-that's a bit bigger in size than the typical nail art glitter. |
 |
| Black Glitter-buy at a crafts store…. |
Words and laughs…all around-with the 411 on the collaborative process that goes into a head to toe runway looks for his Fall/Winter 2014 collection:
PARIS OF THE ORIENT.

| black glitter placed right atop 2 coats of black nail polish-lots of texture |
ZOYA NAILS' Creative Director Rebecca Isa and the designer conjured up an amazing custom color of emerald green-based upon textiles secured back in November-prior to this February outing.
 |
| Art Deco Goddess (black), Shanghainese Songstress (red), Peony Princess (green)-trio of polishes in the gift bag-matched color palette of the collection |

| Zang Toi makes a point…. |
 |
| Zoya Nails for Zang Toi-half moon-nail---- |
 |
| Zoya Art Deco Goddess and glitter-bejewled nails look great with the classic Hollywood glam makeup-red burgundy lips, black cat's eye, fluttery eyelashes |
 |
| Zoya Nails- black Art Deco Goddess-two coats then glitter=a color that looks great on all skin tones |
 |
| Modern nail art can be a sophisticated edition to more classic attire... |
Beauty by Rudy's Rudy Miles…told all the makeup was inspired by Shanghai-with a custom burgundy red lipstick a focal point.
 |
| lipstick applied with a brush |
 |
| "Clean" cat's eye liquid- Inglot black eyeliner-drawn right above the eye-flared up slightly at the ends---with illuminating pearly white highlighter under the brow |
 |
| Chanel Foundation-luminous flawless glow |
 |
| Rimmel Scandal Eyes mascara in black |
 |
| groomed brows-with defined arch, liquid black eyeliner-extended out and up |
 |
| Lucas Papaw Moisturizer-we see the backstage -at most of the shows |
 |
| Klorane Floral Gel-gently removes all that makeup models walked in with |
 |
| mascara brush was bent-for better lower lash coverage right at the roots |
 |
| flesh tone eye pencil lined the water line-brightens and opens up the eyes-look bigger too. |
The chignon hair styles created by the
Eiji Salon for René Furterer-was impressively crafted using Fantasy Fashion Hair extensions-curled, twirled and pinned into a very stylized 'do.
Serious hold-via hairspray and hair wax.

| Eiji Yamane-lead hair stylist |
Hair all started straight and smooth-- gathered in a pony tail in the back-low and off center-with pieces left out-to frame the face-with a soft wave (via a curling barrel)…and wrap around the elastic…shaped and pinned. It was complicated.
 |
| clips and hair spray held the look-right before the show |
 |
| Zang Toi changes into a tux…for the show |
 |
| a white tape-…marks where the models stand |
 |
| Zang Toi's faithful ladies filled the audience----giving a standing "O" for day-to evening wear that is exactly what they want to buy. Zang Toi knows his customer |
