Lincoln Center, NYC Venexiana's red carpet stunners require elaborate coiffeurs …and Philip Pelusi using Tela Beauty Organics -wonderfully aromatic products-achieved the braided hair equivalent of bejeweled  crowns atop the models. Polished tresses, transformed into Rapunzel like long braids…. everyone was filming something... Tela Beauty Organics-Hair Gloss, Composer and Encore-styling creme-for shine and hold-$32/each Philip Pelusi P2 Define hairspray …did just that Pinned around the head-and two circular buns pinned in the back…rolled inwards… Rhinestone jewel pins attached…finished the look... The makeup table belongs to ALCONE …the insider's place for all those beauty cult brands…had their team applying the makeup for the show. Dark burgundy lips- long fluttery eyelashes-(false), grey smoky lids above and burgundy shadow underneath-with highlighter under and above softened, barely there eyebrows---delivering class...

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week/Lincoln Center Exquisitely ornate, Kati Stern's Venexiana S/S 2014 runway collection featured "haute couture" hair by Philip Pelusi-using his USDA Certified Organic Tela Beauty Organics .  The center part and interwoven rope waves...a look dubbed "Venetian Carnival" used the models own hair smoothed out...with pre-braided pieces attached in a V-shape, then it all was gathered at the nape of the neck-and twisted/braided/pinned for a polished look. The models (and their locks) probably were a bit relieved with the use of Tela products...including Dri Shampoo to give texture for the center parted hair (from hairline to crown), and Encore Organic Dri Styling Creme andSplit End for smoothness/hold.  Composer Organic Styling-gave the 'do moisturizing shine. Very Pretty! Philip Pelusi (r)  INFO:   www.telanyc.com https://www.facebook.com/ tel...

FYI... Two New York Fashion Fall 2013 shows we missed...but wished we didn't. We thought both labels used some of the most luxurious fabrics with many artful details...as expected---and are more couture-like than RTW. ThreeAsFour fittingly had their runway at an art gallery, Greene/NAFTALI on West 26th Street...with a RTW collection inspired by the zodiac signs...including a recently discovered 13th sign that should- in turn, inspire an entire new industry of astrologists/chartists/conspiracy theorists. PLUS: Make-up by one of our fav lines---Temptu Kati Stern's VENEXIANA ....at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week/Lincoln Center ...was a Red Carpet extravaganza including gleaming evening looks---that would make any wearer feel like she's about to win an Oscar. Bonus points to Mehron for the dramatic smokey eyes make-up... and Philip Pelusi for TELA  for the soft side, rolled twists...with an 'S' curve to its shape. ...

LINCOLN CENTER NYC-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012 words/images Judith Ecochard Venexiana's couture-like IRREVERENT RENAISSANCE collection was dramatic...we think of the ornate evening attire for a weekend party in some far-flung European locale...with a requisite stop in such romantic cities as Venice. Hairstyles were crafted by Philip Pelusi (Ceo and founder), Jeffrey Reitz (Creative Director) and their team--- using hard working, Tela Beauty Organics hair styling products-a flawless combo of science nd nature, full of healthy ingredients (!!!) ---and IMO-the looks could not have been more perfect....with a deep center part, crimped hair,  Empire topknots and braids circling the models' heads...mimicked the cascading lights of  glittery chandeliers. Multiple products used-to create the multi-textured layers---included USDA Certified Organic TELA BEAUTY ORGANICS Smooth Operator Blow Out Serum with Quinoa Protein and Philip Pelusi RefresHair...
