New York Fashion Week is the most important fashion industry event of the season, allowing buyers, the press and celebrities to review designers’ collections in advance. Fall/Winter 2012 was held February 9-16, and, along with fellow Juut stylists Larissa Wong, Christy Dylo and D’Angelo Alston, I was fortunate enough to be there again for the backstage action. This season we styled Badgley Mischka, Betsey Johnson, the ViVA Girls and G.K. Reid for the Daphne Guinness film screening, Eighteenth, Christian Siriano, and Fabiola Arias.
We started bright and early at Lincoln Center for perhaps the most quintessentially glamorous show at fashion week. For Fall, Badgley Mischka combined muted golds, vintage metallics and architectural silhouettes to create goth glamour inspired by Fritz Lang’s 1927 film, Metropolis.

Working backstage at fashion week is a dream come true for a hair stylist. I am fortunate enough to have worked my tenth season and the excitement hasn’t faded. For Spring/Summer 2012, like every other season, I packed my suitcase to the brim with curling irons, crimpers and a surplus of pins and headed off to New York City. This season I styled hair for Betsey Johnson, Academy of Art University, Kahri, Christian Siriano, and Jen Kao.
All of the shows were fantastic, but the one that best captured the excitement of New York Fashion Week was Betsey Johnson’s show. More than just a fashion show, Betsey throws a decked-out party replete with DJ, champagne, and pink hair extension party favors. Hip-hop and R&B artist Nicki Minaj inspired her Spring collection which celebrated voluptuous women.
Traditionally, Betsey chooses a theme for her shows and this season it was “T and A.” This inspired renowned editorial hair stylist, Peter Gray, to look bac ...

This has been true on the coasts for some time and is finally working its way into the Midwest. Truly creative individuals can reference trend and work it into their already established personal style.
