 A few weeks ago, I posted that cosmetics company Uslu Airlines — founded by makeup artist Feride Uslu — was getting ready to collaborate with worldwide DJs (think Ed Banger and Rolleryboys) on a club-influenced range of nail polish.
Now comes word of Uslu Airlines’ second-round nail color collabo with German-born designer Bernard Willhelm, who is an industry favorite, having worked under iconic designers like Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
The Uslu Airlines x Bernard Willhelm line, based on common airport destinations and hues from Willhelm’s current collection, dropped at OAK in New York recently.

 Magazines and runways used to be the number one way to spot fashion and beauty trends, but in this 2.0 digital and media age, things have shifted.
Blogs (The Sartorialist, Facehunter, Fashion Toast), video clips via web (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and television shows (The O.C., Gossip Girl, 90210) are at the forefront of trendspotting, with bloggers and small screen stars getting to sport product, labels, color palettes and accessories firsthand before they hit the regular consuming masses.

 Ji Baek — the pretty and, er, polished proprietress of uber-chic Rescue Beauty Lounge in New York — went from playing professional violin to managing a restaurant to owning one of the top nail salons known in the industry.
Her client base among the fashion set burgeoned after she opened her first salon in 1999, thanks to signature nail designs in covetable patterns like Burberry plaid. In 2003, Baek decided to leave her clients to their own nail devices when they couldn’t make it into the salon by launching her own polish line throughout North America.
