Buy It Now: Uslu Airlines x Bernard Willhelm

Uslu Airlines Bernard Willhelm nail polish collaboration 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.

Klum As You Are

Heidi Klum makeup collection with Victoria's Secret Celebrity designers are a bit old hat these days, whether it be a celeb launching their own line (like Fetish by Eve) or a celeb teaming up with an already-established label (Rachel Bilson with DNKY).

A road a little less traveled is the celebrity makeup line — the only ones I can think of off the bat are Mary Kate and Ashley for Claire’s Accessories and Stuff by Hilary Duff for mass retailers (think Wal-Mart and JC Penney).

Leave it to model, supermom, television host, skivvies schiller and branding machine Heidi Klum to team up with long-time employer Victoria’s Secret for “The Heidi Klum Collection” for the brand’s Very Sexy Makeup line, the new collection which she debuted at the Grove in Los Angeles last week.

OPI Heads For The Hills

OPI-nail-polish-Beverly-Hills-90210 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.

YSL Beaute Signs Vincent Cassel

The first time I laid eyes on Vincent Cassel was during a movie session with my little sister, who picked up the French film “Irreversible”, which he headlined with real-life wife Monica Bellucci.

Cassel is handsome — in an odd, uneven, Gallic way — and I figure it’s his piercing blue eyes that got him signed as YSL Beaute’s newest fragrance face.

Aaron de Mey To Lancome

Lancome has a brand new man at the top: Aaron de Mey.

The New Zealand-born de May comes from a hefty celebrity (Pamela Anderson), magazine (Mario Sorrenti, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Patrick Demarchelier, Bruce Weber) and film (David Lynch, Sofia Coppola) background, an admirable portfolio to have before moving into his new Lancome Make-Up Artistic Director position at one of the world’s most established beauty brands.
