Fashion Week Essentials: A Portfolio
Sylvana Ward Durrett VOGUE DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EVENTS
1. Chanel bronzer and red lipstick: I never leave home without them. A little bronzer and red-lip refresher do the trick to keep your look lasting.
2. My mother has always had gold bangles, so now they are a collectible for me, and when I am feeling more edgy than preppy, I add an Hermès studded cuff or my Fenton/Fallon spike diamanté necklace.
3. Im very much into a suede pump these days, and this hot-pink pair from Manolo Blahnik amps up any lookand they're comfortable.
4. This metallic rectangle clutch bag from Chanel accompanies me to most events. I love it because it holds all of my essentialsiPhone, notepad, makeup, wallet, and an extra pair of flats!
Sarah Brown VOGUE BEAUTY DIRECTOR
1. I needed something that could fit invitations, stacks of WWDs, a notebook, perhaps an iPad, and, quite possibly, an extra pair of shoes. Alber Elbaz to the rescue! His heavy cotton canvas tote for Lanvin with the chic snakeskin print entranced me with its multiple strap options, useful pockets, and the perfect (slim yet expandable) shape. Jadore!
2. My trusty Hermès notebook, in the prettiest shade of mushroom, and a reliable pen than I love, but dont mind if I lose.
3. My M.A.C. & Milk All-Access backstage pass.
4. Linda Rodins Olio Lusso Lip BalmI have never seen a line of products go from unknown to cult craze faster than this one.
5. A chic tin of mintsI predict these sense-awakening peppermints from C.O. Bigelow will travel up and down many a row at Lincoln Center and Milk Studios.
6. Color Fever Plumper Lipshine in Ample from Lancôme is indispensable because I can put it on anywhere (no mirror required!) and the invisible pink shade is perfection.
7. I am very old-fashioned in my insistence on manicured nails. The indisputable, goes-with-everything shade of the season: Chanels Black Pearl with Orlys Wont Chip topcoat every few days
Harley Viera-Newton DJ
1. My new Céline bag, which I absolutely love.
2. My boyfriend gifted me with this amazing bright orange Smythson diary and pen so I can keep track of everything.
3. I have managed to lose my passport twice so my brother gave me this purple Aspinal of London case to deter me from leaving it on the airport counter!
4. My sunglasses are Illesteva and are definitely key for the early mornings.
5. I always have Hermès leather gloves because not only do they keep my hands warm, they are also the best accessory evertwo birds, one stone.
6. Dior mascara and a lip balm.
7. My BlackBerry is such an essential that I recently gave it a leopard makeover!
