While most designers sent unfortunate models tumbling down the runways in sky-high stilettos, frocks that would flatter only the tallest and slimmest of figures (why must we be subjected to the cruel sartorial affliction that is the balloon pant?), or clothes that focused more on high concept than practicality, it was downright refreshing to see voluminous color, delicious embellishments, and impeccably tailored, dare I say wearable clothes featured at Thuy Diep’s Fall 2009 collection.
Simply put, all the looks in Thuy’s collection are closet perennials; they are the bones of a woman’s wardrobe with the volume turned up. You’ll find the perfect black dress embellished with a touch of lace or a cinched jacket spouting the lightest of feathers. From a hand-painted silk dress awash wash in aubergine, deep green, and luscious blues, to a fitted cocktail dress in a splash of chartreuse, Thuy’s clothes were draped on the body, flattering a woman’s natural line.
And the collection’s clean lines and bold touches inspired the makeup look. Senior Makeup Artist for MAC Cosmetics, Romero Jennings, explained that the Thuy makeup is an everyday face. From a strong, intense eye, to a sculptured, contoured cheek and neutral mouth, the face is healthy and translucent with just a touch of drama.
