Miley Cyrus was quite the surprise guest at the Marc Jacobs F/W20 show in New York this week—mostly because she wasn’t sitting on the front row. Instead, Cyrus strutted the runway amongst the models. While her runway cameo came as a surprise, the star has been a muse for the label for years, from being a 2014 campaign star to collaborating on a capsule collection with the New York designer just last year. The highly anticipated show, featuring the fashion label’s latest collection, was fitting for Cyrus’s own style. She donned a black bra top, wide-legged pants, a zebra-print jacket and black leather gloves. Cyrus described her runway ensemble on Instagram as a “genius design and execution.” And according to acclaimed runway supermodel Naomi Campbell, Cyrus herself had success in execution. Campbell commented “🔥🔥🔥” on Cyrus’s Instagram post. Hailey Bieber also gave her social media applause to Cyrus’s Fashion Week debut, commenting: “YUP. STOMP QUEEN.💕”

Canadian Mental Health Association launches apparel line to raise funds and awareness for mental health

This week the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) dropped an apparel line, Mental Fatigues, which illustrates the human tendency to hide mental health issues. The CMHA teamed up with creative agency TAXI Toronto and Toronto-based artist Ka-Young Lee for the project. The result: camouflage motifs covering three different T-shirts, and if you look closely, you’ll see human figures hidden amongst the print. “The Mental Fatigues apparel line illustrates an important insight about our mental health: when we camouflage our struggles, we hide from the help we need,” says Margaret Eaton, national CEO of CMHA. “CMHA welcomes the support provided through this imaginative campaign.” The collection consists of three different colourways, each symbolic of a key issue in Canadian mental health: anxiety disorder, substance use disorder and workplace mental health. And while all proceeds from Mental Fatigues will go toward the CMHA to help fund advocacy, resources and programs for mental health assistance, sparking conversation is a large part of what this line aims to do. “It’s more important than ever to be talking about mental health,” says Alexis Bronstorph, co-executive creative Director at TAXI Toronto. “We challenged ourselves to find a creative way to encourage that open dialogue.” Shop the collection at mentalfatigues.ca.

6 Standout Runway Beauty Moments From New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week has wrapped for another season but there’s still plenty we can’t stop thinking about. Whether you need some ideas for your next Friday night (or any night) beauty look, or just want a little preview of what you’ll likely see recreated all over your Instagram feed in the coming months, here’s six of our favourite runway beauty looks we spied backstage at the shows.

Decked Out Digits

PHOTOGRAPHY VIA KISS NAILS

Stones, crystals, gold beads — oh my! Lead nail artist for Kiss Nails Gina Edwards served up two edgy nail looks to compliment the bohemian rocker chic collection at the Alice + Olivia presentation. Using both squoval and coffin-shaped black-matte stick-on nails from ImPress, Edwards applied nail stickers from Kiss’ Jewel Accents Luxury Nail Art pack, and further proceeded to apply custom stones and gems with a clear Kiss brush-on glue. With a total of fifty models in the show, and each set of nails taking roughly an hour and forty minutes to create, it was a true labour of love, said Edwards.

Braids Of Glory

“Ulla Jonhson loves braiding. She loves any kind of intricate design, so of course we’re not going to do any normal three-plait braid,” explained hairstylist Bob Racine about his wispy-yet-perfect fishtail plaits that started at the nape of the neck. “The flyaways are gorgeous and charming. That’s the kind of style we wanted to have. It’s very approachable.”

Power Pastels

PHOTOGRAPHY VIA KISS NAILS

Effortless beauty for the modern-day working woman was the key messaging at Rebecca Minkoff’s see-now, buy-now SS2020 presentation near the beginning of the week. To follow suit, nail guru Gina Edwards used “do-and-go” press-on nails from ImPress. “The whole idea was cool, moody pastels and adding some accents,” Edwards explained. What these easy, breezy hues definitely are not: “the chalky pastels of the ‘90s,” she said.

Pop of Gold

PHOTOGRAPHY VIA IMAXTREE

The Blonds collection was inspired by a “Rococo vision of heaven,” explained lead makeup artist Kabuki. Using MAC Cosmetics, Kabuki created a dramatic golden wing on model’s eyelids by layering shimmering brown and gold shadows along the crease.

The main beauty moment at Self-Portrait was definitely this exaggerated, neon-winged eye. We’re filing this one under daring, party-ready makeup vibes.

Mega Shimmer and Shine

Honestly, you had to be there to truly appreciate just how breathtaking this runway beauty moment at Area was. Inspired by images in 1970s catalogues where models’ hair looked like it was caught in knots, hair maestro Jawara Wauchope made sparkling crystal wigs, which he then sewed into girls’ hair using a traditional sew-in weave technique. “We treated the crystal wigs as if they were wefts, and sewed them on [braided] tracks,” said the hairstylist.
