SHOW: G-Star Raw
WHEN: February 12

WHO: Rosario Dawson, Jared Leto, Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky, Gemma Arterton, Mena Suvari, Alan Cumming, Tinsley Mortimer, Miss J Alexander, Yaya Dacosta, Cast of MTV's Skins — Daniel Flaherty, Sofia Black-D'Elia and James Newman.
FASHION: The show, though scaled back from previous seasons, was strong with well structured and tailored pieces and a main focus on functionality. From fanny packs, inflatable collars to oversized pockets that could fit everything one might own (with room to spare) were everywhere on the runway. With knits that were chunky and cozy to cropped jackets with asymmetrical hem lines, this collection will pack anyone’s wardrobe full of great separates perfect for layering on those cool fall nights out on the town.
BEAUTY: There were no sleek, shiny locks on the G-Star runway, rather models sported wavy textured hair which was sprayed a with a touch of gray for a grungy, gritty urban feel. Makeup was kept natural nude lip and cheekbones highlighted with a peachy color blush.
COLOR/OVERHEAD: Friendships form on the front rows at Fashion week. Rosario Dawson and English actress Gemma Arterton giggled in the front row during the show as they enjoyed the fashions on the catwalk in front of them.
