Katie Gallagher’s Show Nails

Katie Gallagher loves creating worlds. First with her paintings, then by turning them into garments with a narrative and universe attached to it — eyes and nails too (as seen on this model backstage). Women like Daphne Guinness to Lady Gaga religiously wear Katie’s pieces. On Friday, Katie presented a new collection at MADE with brilliantly witchy vibes. To view the whole Fall 2013 collection, see here.

Speech Night: Nails & Dresses

By Jauretsi

While New York fashion women duke it out on the runways this week, somewhere else there are two leading women who trump them all — Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Romney. While selling their husbands to the American public, fashion decisions are not only crucial, but speak larger economic themes. Michelle Obama came out at the DNC with a sleeveless Tracy Reese dress and J. Crew heels, thereby effortlessly mixing high fashion with retail brands. Her nails? A grey shade of polish called “Vogue” by Artistic Nail Design. Available only at nail salons, the gel polish can last up to three weeks. Then there was Mrs. Romney, who not only came out very chic with her Oscar de la Renta dress, but also delivered a triple hitter with red nails, red lips, and red outfit — packing a Republican power punch at the RNC. Who will be the new champion lady? All we can do is wait bated breath for November to roll around.
