After seeing Dior‘s spectacular Couture show earlier this week, one thing (aside from the collection, that is) stood out: the brightly hued lashes on each model. Created by makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath, hot pink, cobalt blue and lime green eyeliner was applied over silver shadow, with matching mascara to make the neon colours stand out even more. Basically, it was impossible not to turn back to Sally Singer’s eyeball manicure for Nail Corner inspiration. This design may have more of a cartoonish than couture feel, but it’s one way you can get away with neon eyelashes for everyday wear.

This week, all eyes are on Nail Corner—or actually, Nail Corner is all over the eyes. Ever since Sophy Robson did Egyptian all-seeing eyes for Topshop’s Spring 2012 show, painted eyeballs have been popping up in the most curious places. Alexa Chung showed off an evil eye manicure while front row at Jason Wu‘s Fall 2012 show—and has since tweeted other variations of the design. Just last week Emily Weiss from Into the Gloss shared a look at Sally Singer‘s nails, complete with pretty lashes and glittered tips. While it may seem like an unusual design, we promise: once you paint an eyeball or two on your nails, you’ll never want to do a regular manicure again.

Word: Dude-topia

Meaning: A no-girls-allowed treehouse, or something? I don’t know, because I have a vagina.

Usage: “Until we can realize a female-free utopia—a “dude-topia,” if you will—we can only dream of a man-only world.” — from a blog post on vintage men’s magazine covers that I highly recommend you see to believe

The primary brights continue, as we spot tons of red (in form of titian-tressed Grace Coddington, Taylor Tomasi-Hill, and Anna Wintour‘s dress), yellow (in form of Tim Blanks‘ Prada bananas), and blue as in well, look at that wall!

Word: Micrography

Meaning: Literally, “small writing.” Historically, a Jewish form of calligraphy that developed in the ninth century. Currently, a similar—but not so much religious—way of using tiny, tiny text to render large-scale art, often used by bored graphic designers.

As Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens is currently without a fashion house (rumours of a partnership with Tory Burch’s ex notwithstanding), we’re going to have to content ourselves with his luscious new book, Olivier Theyskens: The Other Side of the Picture (US$120, Assouline). Filled with 150 illustrations and images–shot by French photographer Julien Claessens–and written with […]
