Fall 2013 Runway Lacquer Trends: London, Paris and Milan!

Sadly fashion month is over, but there is so much inspiration to be gathered from the runways! Trends for Fall 2013 range from classic fabrics to exaggerated silhouettes to lots of bling. Once again, the nails were on point this season and complemented the fall fashions beautifully. We’ve already covered New York Fashion Week so here are our favorite manicures from London, Milan and Paris!

London Fashion Week

Major trends at LFW include jewel tones, romantic fabrics like lace and chiffon as well as Medieval silhouettes. Nails tended to be in darker shades like ruby, eggplant, oxblood and black. Get your luxury crimson shades ready! Nail art wasn’t as prominent this season, but a few popular styles like matte, glitter and half-moons popped up.

Milan Fashion Week

At MFW, dramatic outerwear, classic fabrics like plaid and tweed and bright colors graced the runway. The manicures stayed classic and were pretty much free from any nail art. Popular shades included nude, crimson (again), oxblood and black.

Dolce & Gabbana

Dsquared2

Fendi

Paris Fashion Week

Pretty pastels, super short hemlines and oversized silhouettes ended Fashion Month on a high note. The nails at PFW were artistic, detailed and fun. Nail artists experimented with bright colors, long talons, and matching lipstick & lacquer. Classic styles like the French manicure and the popular gradient were given a dramatic flair.

Minimal Lacquer Stands Out at Milan Fashion Week

Right now we are all about Milan Fashion Week! The collections that show during MFW are usually fun, colorful and sometimes controversial. While the fashion was outrageous, most of the nail styles were pretty toned down.

At Dolce and Gabbana the nails were clean and bare so as not to distract from the colorful collection.

Creative director Karl Lagerfeld instructed the beauty team at Fendi to keep the models looking “more young and playful” so manicurists mixed Chanel Le Vernis Ming with Mimosa and a white polish to create a chic nude-salmon color.

Nail stylists at Roberto Cavalli mixed MAC Snob and Fiestaware and topped it off with a matte topcoat to create a warm melon pink lacquer.

Missoni and Moschino stayed neutral with cappuccino and white nails, respectively.

On the other end of the spectrum, a few designers accessorized with brighter lacquer. At Aquilano.Rimondi, matching coral nails and lips complemented a graphic, jewel-toned collection. Nails at the 1a Classe Alviero Martini Collection show matched the orange, pink and ivory color palette.
