Marc Jacob’s Louis Vuitton show, Paris

Twelve supermodel “nurses” opened the Marc Jacob’s Louis Vuitton show in translucent plastic trenches and CND’s Company Red. The Spring collection featured an array of bright pastels and varied fabric combinations, and CND custom-mixed colors for the runway — like a dove gray, mustard yellow, sage, and an intense orange — to match. CND’s vibrant Hot Pop Orange, Blue, Yellow, and Pink provided bursts of color that stood out through the netting of gloved hands carrying Richard Prince-inspired LV handbags.

China Glaze partnered with contemporary line Tart later in the week to create a nude pantyhose look on the nails by applying the company’s III, then topping it with Gilded Treasures. “These models looked incredible before they walked the runways,” says nail tech Melissa Bozant, who worked the show.
