NYFW | Nicholas K ss17 in live sketches
Nicholas K kicked off New York Fashion Week on the first official fashion week day. Nicholas K is a global luxury brand that elicits the modern urban nomad. It has been one of CFDA members since 2010. SS17 was inspired from the 2014 movie “Theeb”, which is a 2014 Jordanian Arabic-language film written and directed by Naji Abu Nowar. The design team of Nicholas K picked the idea and feeling from movie and then put in the new line, such as the earth color. From the images we can see the new line still keeps Nicholas K style but more neutral and loose. I love the oversized floppy hats by the way!
It was very glad to meet Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and Miss USA Deshauna Barber at the show.
Lulu captured them in the front row!
More sketches!
And more, live sketches of the models in Nicholas K ss17 in runway.

New York Fashion Week – Denibi Utopia Collection
Heydoyou.com was invited to attend Denibi’s New York Fashion Week runway show yesterday.
The new collection named Utopia.
Collection notes:
“The main inspiration of the brand came from the single ebony wood mask named Nostalgia. That is our main source of inspiration. Its minimalism, its meaning and its aesthetic is what developed our entire collection. Nostalgia is also the first piece of art that we ever made.”
About the brand:
Denibi is a fashion house born and based in Barcelona. We specialize in high quality leather goods, ready-to-wear, and furniture inspired by the city of Barcelona, the essence of traveling, African heritage and minimalism.
The name “Denibi” symbolizes a utopia for creatives. An island never damaged or influenced by any negative foreign interference. Where creatives are able to push themselves to the fullest of their artistic abilities in the comfort of like minds and limitless possibility. That concept is what we know today as the future. Denibi has been preparing the future for years to bring fine taste and minimalism through design. The architecture and aesthetic of the island is represented through the many tones of pastel colors and whites throughout each collection.

New Beauty Brand Made For You. By You.
Meet BHüe, a cosmetic brand that creates its products using crowdsourcing and feedback from customers, so they’re able to stay ahead of trends and produce products people actually want. The BHüe team examined all types of skin tones and creates products that will pair with each tone. For example, each shade of the Liquid Matte Lipstick pairs with every skin undertone, and the Cover Foundation is available in hues that will match every undertone as well.
The e-commerce cosmetic brand includes a line of liquid matte lipsticks with shades to complement every style and mood, an all-in-one pencil kit, spot foundation in nine tones to match any hue of skin at any age, and tinted jelly lip balm that applies clear and gradually turns hues of pink as it’s pressed on the lips, all at competitive price points.
BHüe is a new e-commerce beauty brand boasting a unique business structure where products are created using crowdsourcing and feedback directly from customers. This proactive and nimble process allows BHüe to engage in a two-way conversation with their customers, known as the BHüe crew, adjust products quickly while staying ahead of industry trends, and produce products that people want. BHüe’s mission is to help individuals look in the mirror and see their best, most confident self. Be fearless. Be bold. Be yourself. BHüe.
Officially launched in May 2016, and formulated out of a small laboratory in Little Falls, NJ, the BHüe brand was founded by makeup manufacturer-turned entrepreneur and brand builder, Ivonne Ruggles. Ivonne’s background in beauty is extensive, with experience in operations and manufacturing from a young age. Her knowledge spans from the inner-workings of the lab where she spends much of her time, to raw materials, and the complete process of product development. Ruggles, who is also a certified makeup artist, says “I love that the beauty industry is really an intersection between science and art. We live in a world that is both subjective and objective and I pull my inspirations from thinking of beauty from these opposite but complementary angles.”
With Ruggles’ unmatched, hands-on approach and industry knowledge, BHüe is able to set itself apart and make exceptional products holistically. Paraben-free, cruelty-free and hypo-allergenic, BHüe uses a proprietary methodology to create color for the wide range of people’s unique skin tones and combine it with current color trends. Like the BHüe name implies, the beauty brand has expansive understanding of color, with specific techniques to develop raw pigment colors when creating products.
