    Project Runway’s Chris March Combines Beauty and Fashion - Hair Scare! or Hair Dare?

    Chris March from Project Runway

    Let me preface with “I love Chris March!” from Project Runway. I liked him from the onset. His rotund frame and jovial laughter warmed my icy heart. I always knew that Christian was going to end up on the final three (talented but cold he is) and I had high hopes for Jillian. However here is my two cents on Rami:

    • While I loved loved his first Grecian drapery dress, it got old quick and he seems like a one trick pony!
    • I started not liking him after that one episode when I felt he was insufferably rude to Sweet Pea (whose dress that episode was far superior to his! Karma sucks huh? Ha!)
    • Lastly, I did not like his looks for the final runway show. While we all thank god he didn’t parade a string of Grecian gowns in different colors and fabrics, I felt the fit was all wrong and it was nothing new or inspiring.

    Now let’s talk about Chris March and his use of HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS in his design work!

    So the collar and trim of the jacket is lined with human hair extensions. At first I was a touch repulsed by the idea of human hair collars, but actually I think it was well designed and the idea of combing my jacket and flat ironing my coat kinda tickles me. :) I think its high time that some wit be interjected into the stuffy realm of high fashion!

    I actually thought this dress was pretty. The hair extensions skirt looks nice and silky. More like fine mohair, one would never guess it was made of human hair. Also, I would have a field day at a party wearing this skirt and creating tall tales of how I was able to attain the scalps of hundreds of raven haired women!

    If you would like to experiment with hair extensions in your apparel click here, or any of the “hair extension” links in the post.

    So that’s my opinion, what’s yours?

    Couture Beauty at Christian Dior Spring 08

    The Christian Dior couture show was an artful explosion of shape and hue with billowing silhouettes and a decidedly untamed color palette. The beauty aspect of the show also did not disappoint–there were 1960s bouffants and mardi gras/showgirl eyes. Spectacular!
