MI-RO FASHION SHOW

Monday at Golden Hall was the fashion show of design duo MI-RO Dimitris Mastrokalos and Giannis Raptis.
It was held in Kalogirou Shoes for the 120 year celebration of the brand.

Make up was Manos Vynichakis for Shiseido. Manos is one of the leading make up artists in Greece and Creative Director of Shiseido. Modern smokey eye and nude lips and cheek created a dramatic focus to the eyes. The skin was pure perfection using Shiseido foundations that really highlighted the beauty of the models.

Hair was George Doudesis and his team. The hair was pulled back in a low pony tail and teased out to perfection.

Stylist Michael Pandos, and Vogue Senior Fashion Editor, styled the models to perfection. The use use of bold panty hose patterns was an interesting twist.

Now the NAILS... Caviar Nails by me and the Nail Academy by NYXI NYXI were some of the things that caught the fashionista crowd by surprise! 2 tone degradation nails were airbrushed at the academy days before the event and applied by team Mersida Kerama, Stefania, Tracey, and Elina. 33 models wore the nails we had designed.

Designers Giannis and Dimitri as well as Michael Pandos had a pre production meeting to design the nails with me. It was their first time extending the design process to include fingers and toes and I think it was a success.

Nail foils are back with a Vengeance!

Nail trends are changing, and fast. Louder, edgier more playful nails are all the rage as seen recently on the catwalks in Milan and Paris.
In the world of nails it is all about experimenting, and not taking yourself (or your nails) too seriously. Play with metallics, bright colours, bold prints, reverse manicures – anything goes. Minx Nails is the go-to brand for fashion houses and a favourite amongst celebrities like Beyonce and Katy Perry.
Designers such as Charlie Le Mindu showed designs made completely out of NAILS at his SS12 show in Paris. Items included sweaters, hats and accessories. Marian Newman(world famous nail technician) headed the project and created NAIL HISTORY.

This is what gossip tv wrote about me today!

Η Άννα Αλμπάνη είναι ένα κορίτσι που το γνώρισα πρίν μερικούς μήνες, όταν μας τίμησε με την παρουσία και τις γνώσεις της στην εκπομπή ΚΟΥΣ ΚΟΥΣ. Μια γυναίκα πανέξυπνη με έμφυτο επιχειρηματικό δαιμόνιο, η οποία ξεκίνησε την επιχείρησή της δειλά δειλά, πρίν μια δεκαετία και βρίσκεται σήμερα με μεγάλη αλυσίδα καταστημάτων με αντικείμενο τα νύχια. Δεν είναι βεβαίως μια απλή "νυχού" αν και η ίδια αυτό λέει κάθε φορά που την ρωτούν. Πρόσφατα πηγές μας ταξίδεψαν στο Λονδίνο και όπως με πληροφορήσαν η Άννα...

συνεργάστηκε σε show του διάσημου σχεδιαστή Tom Ford. Μάλιστα κάποιοι μου σφύριξαν ότι ο σχεδιαστής ενθουσιάστηκε με την εξαιρετική δουλειά της Άννας η οποία για την ιστορία να πούμε πώς ηγήθηκε η ίδια της ομάδας που ανέλαβε το show και της πρότεινε να συνεργαστούν και πάλι στο άμεσσο μέλλον σε show που θα κάνει στη Νέα Υόρκη. Μπράβο Άννα...Σε μια εποχή μίζερη και αχάριστη είναι ωραίο να μου δίνεις αφορμές για να γράφω καλές ειδήσεις....
