TORONTO FASHION WEEK
Essie had several new trends on the runway at Toronto Fashion week. The mastermind behind the season’s hottest nails is Rita Remark, Essie’s Global Lead Educator and Lead Nail Artist.
Rita designed some very edgy modern turquoise nails for Mackage which contrasted with the more traditional designs she did for Lucian Matis. The latter resembled a French manicure, although somewhat more bold with prints, embroidery and beaded accents.
Rita’s nail fashion designs for the runway at Haley Elsaesser were colourful with eccentric and daring designs which were well matched to the clothing, while at Matthew Gallagher the Essie nails were more conservative and classic. The use of a matte coat and a line of negative space added some pizazz and produced a striking velvety effect. These designs were intended to match Gallagher’s lines which are typically intended for classy cocktail events.
