Most Wanted: April 2013

“The new eye color: red. The unexpected hue popped up at Donna Karan, where the makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury used a red eye pencil as both liner and mascara (I like the rosy Pearl Shadow in Strawberry, above). At Gareth Pugh, the look was lipstick-red shadow smudged from the lids to the temples. And at Costello Tagliapietra, models wore the faintest shimmer of orangey red around their eyes.”—Jane Larkworthy Beauty Director

“With his second collection, Lewis is making a name for himself. Rather than design for the season ahead, he creates separates that can be worn right away—and year-round.”—Sam Milner Senior Market Editor and Manager

“Gazinskaya is one of my favorite young designers. Her silhouettes are wearable, but the sketched prints and exaggerated ruffles add an element of fantasy.”—Lacey Lennon Fashion Assistant
4
“With its wavy-glass facade by Christian de Portzamparc, of New York’s One57, the Renaissance offers an alternative to the ubiquitous baroque Parisian hotel—plus views of the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower.”— Virginia VanZanten Associate Editor
5
“J. Press was founded on the Yale University campus in 1902, and its wares have remained largely unchanged—until now. Thanks to Ariel and Shimon Ovadia, better known as Ovadia & Sons, the brand’s staples have been reinvented, with trimmer fits and cooler colors. Check them all out at the new store on New York’s Bleecker Street.”—Armand Limnander Deputy Editor

“I’m excited that Cartier is relaunching its Salvador Dalí–esque Crash watch. Introduced in 1967, it was inspired by a customer who had come in because his watch had, um, ‘crashed.’ ”—Claudia Mata Jewelry and Accessories Director

“Céline’s latest print is a modern take on some of my favorite old-school classics, like ultrapreppy striped ties and painted Goyard trunks.”—Nora Milch Associate Accessories Editor
8
“It’s all about statement rings, and Chloé nailed it with these oversize creations. I love that the ‘crystal’ is actually transparent resin with swirls of silver threads.”—Tina Huynh Jewelry Assistant
9
“I want the new techno-graphic sneakers from Raf Simons’s spring collection. The mix of leather, PVC, cotton, and polyurethane gives them extra flair.”—William Kahn Accessories Editor

“I’m thrilled about Naomi Campbell’s TV moment as a model coach—along with Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha—on the Oxygen network’s The Face. Stefano Tonchi [in gray suit] and I [third from left] had an amazing day with them on their first panel. I have my DVR set for Tuesday nights!”—Claudine Ingeneri Bookings Director
