NARS 15×15 Beauty Book


In honor of Nars' 15th anniversary, beauty guru, Francois Nars created a beautiful masterpiece I like to call, Coffee Table Candy. The 15x15 Project is set to launch on November 12, 2009. The book is a compilation of Nars' very own makeup and photography. (Brilliant x-mas gift idea) We can't wait!

Show Stopper

A new art installation featuring 13 reconstructed opera costumes is scheduled to be unveiled at New York City's David H. Koch Theatre (the site of Lincoln Center's opera) on Nov. 6.

Manhattan-based artists E.V. Day salavaged costumes that had been relegated to the dregs of concert hall storage closests, from legendary operas like La Traviata, Madame Butterfly and La Boheme.

Stunning.
