LA Time’s correspondent Booth Moore reports on the NYC Fashion Week experience:
Maybe it’s the grow-your-own food movement, the popularity of farmers markets, or simply the fact that these are spring collections, but botany is sprouting up as a theme all over the runways.
Carolina Herrera took colors, prints and floral appliques from 18th century botanical plates for her collection, which included a gown hand-painted with the image of a flower, along with its name and species.
For her Garden of Eden-themed collection, Monique Lhuillier worked with cherry blossom print taffeta, draping it into a pleated A-line cocktail dress and a ball gown. (Also spotted: “sage green,” “mint floral” and “poppy” organza.)
At Donna Karan, shoes were decorated with leather leaves and gauzy long slip dresses were “saffron-stained” and “tamarind-distressed.” A rough-textured, jute-colored nubuck jacket was reminiscent of a seed sack.
Jenny Packham, who is fast becoming a favorite of the red carpet set for her lovely gowns — many of which have sleeves, for those who care about that sort of thing — tapped wallpaper specialists de Gournay to design the moody, hand painted florals for her finale gowns, one in a silk crepe de chine with a beaded tulle shoulder.

When looking for a photographer to take your actor headshots or model headshots, you should seek someone who has experience shooting aspiring models and actors, people just like you. Ask prospective photographers if they can provide references and definitely review their portfolios; most photographers post sample work on the Internet.
Photographers that charge less than the average for actor headshots and model headshots generally make up for the cost in volume – they take a lot of pictures for less money. Your session might be rushed. If you cannot afford the cost of a high-quality photographer, you risk a bad experience, ugly headshots, and money lost.
Digital photography has made proofing, retouching, and reproducing actor headshots and model headshots a much more streamlined process. You will be able to view your proofs quickly, and the photographer should be able to retouch the photographs appropriately.
Anyone offering a deal on actor headshots and model headshots probably won’t spend as much time processing your photos – processing includes color correcting and retouching, which can make a huge difference in the final results.

You’ve been avoiding greasy foods and drinking lots of water in preparation for your actor headshots or model headshots. You look your best, and it’s the day of your headshot session. What do you bring?
For actor headshots or model headshots, women should bring a small makeup kit that includes a mirror, foundation, mascara, lipstick, and other basics. Bring a brush and hairspray. Men should bring a shaving kit, if applicable, a comb, and hair product so that they can experiment with different styles and looks.
Choose clothing in solid colors that will complement your skin, hair, and eyes. Avoid stripes, complicated patterns, and logos, which will be too “busy” in your actor headshots or model headshots. Women should avoid wearing distracting jewelry and exposing too much cleavage. The clothing should enhance your image, not obscure it.
Bring three or four distinct looks: sporty, casual, business, and formal. Go through your closet and pick out your favorite outfits: which articles of clothing do your friends and family like best? Make sure your clothes are clean – they should look new or close to new. Eat before your appointment and bring bottled water and snacks.
