Paris Fashion Week saw the designs of Alexander McQueen come alive on the nails of the models in the Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2011 show. U.K. nail stylist Marian Newman headed the team that used custom-made Minx to top models’ nails.
“Some of the templates created were exact reproductions of the fabric, while others were a gold version that used the motifs of the fabric,” explains Newman, “and still other designs were a more natural variation that accessorized the more delicate pieces.”
