CND FOR THE BLONDS FALL/WINTER 2014
Global leader in professional nail care designs exclusive runway looks for Fashion Week
“Our elite Education Ambassadors are hand selected
for their talent and appreciation of art, from sculpture to color theory
and beyond,” said CND Co-founder Jan Arnold. “Building upon this
artistic foundation, our team created looks for The Blonds that tie in
beautifully with our ‘Modern Folklore’ trend prediction for Fall 2014,
lush with embellished, bespoke and handmade craftsmanship. We don’t
paint nails backstage at Fashion Week – we transform them into
mini-masterpieces.”
The nail designs showcased at The Blonds show reveal
the pop culture element of CND’s Fall Fashion story for nails. The
handmade works of art are sharp, strong, bold and intricate with extreme
and pointed shapes. CND’s artists handcrafted the nails and their
dramatic embellishments with Retention+TM Liquid & Powder and
BrisaTM Gel. Then, layers of high-shine color were applied using CND
ShellacTM and VINYLUXTM. CND finalized the looks with unique
embellishments, including jagged vintage jewels, Swarovski crystals,
chains, pearls, leather, glitter, foil, velvet and more for a rich
seductive finish. These ornate designs, created in the CND Design Lab,
truly represent CND’s unique partnership with The Blonds and showcase
their unrivaled artistry at New York Fashion Week.
“CND continues to amaze us with nails that raise the
bar each season,” said The Blonds designers Phillipe and David Blond.
“They bring so much passion and expertise to the table and the
collaborative process is an inspiring experience. Each of our models
walks down the runway showcasing two incredible looks – one on her body
and one on her nails. You don’t see that at other shows.”
“As our exclusive designer partner this season in
New York, we love that The Blonds truly appreciate our art form and
allow us to push the artistic envelope even further as the years go by,”
said Jan Arnold. “Their avant-garde aesthetic and creative energy
provide the perfect canvas for our artistry. We look forward to making
runway magic with them for a long time to come.”
