2011 Spring New York Fashion Week

Designers have been heading to the beach for their hair inspiration this Spring. All over the place at New York Fashion Week tousled, windswept locks were being worn either loosely tied back, or free flowing and wavy. Yesterday Michael Kors unveiled his Summer collection to a fanfair of celebrity devotees. The show included a slew of bronzed beach babes with artfully tousled hair created by hair guru Orlando Pita using Bumble and Bumble's texturising Surf Spray (£18.50).

Then there was Thakoon's show which featured models strutting with tousled long locks created by Frederic Fekkai stylist Dedier Malige. Before them Charlotte Ronson rocked a 1990s grunge vibe with a new age beach traveller look accentuated by small boho plaits run through models' hair.

The central theme seems to be texture, and lots of it. The look is also enhanced by simple naturally bronzed skin and very simple makeup. Will you be a tousled beach babe in Spring?

Katie Holmes joined in the Fashion Week madness, stepping out to see the Calvin Klein runway presentation in NYC yesterday. Katie has been on the East Coast while Tom Cruise was taking care of business and his motorcycles back in LA, but he was with her last night as she changed into a strapless white dress and the couple left their Manhattan residence. The final shows wrapped up yesterday before the action moves to London starting today. Stay tuned for more fashion week fun featuring NYC and London from me and FabUK.

Kelly Osbourne went to the Anna Sui show at New York Fashion Week yesterday before changing into a dress to watch the Jeremy Scott collection. Kelly has reportedly been seen on a couple of low key dates with Chace Crawford lately, though he was nowhere to be seen as she chatted to Kanye West. Meanwhile her Mulberry party partner Alexa Chung sat front row at Philip Lim, wearing a navy and cream outfit — FabUK wants to know if you love it or hate it — and Julianne Moore was spotted at the Reed Krakoff show in a LBD and furry boots.

We're nearly at the end of New York Fashion Week and already I'm excited about all the hot new beauty trends. One thing that's emerged so far across the board is a strong 1970s thread, both in hair and makeup. (Think loose languid curls and translucent skin. Or, in Marc Jacobs' case, full disco glamour!) The flip side of this has been a new minimalism, particularly when it comes to lips.

Makeup artists have been embracing nude, or nearly nude, in several of the shows. Thakoon's forest nymph collection included a bevvy of nude lipped beauties. Similarly at Derek Lam, retro 1960s eye makeup was worn with a natural lip shade. Donna Karan too, for her beautiful ethereal collection worked luminous natural skin tones with au naturelle lips. Vera Wang's also included natural lips. It's clearly a growing phenomenon. Only recently Gemma Arterton worked the 'barely there' makeup look on the red carpet. Are you a fan?
