The German-Born Fashion Editor with the Devastating Smile

Who's that looking over her shoulder seductively on the Contributors page of the Spring-Summer Vogue Hommes International.... Miley Cyrus?










You WISH! It's actually stylist Julia von Boehm, who styled Enrique Murciano and Angela Lindvall for photographer David Mushegain, in a profile of the "Without a Trace" star.




The magazine calls Julia "the German-born fashion editor with the devastating smile."
They weren't lying.

...and THM covers are on the stands.

Look out for new Spring covers from some of our artists!



Shay Ashual styled Julianne Moore's hair for the May cover of Harper's, photographed by Peter Lindbergh.












For the May Glamour cover, Miki styled Fergie for photographer Patrick Demarchelier.

A Stroke of Genius

In the April edition of British VOGUE, Anna-Marie Solowij exposes what she calls "the new creative order" in the art of makeup.






Solowij explains that the new look is a true movement, dug up from the streets, with elements of the art world, the fusion of fashion + music, and all things abstract and avant-garde.



























For the article, with photographs by Paolo Roversi, makeup artist Lisa Butler (with Neil Moodie styling hair) created the look to capture the feeling of the piece, and Solowij goes on to describe Lisa as "an expert in challenging our perceptions of what is normal."

A Day in the Life

Style.com runs a frequent series in their style blog called "A Day in the Life" where they profile popular faces in fashion, beauty, and style.

During the height of show week in Milan, Neil Moodie shared what a normal day is like for a hair stylist that typically works 10-12 shows every season.

I'm surprised he even had the time to write it all down, given the ATM ate his bank card on Sunday morning, the models all showed up late, someone's heel snapped off, and WHO THE HELL IS DOING MAKEUP!!?!?!?!


All in a day's work, I guess....

The House that Bumble Built

When it comes to hair, no one plays with innovation and imagination better than Bumble and bumble. But don't be fooled, the House of Bumble is more than just a pretty head of hair.

Bumble and Fashion Week have been together for nearly 20 years now, and Bumble Session Stylist, Laurent Philippon, has been along for much of the ride.




Besides being a backstage staple at Bumble shows and events for over 17 years, the definitively cool Laurent (he calls New York and Paris home) is featured in the 6th issue of Bumble's in-house publication, Hair Stories.


















In this issue, dedicated to all things Fashion Week, Hair Stories captures the feeling backstage at the shows from 2 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours, and 2 minutes to show time.















And who better to ask then Bumble's unstoppable Fashion Week force, not to mention our own continent-hopping artist in residence, Laurent Philippon:

Kramer vs. Kramer vs. Chai

The secret is out: Tina Chai has a little crush on Meryl Streep.

OK, not really.... but in this clip from Style.com, Tina talks about how her obsession with trenches dates back to that iconic scene from Kramer vs. Kramer, with Meryl in the park and the kid and Dustin Hoffman.... see, I'm getting all nostalgic.

Tina also talks about keeping it simple in the summer months with light items from young, up and coming designers.
