Nicholas K kicked-off the Spring 2011 season, and had the distinction of being the first show inside Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s new home at Lincoln Center.  Flat-screen monitors displayed the shows’ dates and times.

Mercedes-Benz has partnered with IMG to bring us fashion week here in New York.  They have a big presence under the Tents within the lobby.

Fashion’s Night Out was well represented with its own booth under the Tents during the first two days of fashion week.  T-shirts were available for sale for the big event.

DHL is also a sponsor under the Tents, and they have a very regal display in the lobby.

Maybelline has also partnered with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and they hand out free make up daily to guests.  Here we have Kathleen the space manager.

Two of the models with Maybelline, Yana and Lauren wearing Aqua.  They each posed with the Maybelline Falsies Volume Express mascara in hand.

Project Runway returns to the airwaves this week, so it seems fitting to highlight Christian Siriano’s make-up line at Victoria’s Secret.  Siriano is the winner of season 4 on the reality hit.  He worked as a make-up artist when he first moved to New York, and now he is a designer.  Not bad, a make-up artist and a fashion designer.  It obviously pays to be versatile in this economy.  The lip glosses are very tempting; I’m more of a lip gloss and mascara kind of girl, but he has bronzers, eye shadows, eyeliners and the like.  Now we can get our push-up bras and Christian Siriano’s lip gloss in one shot.  It works for me.
