François Nars for Marc Jacobs - Fall 2009 Fashion Week

After a 10 year hiatus, François Nars marked his return to the fashion runway in a larger than life way by leading the makeup direction for Marc Jacobs Autumn/Winter 2009 show. It included working with 65 models, and creating 65 different makeup looks. Nars unexpected return to fashion week can be attributed solely to Marc Jacobs. Weve known each other since the beginning so it was really fun to work with Marc again. I really love what he does, said Nars. The Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 collection paid homage to the New York night club scene of the 1970s and 80s. Drawing inspiration from these decades and the works of Sprouse, St. Laurent, and Halston, François Nars took into consideration each models individual beauty before creating a separate edgy look, reminiscent of the past but still very modern. "We are doing quite an eclectic look," he said. The inspiration for diversity came from Nars book XRAY. [Marc] wanted to keep that feeling, said Nars, the variety of looks, the same way we do the campaigns for NARS. http://www.narscosmetics.com
