Love me or not...

Hi everyone! It’s Valentine’s Day!! Some of you feels good about it, other’s don’t…I was wondering about this “day” because today at work some of my colleague were excited what their partners would do for them, but the boys were exhausted and frustrated. I thought about this subject. 

After a big brainstorming with my friend at Style Mile we decided to do a Pro romantic look and a sarcastic anti valentine personality. 

The design is based on the personality. The romantic look pictures the girl who always dreams about the perfect man how may or not come… The design was inspired from the Renaissance, soft simple line. I used velvet with golden cord. In terms of makeup, we pictured the Pro girl wearing natural makeup, in neutral colors and a matching lipstick. She is always ready for a romantic date. 



















































The anti-valentine is a simple rock look. The girl who’s always sarcastic, realistic and always gets what she wants. The inspiration for this look is from the hipster’s mania. Her makeup was a blend of heavy lined eyes and a lipstick in the color of the dress. As you may see from the pictures, her expressive face was used to describe the anti feeling, meaning that romance is not important, but having fun yes. 



























On this photo shoot we worked with a new industrial designer Sanko Gyatsa. This amazing note book was made by him. You can check his work here.

Make up trends for 2013 (part1)

Hello! 

The spring is just one step forward and the fashion designers have already exhibited their idea on what makeup will women wear during the spring summer season. As you may know, there are no rules in makeup and it is quite all right to wear what suit you best. Our proposals for spring season / part 1 are:

1. Eye liner. Eyeliner has always been in trends, now more than before. You may experiment with various forms and line thicknesses, even with various colors. Our model comes with a daily look, with nude lip, and an evening look, with red and glittery lips. Ready for party!




2. More is less. A neutral, brown-based look and be assorted with red lips, no matter the time of the day. You can skip eye makeup or use just skin colors to enhance and mascara. The face will look neat and glamorous anyway.

3. Pink, pink, pink. Pink has become a must-wear color mostly for the young women. It can be used for daytime looks as well as for evening looks. For evening, some shimmer or glitter can be added. It is advisable to wear pink in one single color and not blend/mix with other colors. Find a pink shade that suits your skin tone!



Stay tuned! Part 2 will follow soon! Let us know what you think on the proposed looks and how they are looking on you!

Glam Rock Look


Hi everyone! There's this knotting technique I wanted to try for this week, to achieve a nice look of the glam rock style. I used gray and black velvet for it, but the important part is the technique itself. First I sew the dress. Then, I watered the fabric a bit and made a knot out of this whole dress and kept it like that for 12 hours to dry. Before the photo shoot I released the knot and got this nice texture on the material. But when you do this, be careful to apply the appropriate amount of water, because if it’s not wet, then, when you release it, it won’t have the texture, but if it’s too wet, the material won’t dry out and it will look ugly. This operation is really delicate, but it's worth trying. 







The velvet is an expensive looking material but using this technique it looks more cheap and casual. If you want to apply something on the dress (studs, chain, etc.) you should do afterward, because these sharp or hard pieces will destroy your material. 

Other designers use this same technique with woven material, and use paint instead of water., achieving outstanding effects, but I tried to keep it simple. 

Our make up artist's opinion: „This week’s look was somewhat wanted to be an inspiration for the makeup trends materials under way. More to come in a future post. The look for this week wants to be an office look or, assorted with a red lip, for a night out or a party. We chose black eye pencil and black eyeliner with accentuated flicks. If you decide to use the look for a daylight event, match it with a nude lip. If you want to go at a party, but don’t have enough time to change your dress, just put a red, preferably intense, lip color and the look will be competed and sophisticated. It also looks nice to add some red glitter to intensify the effect.”

Peparing the Skin for Makeup


Hello everybody!

Today’s topic is related to makeup and skin care so I thought of sharing some ideas on how to prepare the skin before makeup. This material can be considered as a training material for models and persons who are preparing for a photo session and contains a list of recommendations that can be applied on a daily basis. Since our latest activity involved a lot of outdoor activity at low temperatures, models can use the advice below for successful sessions.

Here is our list:

1. Drink water and be hydrated.



2. If possible, don’t stay in the sun/wind before the photo shooting, the makeup artist can’t work miracles on a flaky face.

3. It is very important to clean the face at least two times a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. This routine should include cleansing, toner and face creams. A scrub is recommended at least twice a week to remove dead cells. Choose your face cream according to your skin type and condition. For example for moisturizers  a dry skin will need a heavier, oil-based moisturizer, a water-based moisturizer will be ok for a normal skin and oil-free and water based product for an oily and combination skin. Sensitive skin benefits from specially designed products, fragrance and dye-free.



4. Use an eye cream to combat puffiness and dark circles, if needed.

5. It is ok to layer different textures

6. If in summer, use a skin protector with high SPF. This will prevent the skin from sun damage.

7. If in winter, do not use an hydrating cream in the morning as the cold outside may freeze the water particles and cause skin irritation. Instead, emollient products, like colloidal or gel textures. You can use hydrating products in the evening without any problems.


I hope you find the recommendations useful and applicable for best results. Stay tuned, we

are preparing interesting posts for the next days!

Inspired by Burda



Hi everyone! It`s Monday which means the Style Mile crew made you a new look for this week. The inspiration for this look was Burda Style :D. The spring is on the way and we thought about nice pastel colors and irregular forms. The dress which I choose to redesign it has a nice “river” form. The idea of this look is the simplicity of forms and causality of the design. 

For this photo shoot we choose Muse cafĂ© from our city (Targu Mures) because it has a nice antic look and a worm charming feeling. We really recommend it if you are coming in this town. 



























Gina`s idea about the look: After seeing the dress and proposed accessories, my thought went to a 60’s-inspired makeup, matching the miniskirt and the gogo boots. At that time, the focus was on lined eyes, false eye lashes and bold lips. The look made me look back at old family photos, with my mum wearing miniskirts and boots and having fun. For this look, we went back in time and proposed a makeup with heavy eye liner and accentuated pink-based lipstick. The hair was simply put together in a knot, without any special preparations.

Leather necklace

Hi everyone! It’s Friday, thank God! How was your week? Mine was full of hard work. I thought that the clothing industry is easy, that’s why it's called “easy” industry. But the truth is: this work is really hard and well under paid. I’m doing this for my “big” dream. Maybe “someday” my cloths going to go down on the “big” runways.

Anyway, for today I prepared for you a really nice necklace made from leather and studs. Enjoy !
