MARIA CORNEJO
Last night, W Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Stefano Tonchi, partnered up with Global P&G Prestige President, Joanne Crews, to host the Ever Changing Face of Beauty event at our big apple’s Park Avenue Armory. In the frenzy of Fashion Week, W pulled out all the stops using the massive arena-like space to welcome more than 600 guests. If there was ever a fashion week party worth clawing your way into, this was it.
The event celebrated a video installation by world-renowned fashion photographer, Sølve Sundsbø and had a celebrity guest list that could go on for days. The video featured 2 large screens representing man on one, and woman on the other. Throughout the video, both screens show the outcomes of evolution in beauty around the world and its consequences.
Reality check: fashion and politics have never seemed to get along. Apparently, lawmaking calls for boring pantsuits and “mommy-style” skirting. Not any more. Thanks to Michelle Obama’s favorite designer, Maria Cornejo, Capitol Hill may be kissed with a little sassiness. During Fashion Week, Cornejo said Washington D.C. is stepping up its style.
