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 !

Little Black Dress


Hi everyone! The spring/summer season arrived in the fashion industry as many designers have
already realized their collections. This was a reason for me to update my wardrobe when I realized I
don’t have a “little black dress”.
I wanted something special feminine with a soft line and rough edge on the solder. When I started
sketching it came to me, the whole look…A woman with a curved shape, long neckline and a
dramatic look on the face.

I started talking with the team and we decided to go to the +Castel Haller for inspiration. If you
haven’t visited the +Castel Haller until now, we strongly recommend you to visit it. Dating from the
15th century, and known for its luxury, the castle has been recently rehabilitated and decorated
following its initial interior design. After visiting it, the medieval air made us think about fairy tales,
princesses and princes, intrigues and masked balls. And because we were preparing one of our
weekly looks, we brainstormed and prepared a medieval and romantic party look.




























The dress is a modern little black dress every girl should have in her closet for special events. It is
always elegant and is easy to accessorize or match with a minimalistic makeup for example of black
liner and red lipstick. For this specific dress, we did a romantic curly hair and a mask-like makeup as
if our graceful princess was preparing for an evening ball. The makeup has a shimmer blue smoky
eyes, white crystals glued on a shadowed side and, of course, the mandatory red lipstick. From the
medieval times, we kept the pale skin and the rosy cheeks. We accessorized the dress with a black
flower from the same tulle material as the dress, black shoes and black and silver clutch.

Make up for fashion show



Hi everyone! I hope you liked our last post. Today Gina prepared for you a nice tip for make up.

Fashion show makeup usually tends to be unique and innovative, at the same time wearable as,
along the clothes, makeup will be a sought-after product. Let’s not forget that a fashion show is a
show and the makeup, fitting the garment must be spectacular as well.

Last November, the Style Mile team participated at the Extravagance Fashion Show held in Galati
with a collection inspired by the Impressionism. This was a great opportunity for learning how to
prepare for a national-wide fashion show in terms of team setup, clothes and look designs and
setting.

So, back to makeup, here are some thoughts on how to prepare for a fashion show if you are a
makeup artist.

1. The final look on the runaway represents the work of an entire team: the designer, the
makeup artist, the hairstylist and the model. The makeup artist must present te designer’s
vision as well as the makeup trends of that time.

2. The makeup design must be prepared in advance, after viewing the clothes and knowing the
designer’s vision. It is OK to prepare several designs, test them on models or prepare some
face charts. The image below is just an example.





















3. Face charts are very important because, once the look approved, the makeup artist can
write down all information on products used, their use on the face or any other special
instructions. This will be helpful as during the show, the makeup must be done quickly,
sometimes on more models.





4. Before the show begins, it is recommended to test the makeup on the catwalk, if something
does not look OK, or the designer does not like the makeup under those light, there is still
time to change the look.




5. Bear in mind that models have different skin tones and that the intense pink for the cheeks
may not look the same on each face or that you need to make up models who are wearing
a makeup from a previous presentation from which you can still preserve foundation and
mascara, for example.

6. Just before the show, refresh lipstick, or powder to combat shine and be prepared to stand
by and retouch while the models are changing clothes.

Back to the Extravagance show, we have prepared several makeup looks inspired by fairy tales like
Cinderella. Here is what we created.

‘There are no rules for makeup’, just creativity!

Just like in the 60’s

Hi everyone! It’s finally Monday which means we have the look for this week! The first weekly look of 2013!

The inspiration for this look was the 60’s. These 1961 Classic Teen Junior Cocktail Dresses were the starting points of my designs.


I wanted to create both an evening and a day look at the same time. If you put on a jacket and a nice simple high heel, you can wear it throughout the day at the office. After getting over with the daily job all you have to do is put on some accessories (mostly silver in this case), take off the laser and feel free to go out with your friends to dinner. It’s going to look nice on you, because it's not too glamorous yet still feminine.

We chose Haller Castel for the photo shoot. That place blows my mind. The furnishing is spectacular, with the old aspect of the castle. The garden looks like it would be from 19th century or older, with a beautiful metal cupola and benches. It’s a really romantic place. If you want to know more about the place click here.
The Haller Castle crest

I think this velvet dress is going really nice with the concept of the castle.










For this look our makeup artist Gina Bordas chose this nice smoky eye with a little red on the cheek. I think this color matches perfectly with this blue green eye.




We have a new crew member a young hair stylist. She’s new in the industry. Her name is Szidonia Akacos. She made this ruffled loop of hair, making the face more opened, meanwhile the back and shoulder of the dress is nicely shown.




On this photo shoot I worked with two photographers Levente Engel and Andras Bandi, I hope you enjoyed it. You can check the crew members' work separately by clicking on their name.
