inspiration

The Jonathan Simkhai Fall/Winter 2017 show was inspired by the idea of bringing attention to the “power woman.” Adding an air of Spanish influence throughout the collection, the line draws on rich hues and textures. Julie Kandalec for essie created three different nail looks for the show – midnight cami, topless & barefoot and a combination of licorice and bordeaux – to symbolize both power and femininity.
