When the runways of New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024 became a canvas, the art wasn’t just in the sway of fabrics but at the fingertips of those who wore them. Enter Gina Edwards, celebrity nail artist and KISS Brand Ambassador, who elevated the concept of nail fashion to new heights with her masterful creations. Against the backdrop of the season’s most stunning collections, Edwards’ nails were not just accessories; they were statements, whispering tales of glamour, resilience, and empowerment.
For the Prabal Gurung collection, imagine nails that speak in the language of memories – fragmented, elusive, yet strikingly vivid. Edwards translated the journey from bold resilience to soft vulnerability into a palette of passion reds and tender pastels, with nails serving as the perfect echoes of the past, hauntingly glamorous.
Then, with Sergio Hudson, the nails took a different turn, echoing the 70’s glam with denim and velvet, channeling the iconic styles of Diana Ross and Dianne Carroll. Edwards envisioned opulent nails bedecked with faceted stones and gold accents – a true reflection of the era’s indulgence.
And for PatBo, the nails were no less than the empowered woman herself, bold and dark with statement-making shapes. Edwards chose the bold black French tip by imPRESS NO GLUE Mani as the embodiment of the collection’s spirit – vulnerability interwoven with undeniable strength.
Ahead, we dive into all the details how Gina Edwards redefined the very essence of a modern muse and how you can bring the runway home with KISS and imPRESS press-on nails.
