Edgy Gracefulness at PatBO
Creative Director Patricia Bonaldi’s PatBO Fall 2023 Collection is a visual celebration of her roots in hand craftsmanship and the skill of her team of talented Brazilian artisans. The collection is a nod to the 90s It girl, updated for the modern wardrobe.
Celebrity nail artist and KISS Brand Ambassador Gina Edwards created multicolored French tips and a “Mosaic French” to complement the edgy gracefulness of the collection. NEW! imPRESS Press-On Falsies in style ‘Natural’ were used to accentuate the eyes and create fullness for a natural yet bold beauty look.
“The collection brings us into the Kate Moss era with an edgy gracefulness. We did four total nail looks featuring colored French tips and the core nail look was an interlocking pattern of all the colors for a multi colored tip French which I’m calling “The Mosaic French,” says Edwards.
“imPRESS Press-On Falsies in style ‘Natural’ were used to accentuate the eyes and create fullness for a natural yet bold beauty look,” says Global Executive Director for Aveda Janell Geason.

Monarch Butterflies at Prabal Gurung
Prabal Gurung’s Fall/Winter 2023 Collection was inspired by impermanence and a butterfly the designer encountered during a recent 10-day meditation. The collection features asymmetric silhouettes that challenge the idea of harmony and juxtaposes light against dark, and soft draping against hard angularity. This season, he explores moodier, richer hues of vermillion, saffron, and burgundy. The crystal embellishments and gold embroideries are reminiscent of the brighter stars of home.
“We created four nail looks for the show based off the Monarch butterfly the collection is partly inspired by. I wanted to create an abstract version of the Monarch in our featured nail look, “The Wing,” says celebrity nail artist and KISS Brand Ambassador Gina Edwards. “imPRESS Falsies in style ‘Natural’ were the perfect finishing touch, elevating the makeup look and enhancing models’ natural lashes”
