The event in Shanghai was called <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Body Painting Cheong-sam Spectacular</span>. Then the show appeared in February 2006 to simultaneously celebrate the Chinese new Year and kick off Olympus Fashion Week. Following that, it came to the United States to tour various Nordstroms, where it was called <span style="font-weight: bold;">Chinese Dress.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyd9vlT19_TcJFuSINt0snZxe4he_4UY0xmDOIIMkfWH5lsWSVolVO_B1Fs-xFQCehIOjLtPIOdgo4ObzfSx_PQl6P5uOmVAqFrg2MGMxucumOosMa2f6l-P-Ctt3YjCWA4ip0I61sS6s/s1600-h/asian_body_art_1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387796303440653778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyd9vlT19_TcJFuSINt0snZxe4he_4UY0xmDOIIMkfWH5lsWSVolVO_B1Fs-xFQCehIOjLtPIOdgo4ObzfSx_PQl6P5uOmVAqFrg2MGMxucumOosMa2f6l-P-Ctt3YjCWA4ip0I61sS6s/s400/asian_body_art_1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 502px; height: 432px;" /></a><br /><br />Body painting is considered the haute couture of cosmetics. It combines the meticulous artistry of an oil painter with the special expertise of a makeup artist who understands how to paint human skin, said James Gager, the creative director of M.A.C.<br /><br />The practice dates from ancient Egypt, when henna was the paint of choice, and has been practiced for centuries on clowns, mimes, opera singers and actors. It's now become very popular for the technique to be used in advertisements and magazine editorials and covers (who could forget that Demi Moore Vanity Fair cover? shown below)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHhTjthNMpX0OpJBI0P7NkRlzvjou7C4keHgdrDEAr0K3q80Bm0ILy6IU7FZU-arm2vnuZV0IYJvTy2AK7-e_U2WhA19UwSfeGIX6jwAP6TPvfLC3rK61SxRpcwn3rs1Ih80bgpxHdMo/s1600-h/0308_makeupbooks-store_2040_5700481.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387832167671679314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHhTjthNMpX0OpJBI0P7NkRlzvjou7C4keHgdrDEAr0K3q80Bm0ILy6IU7FZU-arm2vnuZV0IYJvTy2AK7-e_U2WhA19UwSfeGIX6jwAP6TPvfLC3rK61SxRpcwn3rs1Ih80bgpxHdMo/s400/0308_makeupbooks-store_2040_5700481.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 412px; height: 504px;" /></a><br />above: Body makeup for Demi Moore's Vanity Fair cover by <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/10/super-sexy-body-painting-of-joanne-gair.html">Joanne Gair</a><br /><br />"Body painting is like a puzzle you are trying to work out on the human form," said Patrick Eichler, a senior makeup artist at MAC who led the team creating the peony qi pao, also known as a cheon gsam, on Ms. Ge. They practiced on her last week in a dress rehearsal for a body painting exhibition scheduled for tonight, marking the opening of New York Fashion Week. She is to be repainted today and appear with 11 other elaborately painted models in the show called "MAC Chinese Dress."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4wnOKWAfqd8GDTtEmmv9GYCrG0KPLC71arCHuTn4gOSTBYVkhxEJehkkMDX74BqL34WHgqQJHWMLnY1rfqFWOF-9YfXTdfgD4nN6AS_NlTBYBnXmDOZ8LxJc0pgnqbc5H76-yWgkpxNI/s1600-h/011807mac.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387796020593447762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4wnOKWAfqd8GDTtEmmv9GYCrG0KPLC71arCHuTn4gOSTBYVkhxEJehkkMDX74BqL34WHgqQJHWMLnY1rfqFWOF-9YfXTdfgD4nN6AS_NlTBYBnXmDOZ8LxJc0pgnqbc5H76-yWgkpxNI/s400/011807mac.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 466px; height: 328px;" /></a><br /><br />A few years later, the M.A.C. Cosmetics Chinese Dress Exhibition was shown at Nordstrom in San Francisco’s Westfield Shopping Centre. The body painting included the application of over 10,000 crystals as well. It was such a hit, the exhibition then toured various Nordstrom's in the US.<br /><br />I have images from the exhibitions in both Shanghai and the US, so you will notice that in some instances of the same design, the models vary as does the body makeup slightly.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNuwmdjVZqtYg7MXdcWvVe0GTV4klVICs0UqC27I2qgJzDVOKU5WetZaN2b9N7z3gPZZYLdgCrKT0YFShmEMT1GW5WfVw-6ckzID2dHdyqMWMfONrPLAHuS8ClfI4qX-Rua0hgA7gEIhM/s1600-h/xin_59100230103771811263.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387797394929048226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNuwmdjVZqtYg7MXdcWvVe0GTV4klVICs0UqC27I2qgJzDVOKU5WetZaN2b9N7z3gPZZYLdgCrKT0YFShmEMT1GW5WfVw-6ckzID2dHdyqMWMfONrPLAHuS8ClfI4qX-Rua0hgA7gEIhM/s400/xin_59100230103771811263.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

But you will be. Her third collection, a Ready-To-Wear line for Autumn and Winter 2009/10 is both unique and beautiful and sure to get her lots of attention.<br /><br />Before showing this amazing collection to you, I'm going to give you a little background and share with you some pieces from her AW 2008 introductory line as well as her SS 2008 line.<br /><br />In most instances, a designer's collection inspires fragrances or jewelry, but with Mary, it's the other way around.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vUJgNXaoHjQmTweD_5qbMrRyZuMywpNtRbbPuNN0tC_8BoNmE7Y5uVzK3X_5VM-Q_TPzYzItldw0YF1pNxpanqPfA0glMcDAzKnLqfxsvbwyD96niEMZ6LdWAJqJK-i6flkD0HSSghPj/s1600-h/Picture+4.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377996520675341554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vUJgNXaoHjQmTweD_5qbMrRyZuMywpNtRbbPuNN0tC_8BoNmE7Y5uVzK3X_5VM-Q_TPzYzItldw0YF1pNxpanqPfA0glMcDAzKnLqfxsvbwyD96niEMZ6LdWAJqJK-i6flkD0HSSghPj/s400/Picture+4.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 379px; height: 526px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">above: talented fashion designer Mary Katrantzou</span><br /><br />Born in Athens, and now working in London, Mary began her studies at the Rhode Island School of Design before transferring to Central Saint Martins where she received a BA in textile design and then continued there to complete her postgraduate work and receive a distinction in MA Fashion.<br /><br />The launch of her label began with her AW 2008 collection, which featured trompe l'oeil prints of oversized bold jewelry and as well as actual replicas of the jewelry pieces. Her first collection has won approval from Vogue and secured New Generation sponsorship at London Fashion Week in September. She’s even created a new fabric, a bonded jersey that’s soft yet strong enough to take digital trompe l’oeil prints.<br /><br />Here's a look at some pieces from her first AW 2008 collection and some pieces from her SS 2009 line:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZGbhGIODnGkA4Sr1HFKQT03d5A9vIW8ic1SiaYSHDTNNqLG7KJLlTraHdoZzL6LzPDsy4m96k8Gl-wm0_cYQpZxvoyjlBogxWJZldOffFMgf-WALOMtauuj7PZm4n-KH7jlSyEHhGRLoQ/s1600-h/Picture+21.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376627382866447042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZGbhGIODnGkA4Sr1HFKQT03d5A9vIW8ic1SiaYSHDTNNqLG7KJLlTraHdoZzL6LzPDsy4m96k8Gl-wm0_cYQpZxvoyjlBogxWJZldOffFMgf-WALOMtauuj7PZm4n-KH7jlSyEHhGRLoQ/s400/Picture+21.png" style="cursor: pointer;
