Charlotte Ronson & Friends

Beauty Intelligence

I've always adored Charlotte Ronson's pieces! They're chic and feminine, but also totally wearable. And this season was no different; at today's show, I was loving every single look! "The inspiration was kind of like mid-'80s, early '90s music—you know that girl who goes to cool rock shows who's like real feminine but also cool," says Ronson.

If there's one fashionista who fits Ronson's runway character it's Cory Kennedy, superstar blogger/Sebastian Professional spokesgirl/Charlotte Ronson fan...

"I'm a very big fan and friend of Charlotte's and I'm just so happy for her," says Kennedy. "I love the texture [of the new collection]. She's definitely exploring this whole new place with texture—and just the way the clothes are fitting. They're just more loose and more elegant in a sense."

While we were talking about texture, I couldn't help but notice how brilliantly texturized Cory's hair was! So I told her so—and asked how the heck she got her hair to do what it did. "I put dry shampoo in it," says Kennedy. "Usually I use Sebastian's Whipped Cream. Always, always, always—but I literally jumped out of bed and came here. But the Whipped Cream—you can eat it. No, no... [laughs]. You can literally do very tight updos and it holds. And then you can just be playful and versatile. It's super light and it's amazing. It's really for anything you want to do. It's like magic. And it really does smell good...".

So what composed Cory's morning ensemble? "My shirt is Charlotte Ronson—it's from her collection. And my jeans are Ksubi, [my shoes] are Doc Martens, and my bag is Jeremy Scott [for Longchamp]," she reveals.

Other celebrity fans of Charlotte Ronson's include siblings Samantha and Mark, her cousin Annabelle, and Lindsay Lohan—all of whom were present for the show. In fact, Annabelle walked the runway and Mark DJ-ed the event! But other stars made an appearance too. Like, for example, Gossip Girl`s Jessica Szohr, who sat next to her friend, supermodel Jessica Stam: "I really like the shirt that Jessica has on—that was on [the runway]," says Szohr. "And I like that all the dresses had t-shirts underneath so that it's kind of grungy and low-key."
