The 5 Biggest Beauty Trends of New York Fashion Week, From Watercolor Eyes to Shimmering Metallics

Fashion Month has officially kicked off—just as it always does—in New York, where the city’s runways set the stage for the season. And there’s just something about spring that brings a fresh, exhilarating energy. On the beauty front, the usual suspects set the mood for spring/summer 2026, but with a twist: At Collina Strada and Ulla Johnson, eyes were awash in ethereal pastel hues, while at Khaite and Tory Burch, glossy, slicked hair signaled rawness and rebirth. Injecting edge into nature’s fresh start is the ’90s, reigning once again with moody browns inspiring evocative eye and lip moments at Grace Ling and Proenza Schouler. Elsewhere, chromatic touches—from gold foil lips at Luar to prismatic glitter washes at Diotima—brought head-turning drama.
In New York, watercolor-like washes swept across faces, creating a soft, dream-like effect. It began at Collina Strada, where makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench applied whisper-light pressings of iridescent pink, blue, and gold shadows, blended in a delicate C-shape from lids to undereyes. Other standout moments followed: at Anna Sui, Pat McGrath teased a forthcoming eye launch with “desert skies at twilight” eyes in shades of blue and purple, complete with sky-blue lashes. At Ulla Johnson, Romy Soleimani, drawing inspiration from Helen Frankenthaler’s Western Dreams, veiled eyes in ethereal tones of gold, rose, and powder blue (in Sisley Phyto shades Glow Gold, Bois de Rose, and Silky Sky). Finally, at Sandy Liang, Charlie Riddle gave models painterly lips using Stila Convertible Color in Lilium, Peony, Camellia, and Petunia, blending out the edges for a soft-focus feel.
From hyper-slicked to windswept, wet-look hair returns every spring, embodying freshness and the spirit of renewal. At Khaite, hair legend Guido Palau swept model lengths into high-shine slick backs, with hair trailing down the back for a “structural silhouette that also felt airy and achievable.” He used the TRESemmé Extra Hold Mousse and A-List Collection Workable Hairspray from root to ends before molding the sloped shape. At Tory Burch, hair was slicked and side-swept, with feathery, face-framing pieces adding a cool wispiness.
The Dyatlov Pass of America? The Unsolved Deaths on Alaska’s ‘Dead Mountain
The Dyatlov Pass case in the Ural Mountains of Russia remains one of the most chilling, bizarre, and debated mysteries of the 20th century: nine hikers, an abrupt departure from their tent, strange injuries, missing eyes, clothing anomalies, and a whole host of speculative theories.
It’s natural to wonder whether something similar has ever happened in the American wilderness — especially in Alaska, where rugged terrain, extreme weather, remote locations, and often incomplete records sometimes combine to create deadly mystery. While there is no exact duplicate of the Dyatlov Pass incident in Alaska, there are cases and features that echo parts of the mystery. Let’s examine what might compare, what is known, what remains unknown, and whether we should consider Alaska’s mountains a “Dead Mountain” of American lore.
A Hypothetical “Dead Mountain” in Alaska: What It Would Look Like
If Alaska had an incident that paralleled Dyatlov Pass almost exactly, you might expect:
A group of experienced outdoors people setting out in reasonable condition.
A situation in which they were camped in the wilderness, and forced by some fear or external event to abandon shelter in harsh conditions.
Bodies found far from the shelter, underdressed or missing equipment, perhaps injuries inconsistent with only freezing (e.g. blunt trauma, fractures) or show signs of disorientation.
Some odd detail: missing items, injuries that don’t match simple hypothermia, unexplained weather anomalies, perhaps infrasound, etc.
Conclusion: Alaska’s “Dead Mountain” — Real, but Different
Alaska certainly has its share of wilderness tragedies, disappearances, and unsolved mysteries. But so far, none match exactly the wild and unsettling confluence of unknowns that make Dyatlov Pass a cultural phenomenon.
“Dead Mountain” in Russia is almost mythic partly because of how anomalous many of its details are — many things defy simple natural explanations — and because its artifacts, photos, testimonies have inspired endless speculation.
In Alaska, the mysteries tend to stay closer to nature’s known hazards — avalanches, falls, exposure, weather, navigation errors. The lessons are serious but less exotic. That doesn’t make them less sad — human lives are lost — but perhaps less mystery-rich.
Flight 19: The Bermuda Triangle’s Most Famous Disappearance
Few mysteries of the 20th century have captured public imagination quite like the Bermuda Triangle — and at the heart of it lies the story of Flight 19. This vanished squadron of U.S. Navy planes remains one of the most famous unsolved disappearances in aviation history.
The Training Mission That Never Returned
On December 5, 1945, five Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers took off from the U.S. Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The flight, known as Flight 19, was a routine training mission with 14 airmen on board, led by experienced pilot Lt. Charles C. Taylor.
Their route was a triangular circuit over the Atlantic and back — a flight plan considered straightforward and well-practiced.
Trouble Over the Atlantic
Shortly into the mission, radio transmissions indicated the pilots were confused about their location. Navigation errors began to multiply. Compass malfunctions were reported, and weather conditions worsened. Taylor’s increasingly frantic messages painted a picture of disorientation: he believed they were off course over the Florida Keys rather than near the Bahamas.
The last known communication suggested the planes were running low on fuel and preparing for a potential water landing.
The Rescue Plane That Also Vanished
When Flight 19 failed to return, the Navy dispatched a PBM Mariner seaplane with 13 crew members to search the area. Incredibly, that rescue plane also disappeared without a trace, likely due to an onboard fuel explosion, though no wreckage was ever confirmed.
How Flight 19 Cemented the Bermuda Triangle Legend
Although ships and planes had gone missing in the region before, Flight 19’s disappearance — combined with the loss of the rescue plane — captured public attention like never before. In the 1950s and 1960s, the term “Bermuda Triangle” gained popularity, and Flight 19 became a cornerstone of the legend.
Legacy
Today, Flight 19 symbolizes both the dangers of military aviation and the enduring allure of unsolved mysteries. Memorials in Florida honor the lost airmen, while historians, divers, and conspiracy theorists alike continue to investigate the case.
Nearly 80 years later, the story of Flight 19 still embodies the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle — a story of routine duty turned into one of history’s most puzzling disappearances.
Inside Europe’s Ultra-Secure Vaults: Where the Super-Rich Store Their Treasures
In an age where billionaires can buy private islands and priceless art, one question looms: where do they keep their most valuable possessions? The answer lies deep underground, inside some of Europe’s most secure, high-tech vaults — facilities designed not just to store wealth, but to protect it from every conceivable threat.
Beyond Banks: The Rise of Private Vaults
Traditional bank safety deposit boxes have long been a mainstay of asset protection. But with stricter regulations, limited insurance, and growing privacy concerns, the ultra-wealthy are increasingly turning to private vault facilities. These independent vaults operate outside the banking system, often in discreet, fortified locations.
What’s Inside?
While the contents are strictly confidential, insiders say such vaults hold everything from rare art, precious metals, and diamonds to cryptocurrency hardware wallets, confidential documents, and even luxury watches or wine collections.
Each storage space can be customized — from small boxes to full-scale private rooms — depending on the client’s needs.
Security on Another Level
These vaults are built like fortresses. Security features often include:
Reinforced steel doors several feet thick
Biometric access controls, including fingerprint and iris scanners
24/7 surveillance with AI monitoring
Armed response teams
Independent fire and flood protection systems
Some vaults are located inside mountains or underground bunkers originally built for military use, providing an extra layer of secrecy.
Privacy Is Paramount
One of the biggest draws of these facilities is discretion. Clients often enter through anonymous lobbies or private entrances, and their identities are kept confidential. Transactions can sometimes be done in total privacy, away from the scrutiny of governments or financial institutions.
Why the Demand Is Growing
Geopolitical tensions, inflation, and economic uncertainty are pushing wealthy individuals to safeguard their assets in physical form. High-value items stored in a secure, politically stable country can offer peace of mind that bank accounts or digital holdings sometimes cannot.
A Glimpse Inside
While the average person may never set foot inside such a vault, occasional media reports and rare photos offer a glimpse: gleaming steel corridors, high-tech control rooms, and vault doors reminiscent of a Hollywood heist film. These facilities are more than just storage — they’re the modern equivalent of medieval treasure chambers, blending cutting-edge security with old-world secrecy.
Final Thoughts
Europe’s ultra-secure vaults represent the pinnacle of private asset protection. They’re a world apart from ordinary bank safes, catering to a clientele for whom privacy and security are non-negotiable. As global uncertainty continues, these underground fortresses will likely remain the ultimate sanctuary for the treasures of the ultra-rich.
