Achieving Glass Skin
Achieving glass skin is hard to achieve, so here’s my tips on how to make your skin look flawless, smooth, and yes “like” glass. First step for my queens is skin prep! Exfoliate the skin, then apply Peach & Lily Glass Skin Serum all over (rated 5 stars for top refining serum). Step 2- Apply Clarins Extra Firming Serum, this is spanx for the face ladies, it instantly firms & visibly tightens. I am obsessed! Step 3- Our goal is to keep the skin natural in order to achieve that “glass skin”. So we need to go in with a tinted moisturizer (CC cream or BB cream) if you have clear skin, or for a full coverage foundation we want to aim for Dewy finish, matte has got to go. Many have heard of the term “baking” the skin that is a term used for applying powder to create a more mattified look. In this case, dewy skin and powder do not mix. In fact the goal is to plump the skin and give it that sun kissed natural glow. To set the look, we are going to add the Peach and Lily Glass Veil Mist. This product will drown in your skin in hydration like a big glass of water.. It’s that good ladies.
Last Step to Glass Skin
The last step ladies is very important so stay with me! This is the home run to glass skin, apply 2-3 drops of Josie Maran Argan Oil – rub it into your hands to warm up the product then gently pat it on your cheeks and forehead two times and you’re done, and don’t forget the plump lips ladies. My favorite product for lip plumping is by Too Faced Cosmetics, they are available in multi-shades rated five stars . These are all my hidden gems and techniques to achieve the “Glass Skin” look. Thank you with all my heart to 4Chion Lifestyle for another year at the Oscars®.

Kyle Denman’s latest design inspiration is a woman spilling her champagne awarded him Young Designer at Fashion Designers’ and Craft Makers’ Network (FDC-YDA) Soiree in New York City. He is a young fashion designer that is passionate, creative, and determined. He took the theme Rolling Twenties to create a timeless classic modern gown.
Kyle Denman’s Gown FDC Young Designer Recipient NYC
Designing
The gown took the theme and champagne significant during the 1920s to create a look of spilling champagne. The theme and gown bring the relevance and fashion forward. The gold bust is made from vegan leather. This look takes on the color of freshly poured champagne. This brings a richness and elegance. Taking the flapper texture to a new modern look. The 30 yards of organza is hand sewn to create the bubbles from the spilling champagne. This creation is ébullition (French for bubbling). The small hand-sewn pearls give a nice texture and representation of smaller bubbles in champagne. This is an elegant avant-garde gown bringing the theme full circle.
Kyle Denman FDC Young Designer Awards NYC
Where Fashion Design Started
Denman changed his life career from a degree in political science to fashion. He was new to sewing, but that did not stop him from changing his career. He is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and an associate professor at FIDM. Project Runway awarded Denman grand prize in the ReMake It Work Contest.
His approach to design is sensual, sexy, modern, with a hint of classic remaining. The woman he designs for feels beautiful, powerful, and elegant. He is a powerhouse that will be one of the top designers in America.
Kyle Denman and Model at FDC Young Designer Awards NYC
Balancing Life with Health and Wellness
He works hard on success every day. The one thing he does each day to make it successful is, “Every morning, I wake up and have a cup of coffee while I journal. Journaling is incredibly important for me to collect all of my thoughts, both intellectual and creative. I will write, sketch, and list things and people for which I am grateful. This helps me stay humble and helps me recognize the important people in my life who have helped me get to where I am today. I also pick an outfit that matches the mood I want to have. I have studied a bit about the metaphysics of fashion, and it’s really astounding. I also like to accessorize my look with a watch, which is my go-to accessory. Once I have that on, I am ready for the day!” His has a dedication to staying focused and balanced in life.
Balancing life with the stress of the fashion industry is key to keeping the focus. Denman finds balance by, “Fashion design is an incredibly personal form of art. Whenever I make a garment or a collection, I really invest my time and inject a bit of myself, my mind, and my heart into it. I try to tell a story. I think that’s what makes fashion so profound—it is so personal. Because of the work, I do as a teacher, the confluence of work and personal life is incredibly dramatic. In order to balance these two areas, I try to organize myself as much as possible. I have a to-do list with me at all times, and my planner is color-coated and matches a calendar that I have in my room. I try to never have free time, either. Instead, time is always dedicated towards something, even if it means time to relax or time to spend with friends. I also think maintaining a stress-free life is a mindset. Rather than think that I am busy and stressed, I think that I am hard-at-work and focused on my career.” This shows in his ability to stay well-rounded as a step to staying healthy in a busy life.
Denman focuses on healthy living with a focus on his mental health. He states, “Fashion design is an incredibly stressful field. Staying healthy can be very difficult to do—oftentimes, I will leave my apartment as soon as the sun rises and will not return until after midnight. The industry is long days. Because my schedule is so busy, I try to stay healthy by staying mentally healthy as well as physically healthy. Besides exercising (my friend trains me here-and-there and helps record my progress). I will often read books or scholarly articles, listen to podcasts or TED Talks, or visit museums on free days to continuously stimulate my mind. Additionally, I try to eat as healthy as possible. Sometimes, it may just be some packed vegetables and hummus for lunch because of my schedule, but I really try to keep up a healthy lifestyle. However, I know that I can always be healthier (I just love baking homemade chocolate chip cookies!).”
Kyle Denman ReMake It Work Contest Project Runway
Achievements
He approaches life and success with a strong force and determination. His best achievement to date is, “receiving the title of Young Fashion Designer of the Year is an incredible achievement. Truly, it is an honor. It was also amazing to be recognized as the Grand Prize Winner of the Project Runway Remake It Work Contest. However, I would also consider being a teacher an achievement that I hold very close to my heart. I now teach fashion design through a nonprofit called Freedom and Fashion. I teach young women who are survivors of human trafficking, homelessness, abuse, assault, and other injustices. These young students and designers are so special to me, and being able to spend time with them is an achievement to me—they are so talented and are so kind. It’s really an honor to be in their presence and call them students and friends. I love watching them grow as designers and as people; I can honestly say my heart is so full when I am with them.” He brings his skill, energy, and power to other providing future opportunities for many.
Future Goals
I would love to continue designing for celebrity clients and entering fashion shows around the world. Being able to witness the transformation of a garment or a collection is really special. From idea to sketch to sample to completed look, the transformative appeal of fashion is undeniable. To have the ability to be so creative is amazing, and I feel incredibly lucky to have the chance to be so creative every day. I hope to expand upon this creativity, continue to work hard and working with Freedom and Fashion. A long-term dream of mine has always been to work on Dancing with the Starsas one of the designers.
FDC-YDA
The young designers are ages 9-25 years. The vision is to present an international platform for dynamic young designers. This is to help them to find their niche as people and become a brand in their own right. Increasing the numbers and visibility of young and exceptionally gifted multi-cultural designers. Then encourage them to reach their true potential, by rewarding those who excel both creatively and academically.
Watch for Denman on the runway he is a force that will bring fashion forward with a classic women designs.

The Lament for Icarus, a painting Icarus representing being wrapped in love by Nymphs on his deathbed, is well represented in the collection at New York Fashion Week. Many fabrics and designs create a movement that is enveloping or flows with that dramatic effect.
The fabric prints and the appliques are representative of a beautiful spring day. The fabric print is perfectly designed to create a scene with the sense of a morning breeze with the movement. Mason Grammer looks stunning on the runway in off the shoulder gown. The movement and scenery much like a walk through nature near a creek.

The menswear collection inspiration continues with blues found throughout. Blue is a pigment that is the rarest found in nature, the men’s collection draws in the night-time with hints of blues. The romance period from Chopin is clear in the collars on the jacket and dress shirts.
This is a collection for all with a touch of romance from the Chopin era, beautiful natural scenery, and movement, and will wrap the world in love.

Being here with Breton is so glamorous at Style Fashion Week with the beautiful outdoor setting and jazz music.”
Breton develops his menswear after his own experience. He states, “when I was a ballet dancer in London and on Broadway every time I lifted my arm up when wearing a suit I would lose part of my sleeve. I knew I had to figure out how to cut a suit so I do not lose part of my sleeve. I trained at Turnbull And Asser, the suit makers for the Prince of Wales. He says, “I incorporate the English traditions in my designs. I learned there with my development for the men’s suits.”
The fashion show stayed true to the designers’ aesthetic while completing the story started in New York. The beauty, tailoring, and signature detailing tell the story of hope, equality, and empowerment. Concluding with the image of renewing and shining wherever you are.
