The event, which kicked off New York Fashion Week, was designed to raise awareness for the need to use environmentally friendly and sustainable materials in the fashion industry. The show was sponsored by Pure &amp;amp; Natural and it featured designs by some of my favorite designers including Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Thakoon, and Prada. As a beauty intern I actually had the chance to go backstage before the show and interview the hairstylists and make-up artists working on the show and well as a few of the models!\n\nThe first part of the event was a press briefing which was hosted by Nancy O'Dell from Access Hollywood, and which featured four former Project Runway designers. The Project Runway vets were there to announce their upcoming collaboration with Pure &amp;amp; Natural in which each of them will design a handbag using Pure &amp;amp; Natural's biodegradable bar soap packing. Anything that combines accessories and going green sounds good to me!\n\nAfter the press briefing I headed backstage to do the interviews, but first I had to battle my way past an unfriendly PR woman (think Samantha Jones from Sex and the City but way meaner!). Once I was finally backstage, I watched hairstylist, Recine work his magic on several models' hair, before chatting with him for a quick moment about the look he was going for. He explained to me that he had chosen \"an organic knot\" because he wanted something that looked \"very natural and easy and less done by hairdressers.\" You can see the sleek bun below on model Liya Kebede. My favorite part of the hairstyle is that instead of using bobby pins to secure the knot, the model's hair is actually sewn down!\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nAs well as some of the products that were used: [\n\n](http://blog.teenvogue.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/11/sally3.jpg)\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nNaturally I headed back to the Teen Vogue office with a huge smile on my face!\n\n--Sally Lauckner"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
