The Helen Castillo New York Spring / Summer 2018 runway show presented by Chapstick during Kia STYLE360 NYFW took place on September 12th at Metropolitan West. The Spring / Summer 2018 is inspired by a clash between Grace Kelly and Speed Racer. The collection includes a mix of Victorian details, modern romance and elegance, with pleating and sequin detailing. The palette includes soft tones of baby blue, blush, grey and pops of chrome blue and citrine. 

Castillo partnered with Cape Robbin shoes to complete the looks including crystal-beaded and pearl-adorned heels, fishnet booties, and thigh high boots in blush and silver chrome. Earrings featured in the show are by Anita Berisha jewelry. Hair and makeup were provided by Not Your Mother's and James Vincent.

Not Your Mother's created the hair looks for Helen Castillo New York Spring / Summer 2018 presented by Chapstick, at Kia STYLE360. The hair look centered on a finger wave design on the forehead, and no hair part. The rest of the hair is curled and combed out once the hair has cooled, for a more glam effect in the back of the hair for a Grace Kelly inspired look.
