Marc Jacobs Nail Art at New York Fashion Week F/W24
This season, CND teamed up with renowned manicurist JinSoon to curate stunning nail designs for Marc Jacobs’ runway at New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024. Drawing inspiration from papercut dolls and the unforgettable style of Diana Ross, these nails encapsulate creativity: think big hair, dramatic eyelashes, and unexpectedly bold yet glossy nails.
The Inspiration Behind the Look
JinSoon shared her vision, stating, “Inspired by Diana Ross and the unique concept of papercut dolls, the goal was to blend bold style elements with sleek, neutral nails.” The nail palette focused on barely-there hues such as CND’s Bare Chemise, Field Fox, and Satin Pajamas to maintain a clean and sophisticated appearance, complementing the striking hair and makeup looks.
