Behind the Scenes with Hair and Makeup<\/em><\/h1>\n

Photography by Daniel Ware<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Mark your calendars for this year\u2019s Syracuse Fashion Week, slated for Thursday, April 26, through Sunday, April 29. Celebrate local style and fashion, all while supporting The Food Bank of CNY.<\/em><\/p>\n

We went behind the scenes with hair and makeup coordinator Shannon Fleming and members of her team to see how the magic happens.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hair Team<\/h2>\n

Shannon Fleming, hair & makeup coordinator
\nMarisa’s Fortress of Beauty<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

SWM: Talk about the experience of getting involved with SFW.<\/em>
\nShannon: I\u2019ve been the hair and makeup coordinator for SFW since we started five years ago. I felt the crew behind the scenes deserved more recognition, so, one of my roles has been to make sure Syracuse knows how much goes into getting the models ready for the runway.<\/p>\n

SWM: How do you balance SFW with your normal day-to-day?<\/em>
\nShannon: Balancing SFW and my normal day life isn\u2019t always easy, but it\u2019s absolutely worth it. Not only do we donate our proceeds to The Food Bank of CNY, but it\u2019s an outlet to let my creative mind run wild.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s the biggest challenge you\u2019ve faced with SFW?<\/em>
\nShannon: My biggest challenge has been trying to organize a crew of more than 30 girls for hair and makeup, while trying to coordinate with each designer for all four shows. I strive to make the designers\u2019 visions come to life, but it\u2019s sometimes difficult with shared models. Thankfully, I now have Julianna Pastella as my sidekick, so this year will run even more smoothly than the last.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s your favorite memory from SFW?<\/em>
\nShannon: I have many favorite memories, but I\u2019d have to say it was hysterical when our musician lit sage at The Underground Show and the fire alarm went off. This is our risqu\u00e9 show, so we had women in lingerie and body-painted bartenders running out the door. The look on the firemen\u2019s faces was priceless.<\/p>\n

Michelle Rath
\nIndustry Salon<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

SWM: Describe the craziest hair you\u2019ve ever done for SFW. <\/em>
\nMichelle: For me, it\u2019s about creating something beautiful and eye-catching, almost like a piece of art. People see our artwork going down the runway.<\/p>\n

SWM: We\u2019d guess your typical workday doesn\u2019t present the same time constraints as SFW. How do you deal with those time constraints during SFW?<\/em>
\nMichelle: Actually, I\u2019m used to a fast-paced, crazy environment. There\u2019s not a day I\u2019m not booked solid and doing more than one client at a time. So, my everyday life has trained me in multitasking and time management, must-haves for SFW.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s your favorite SFW memory?<\/em>
\nMichelle: There have been so many, I can\u2019t pick one. Every year is a new, fun and exciting experience. I\u2019m just so thankful to be part of it, with so many talented artists.<\/p>\n

Shanique Lee
\nThe Glam Room<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>SWM: Do you have a favorite style of fashion to collaborate with for SFW? <\/em>
\nShanique: I love working with all of the different styles you see at SFW, my favorite being formal, bridal and evening wear collections.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s the craziest hairstyle you\u2019ve ever done on a model for SFW? <\/em>
\nShanique: The craziest creations happen at Syracuse Snarl [in October], actually. Glitter, leaves, lights and beads. All of the creativity comes out when the runway is Halloween-themed!<\/p>\n

SWM: What SFW event are you most looking forward to this year? <\/em>
\nShanique: It\u2019s so hard to choose. I\u2019m looking forward to all of the SFW events, especially Local Love at Hotel Syracuse!<\/p>\n

Makeup Team<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Julianna Pastella, hair & makeup coordinator
\nPastel Makeup + Style<\/h3>\n

SWM: Describe the craziest makeup you\u2019ve ever done for SFW.<\/em>
\nJulianna: The Underground Show is hands-down the best makeup night. The makeup is always sultry, colorful, playful and incredibly creative, with body painting, bedazzled faces and glitter literally everywhere imaginable.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s your favorite memory from SFW?<\/em>
\nJulianna: I will always remember the night I got home from the first night\u2019s show my second year in. The feeling of being part of a community that is collaborating in such a tremendous way brought a rush of acceptance and appreciation.<\/p>\n

SWM: What are you most excited about this year?<\/em>
\nJulianna: I\u2019m excited to see how we\u2019ve grown! We\u2019ve all been working really hard and I can\u2019t wait to see how we elevated this upcoming spring.<\/p>\n

Ashley Hansen
\nAshley Hansen\u2019s Beauty Nation<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>SWM: How long does it typically take to do makeup for one model?<\/em>
\nAshley: Due to the volume of people we need to get through, we try to keep the time per model down to 15 to 25 minutes each. Every designer and retailer has a different style in mind; sometimes we luck out and get to keep it natural for one group, leaving us more time for more time-demanding styles with a different designer. We make it work.<\/p>\n

SWM: What’s the craziest memory you have from SFW?<\/em>
\nAshley: I was full-body airbrushing a nude model when the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. We tried to cover her as best we could \u2014 but, wow, that was a high-stress situation. Our time to finish was limited, but she looked beautiful. That\u2019s a common theme of the SFW crew \u2014 throw us in a situation and, no matter the details, we will make it work.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s your favorite part of being involved with SFW?<\/em>
\nAshley: My personal favorite part is the camaraderie between stylists, designers, models, coordinators and photographers. We get to come together every year and flex our creative muscles together to create something truly magnificent.<\/p>\n

Rachael Keresey
\nMarney and Co.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>SWM: What SFW event is unmissable this year? Why?<\/em>
\nRachael: I\u2019d say people shouldn\u2019t miss The Underground Show, because it\u2019s my personal favorite. But, honestly, if they attend any of them and support their local community, that would be awesome, too!<\/p>\n

SWM: Do you have a favorite style of fashion to collaborate with for SFW?<\/em>
\nRachael: I love all the fashions that come down the runway. I just love art and get inspired by everything I see.<\/p>\n

SWM: What\u2019s your favorite aspect of SFW?<\/em>
\nRachael: Getting to work and collaborate with all the makeup artists and stylists \u2014 especially the crazy ideas we don\u2019t get to create on a daily basis in the salon. This event gives us an opportunity to let loose and have fun, all while raising money for a great cause. SWM<\/em><\/p>\n
