Last night’s hysterical launch of Heatherette’s makeup line brought a lot of cotton candy, a great streak of Teyana Taylor (who is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous in person), too much glitter (who’s surprised?), and one bit of sad news:
Heatherette’s technical designer, Macky Dugan, is going out on his own.
The New Zealand native, who came to Heatherette almost five years ago, is opening his own studio (well, actually sharing a studio with super-cool designer Sue Stemp) and starting a new collection of clothing called “Macky Dugan” – which, we suppose, is better than Mackarette.
His contributions to the brand won’t be forgotten – Richie and Traver have been pretty constant with their praise of the cute blondie (left) and how his technical expertise helped the label build more sophisticated shapes and complicated patterns – plus that infamous paper pineapple dress as seen on Lydia Hearst last year.
“I’m doing menswear,” he told us, but when we pouted, he quickly amended it to “Unisex! Unisex!”
We wonder if those tuxedo jackets will come with purple sequins (please?).
