The Barneys New York department store in San Francisco teamed up with Bay Area non-profit the Tipping Point Community to host a fashionable evening that included appearances by designers Juan Carlos Obando and Irene Neuwirth as well as makeup artist Troy Surratt on Wednesday, April 9, in Union Square. Guests gathered to celebrate the Tipping Point’s upcoming May 8th benefit, and Obando and Neuwirth joined Surratt to talk about spring trends and the exclusive pieces each designed for the event’s raffle. Neuwirth’s fine jewelry available in her signature ocean-inspired palette was complemented by the bold cobalt, turquoise and sea-foam green sequins of Obando’s glam pajama sets and halter gowns. Obando even created Neuwirth’s look for the evening. “Irene likes crop tops, so for tonight I made her one,” he said. A longtime friend of the acclaimed jewelry designer, Obando created the custom outfit three days prior to the party. The designers said they plan to travel to Greece together later this summer, and the look, along with each of their spring collections seemed ideal for the journey.
Surratt, founder of his eponymous cosmetics line was inspired by international travels of his own when creating his latest collection. “Tokyo has so many levels of makeup that we don’t have here in the U.S.,” said Surratt who has frequented the Far East for over a decade. “Whether it’s the drama of kabuki or the rituals of the geisha, there’s a completely different level of product innovation and creativity.” Surratt’s line includes compacts with silk screens to protect loose powder and a liquid liner modeled after Japanese calligraphy brushes. Surratt favors bright orange lip color for spring. “I feel like orange is the unsung hero of beauty. It’s bold, it’s warm…the perfect color for the season.” Surratt’s Automatique Lip Crayon in P.O.C. (short for Pop of Color) was an option that guests could pair with Neuwirth’s jewels and Obando’s gowns during the evening of shopping that benefited Tipping Point.
