On Tuesday, September 16, Patbo showcased her Spring/Summer 2026 collection at Chelsea Industrial, entitled “Latin Soul.” To put this amazing show together, a lot of work was put in behind the scenes. Here’s everything that went into making ‘Latin Soul” come to life, from the nails to the makeup.
Nails
Nails this season were provided by Rave Nailz, founded by Braelinn. Two looks were used on the models: Rodeo French, a short nail with a French tip in a gorgeous brown color, and Glaze, a semi-sheer nude with a glossy top coat. These adorable press-on sets come in a trademarked coffin box created by Braelinn. The neutrality of the two nail designs perfectly complements the bright and bold patterns of PatBo’s collection, keeping the tone earthy while adding a slight pop of color.
Skincare
This season’s skincare sponsor was Epicutis, a clean skincare brand that focuses on keeping your skincare routine simple and transparent. According to the brand’s resident esthetician, Natasha, the Epicutis focuses on a luxurious experience while keeping the list of ingredients as simple as possible, while making sure anybody can use it, no matter their skin type. “Our skin needs consistency,” Natasha said. “What you’ll find throughout our entire product line is that we use consistent ingredients.” With the help of Treat Medspa, models were given a range of hydration products to prep their skin for their makeup.
Makeup
Morphe sponsored this season’s makeup for PatBo, so it’s no surprise that the team was headed by Morphe’s resident makeup artist, Olivia Madorma. Madorma let the fashion do the talking, opting for a natural look that emphasized the models’ natural features. By doing some soft contouring through adding just a bit of color to the eyes, cheeks, and lips, she truly let the clothes shine.
Lashes
To add to the makeup, lash sponsor ProLash used a new product of theirs, yet to be launched to the public. Brand founder Haley Chipman demonstrated how easy it is to apply their newest lashes, the lash wings. Simply use a mascara wand-type tool to brush the glue on your lashes, and use a pair of tweezers to secure them to your lashline. No matter how much you tug or rub, ProLash products will stay on for up to 10 days.
Hair
Celebrity hairstylist David Lopez embodied PatBo’s vision for “Latin Soul” by going with a wet hair look, whether the hair is gelled and slicked back or in a braided updo. Using products that made the hair look wet but actually kept it dry, Lopez achieved the perfect wet look while making the models look flawless. You can see the intricate detailing in the hair based on how precisely the hair was separated from the gel!
