THE SCOOP: Inspired by a South African tribe that loves bright colors and geometric patterns, the Vena Cava designers sought to brighten their clothing with pops of color. Lips went cool with a slash of purple lipstick, while the nails shocked in electric blue with short, neat manicures. For hair, it was business up front, party in the back with a messy, irreverent bun. "We wanted something cool, mod and hip -- not too girlie," said Gibson. "This look has duality - it's slick and sophisticated up front, but messy and textured in back.
