Backstage at Proenza Schouler's Fall 2011 fashion show at New York Fashion week, the models had a very natural, undone-chic look with monochrome makeup, naked nails and long locks that were both polished and unkempt.

HAIR: Paul Hanlon for Frédéric Fekkai

For the Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 collection, designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez drew inspiration from the American West, with Aztec patterns and an earthy color palette of blues, greens and oranges.

The makeup was minimal and natural with warm skin tones, contoured cheeks and strong brows. "They were really influenced by Native American fabric, the weaves, the colors and just that kind of environment so they wanted all that to be in the face," Diane Kendal explained to StyleList.

Lead hairstylist Paul Hanlon was inspired by the strong center parts and tight braids worn by young Native American girls, but gave the look a decidedly modern spin with a slightly off-center part and an almost-braid that turns into a big flowing knot. "The idea is very groomed hair from the front, almost this kind of purity, and then it's this kind of disheveled mess," he explained the StyleList. "Braids can look very gimmicky, the fallen out messy pony makes it look more like a girl on the street."

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by MAC Cosmetics. Prep the skin with Mineralize All-Over Lotion and Studio Sculpt Foundation. Contour the cheeks with Sculpt Cream in peach and taupe and Cream Colour Base in Seaside. Fill in the brows with a matching eye shadow to give the illusion of thickness and line the eyes with a Lip Pencil in Stone. Apply a conditioner to the lips and some foundation.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All products by Frédéric Fekkai. Part the hair slightly off center and apply Strong Hold Volume Mousse to the front of the hair, from the start of the part to just below the ears. Apply Anti Frizz Silkening Creme and Color Care Anti-Fade Top Coat and iron the front pieces to seal in a shimmer. Pull the hair back into a low ponytail and tie the end into a slight knot. Spray Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray heavily to diffuse the hair. Finish with Sheer Hold Hairspray.
