Turk, a favorite of fashion industry insiders as well as Upper East Side teenagers going in for their first cut, is renowned for his nose work. But he's equally enthused by treatments that can be done outside the operating room. As the golden tans of summer fade, we asked him about how best to tackle sun damage, as well as his secret life as a TV star.

What's the worst thing someone can do to their face over the summer?
Go to a bad plastic surgeon, especially in New York! Really, though, in this day and age there's no excuse for not protecting the skin in the sun, from an antiaging point of view and also, of course, from a skin cancer point of view. If you look at older people who have fantastic skin, those are the people who sat under umbrellas and wore hats.

When it comes to correcting sun damage, what's the one device you can't live without?
I think you have to do something in an ongoing way to maintain that battle against the sun and time. Our HydraFacials, which help to evacuate a lot of debris in skin and build back collagen, precede anything else that we do. We restore people over the fall and winter with Cosmelan, an eight-hour mask that addresses pigmentation caused by sun damage, fine wrinkling and especially the tone and texture of the skin. It can be used on people with literally any skin type. We will send our aesthetician to patient's apartments or hotel rooms or it can be done in the office and then you just jump in a cab.

What device or technique would you invent if you could?
I've always dreamed about scarless healing. You could simplify and really improve the results of facial and cosmetic surgery to the point of near perfection.

What's the most sage advice you give to patients?
More is not always better. I always tell people, 'If the rest of the world knows you did something, it defeats the whole purpose.'

We hear you have quite an illustrious claim to fame.
The character on the hit TV show Scrubs is named Dr. Turk. My best friend from Amherst became an agent, and his client Bill Lawrence created the show and enlisted me to be an advisor and get things off the ground. Right before they aired the pilot they sent me a release which I thought was something standard but it turns out they were asking if they could use my name for the surgical character. My kids used to run into the room so they could hear 'Dr. Turk to the emergency room.' I've been an advisor for 11 years. I was in an episode three years ago, eight seconds walking across the lobby of the hospital. I hope it's not the end of my Hollywood career.

Gone are the times when the only thing on the bottom of your shoe was a piece of discarded chewing gum; these days the decorations on the sole of your heels are just as important as the top and sides. Whether they be swathed in deep red like Christian Louboutin’s or covered in Swarovski crystal dust like Rene Caovillo’s red-carpet-ready heels, soles are new the canvas on which a brand paints its unique signature. The latest bedecked sole comes from shoe designer Cesare Paciotti who has outfitted his Spring/Summer 2011 shoes with a nude sole printed with a black lace design. Like a brief flash of lace lingerie, the effect is flirtatious and fun.

Colorist Marie Robinson earned her stripes at Bumble and bumble, John Frieda, and most recently, Sally Hershberger Downtown. In case you’ve been under a hair dryer for the past six months, she created plenty of drama there by poaching most of the staff in order to open an eponymous salon in New York’s Flatiron District, where, she tends to the locks of Sienna Miller, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Williams.

How did you get into this business?
My grandmother saw that I liked to work with my hands. We didn’t have a lot of money, so she thought I should find a job right away. A week after high school graduation, I was in beauty school.

What do you love most about your job?
The challenge. There’s such a rush when you deliver something special that people really want, even if it’s something silly like hair color. What celebrity’s hair color is most requested? Since Sex and the City 2 came out, a lot of people are looking at Sarah Jessica Parker’s color again, because it’s a little bit more caramel-y and golden. For a more natural highlighted blond, I get a lot of Sienna [Miller]. She’s a good represenation of the whole beachy feel without that kind of “extreme root” going on.

Do you always think about how you’d color random people’s hair?
Not when I’m walking down the street, but if I’m sitting on a plane or in a restaurant, I tend to do that. I have never approached anyone, because what if they’re really happy with what they have?

How many different colors has your own hair been?
Probably every single color—until I became completely satisfied with being a bleached blond, which has been about four years now. I get it done every four weeks. My colorist worked at another salon and I loved him, so I made him come here!

Once makeup artist Kirsten Kjær Weis decided to create an organic line, her biggest challenge wasn’t what went into her formulations but what housed them. “I wanted recyclable packaging, but it always looks cheap,” the Danish native says with a sigh. So she went in the opposite direction, turning to designer Marc Atlan—who has created fragrance bottles for Comme des Garçons and Helmut Lang—to work on her collectible metal and enamel casings, which are meant to last a lifetime. If only the eye shadows, blushes, and lip tints of the Kjær Weis line were as permanent. “When you’re working with raw materials, every batch is different,” says Kjær Weis. “I’m constantly adjusting.” Available at Space NK.

In the five years that they’ve been delivering megahit collections, Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy have amassed a slew of celebrity followers, received two Council of Fashion Designers of America awards, and been the subjects of a Cooper-Hewitt exhibit. Next up: a coffee-table book, titled Rodarte, Catherine Opie, Alec Soth, for which the siblings tapped the two photographers to shoot, respectively, their favorite collection pieces and California locales. Opie snapped models (Guinevere van Seenus, Frankie Rayder), tattoo artists, and a UCLA grad student wearing the clothes. Soth, meanwhile, trekked across the Golden State, capturing everything from condor eggs to a shady punk club. “You have two different viewpoints,” says Laura. “One from a person seeing the landscapes we’ve loved, and another interpreting the clothing we’ve made. They’re of the same world.”

Designer Jérôme Dreyfuss (who’s married to the superchic Isabel Marant) gives all of his handbags classic male French monikers like Luc, Thierry, and Lucien. This fall he’s adding clothes to his repertoire with a trio of jackets. Their names? Gérard, Paul, and the intentionally misspelled Steeve, as in Depardieu, Newman, and McQueen—three men, Dreyfuss says, “all the girls at our office are so in love with.” Available at the designer’s New York and Paris boutiques, the jackets are done in sumptuous sheepskin and lambskin, some with crocodile trim ($1,880–$2,780). Come spring Dreyfuss will debut leather pants and shorts, but their names are still up in the air, he says. One you can definitely rule out, however, is Jérôme: “That would be a little pretentious.”
