Beauty Talk – New York Style

So we just got back from New York Fashion Week with our amazingly talented creative team. It was the presentation of the 2010 Fall Collection and we swooped in to provide hair for two amazing shows. I’m still trying to digest the amazing experience we had.

We worked on two fabulous shows with two great designers, Nicholas Clements-Lindsey of NCL Couture and Korto Momolu from Project Runway. Working with two such talents certainly inspired me to provide them with the ultimate in hair design that complimented and completed the story for their collection! An equally important component was the fabulous make up for both shows provided by our friend, Cristina Romeo, owner of Polaris Cosmetics, and her team of talented make-up artists.

When I sat down with designer Nicholas (NCL Couture) and asked him what direction he wanted to go in, he replied, “Marie Antoinette!”

Not the literal, but, dramatic and big! I also wanted to give the audience and little surprise in the back of the look and incorporated braiding designs in the back of the head, which I felt added a little sophisticated fun to the look while keeping with the overall theme.

We have had the good fortune of working with the talented Korto Momolu before when she showed in LA during October Fashion Week 2009, and an instant bond was formed. Korto was thrilled when we were available to do her show in New York. Korto’s hair design was certainly inspired by her clothes and ethnic back round. The result was a tight sleek and sophisticated look. The hair was pulled back and the extra length was braided on top of the head to form a bun-like design that was interwoven with fabric given to us by Korto. A look that can easily be taken from runway to everyday!

The Union Square Ballroom Style Tip: Braiding can be worn all year round, the difference between braids in the Spring and braids in the Fall can be as simple as wearing them looser and also down for the Spring/Summer and lifting them up, and wearing them tighter for the Fall/Winter, as seen from our show in NY. Throw in a splash of fabric for fun!
