I popped down to London Fashion Week today to go backstage at Spijkers en Spijkers to find out what Toni & Guy were creating to accompany the 1920s inspired designs. The collection was summed up as 'geometrics, colour and emotion' and there were some seriously gorgeous silky numbers hanging on the rails that wouldn't look out of place on the set of The Great Gatsby.
The hair was a roughed up nod to the 20s, created using label. m Volume Mousse (apparently 450 cans were ordered for London Fashion Week - so expect more mentions!) on wet hair to add body to the crown. After blast drying, even more texture was added using label. m Ressurection Style Dust. The top layers were then waved using the Toni & Guy deep barrel waver and ruffled using dry shampoo before twisting the ends into a rope braid at the nape of the neck. The look was finished with hairspray on the final lineup.
You chic thing at LFW!! :) Love these photos, I suppose models don't have the chance to get emotional about losing hair!

I'm loving the 20's art deco inspiration for these designs. Makes me want to snuggle up with a copy of Gatsby or House of Mirth!

ReplyDeleteIs this a sponsored post by Toni & Guy?
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't tell whether content is coming from you or from advertisers anymore. Huge turn-off.
The post isn't sponsored no. I've done ONE sponsored post in 13 months - and that will always be disclosed.
DeleteAt Fashion Weeks (worldwide) the hair and makeup is generally sponsored which means they use one brand. The makeup, for example was by The Body Shop for this show, but you'll find others by Maybelline/Revlon/MAC etc.
I was a guest of Toni & Guy so I was there to find out about the hair (by time I left none of the models had completed makeup looks so I can't comment on that). But either way I'm under no obligation to post this - I just thought it might be interesting to see some backstage shots.
I love this post. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteMeg! Don't bother one silly comment on sponsoring! The others all loved your post. Including me X
ReplyDeleteAwesome line and a lovely post as usual! Please give my blog a look- for lots of love and good karma! xx
