Fashion Week Spring 2010 NYC Sept. 10 -17
Every hour, on the hour another designer will be showing off their Spring 2010 looks at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC at Bryant Park. Have you ever wondered what when on behind the runways and how two great design arts meet to create the most fabulous runway shows across the world? Documentaries and clips are broadcast all over the local cable networks, and on the web this week covering NYC fashion week. But here is a synopsis of what it really takes for a Hairstylist team to take on the challenge of Fashion Week New York.
Some of us choose our hairstyle, and we wear it proud as our statement and the entire focus of our look and personality. While some of us wear our hair and treat it as an accessory, something that is there to compliment our clothing and style. Top stylist teams, like Redkin, Bumble & Bumble, and Aveda, are carefully chosen to style the hair for fashion week’s models by designers like Ralph Lauren, Prada, and one of my favorites, Anna Sui. I think there has to be a concise understanding of the what the Fashion Designer wants the hair to represent, or compliment, regarding the clothing and the communication to be clear to the hairstylist by the designer. Most fashion designers will already have direction and idea for how the hair should be styled, so it is important as a stylist to be able to turn idea into reality. Being an attentive listening is the key here. Therefore, we see a collaboration of two great arts, fashion design and hair styling. One cannot live without the other. Above I chose to represent this idea with some of Anna Sui’s runway looks. I think this is a perfect example of how intense the hairstyling can be for the clothing design, but together these teams pulled off a rockin’ kickass look!
