Vera Wang runway features hair by Fekkai/Paul Hanlon s 2013 Fashion Week

This is the signature Paul Hanlon.
It looks like spun sugar to me!

Paul Hanlon created a very dry, fabric like texture to build a turban inspired up-do for the Vera Wang show this season. The style is a poetic take on weathered hair.
Get this look at home:

  • Prep the hair by heavily applying Fekkai Strong Hold Volume Mousse throughout the hair.
  • Power dry the hair until it is completely dry and then brush it out.
  •  Starting at the back of the head and take a section of the hair and backcomb it from the roots to ends.
  • Spray the section with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray then run a straightening iron through it and brush through. Repeat this process section by section over the entire head.
  • Flip your hair forward and lightly brush it from the nape of your neck to the ends.
  • While the hair is still flipped, split it into two sections. Cross the two sections of hair over each other at the front of the head.
  • Put your head upright and and wrap the sections around your head, pinning them down as you wrap. The pins can be roughly placed with your hands in various places to give the look a raw/savage look.
  • Once the hair is pinned around, go through and pull some pieces towards the back of the head and down.
  • Finish the look by pulling a few strands out towards the back with your hands and spray thoroughly with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray.

 

All Products by Fekkai: Fekkai Full Blown Volume Mousse ($25; Fekkai COIFFTM Sheer Hold Hairspray ($25); AVAILABLE AT FEKKAI.COM, FEKKAI SALONS, NORDSTROM, NEIMAN MARCUS, SAKS FIFTH AVENUE.

CND’s basket case for Rodarte : nails s 2013 Fashion Week

CND’s Michele Huynh played the texture card, and played it well for Rodarte.  Dubbed “Modern Medieval”, her design wove strips of custom blended and mattefied CND Colours in Desert Suede, Frosting Cream and Chocolate Milk over a base blend of high shine CND Colours in Desert Suede and Frosting Cream

What time prep goes into a nail of such distinction?  Each nail tip required fifteen minutes to hand-detail – and the 30 total sets of nails for the show took 150+ hours to create!

Would you try this look?

Kate Middleton wears Prabal Gurung on first day of Asia Royal Tour

Oh, this old thing?

The Duchess donned the beautiful colors of Prabal Gurung s 2012, a New York designer by way of Nepal, on her first day of the Asia Royal Tour in Singapore. This is a very modest version of the knockout looks Gurung showed during fashion week and in later ads with Candice Swanepoel.  Prabal is a pretty penny and a departure from her off-the-rack style.  I’m not one to nit, but isn’t she technically wearing last season?  Maybe that’s her way of not looking too much a slave to fashion.

To further flatter these colors, I would love to see her darken her hair for fall.  Overall, it doesn’t matter, it’s refreshing to see her in this designer and I hope we get more to come. Where the digital pattern hits and cut are flattering to her figure.

Any guesses on who else she might wear?  I’m hoping an appearance of Zang Toi is in the rounds.
