How to: futuristic hair at David Koma

Written by Mariesa Ferraro on 30 Sep 2011

David Koma’s spring 2012 collection was based on 
the idea of a futuristic tribe. It consisted of a monochromatic pallette with flashes of colour such as hot pink and turquoise. It also combined textures such as matte vs shiny created with the use of reflective perspex; while the prints seen throughout the collection were bold and geometric. To compliment this, the hair followed the futuristic …

Hair how to: Felicity Brown’s disheveled Victoriana

Written by Mariesa Ferraro on 27 Sep 2011

Felicity Brown’s beautiful collection for spring 2012 took inspiration from Victorian lady adventurers in Africa, such as Kathryn Hepburn in ‘African Queen’. Her focus was on combining the influences from both cultures, bringing together the similarities in traditional African neck adornments with elaborate Victorian tailoring. This made for a stunning and vibrant collection whilst still incorporating Felicity’s signature style. Her presentation was held in the …

The Arizona bob gone mod

Written by Tania Braukämper on 26 Sep 2011

Aside from being some of those that are refreshingly clean and tagline-free, Self Service’s two Arizona Muse covers for their fall / winter 2011 issue are a lesson in hairstyle transformation. More often than not looking classically silver-screen with her waved bob, Alasdair McLellan’s shots of Muse are instead decidedly 1960s. And all it takes is some volume, a teased crown, and a simple bobby …

How to: Aminaka Wilmont’s elfin hair

Written by Mariesa Ferraro on 26 Sep 2011

Inspired by fairytales and Scandinavian folklore, Aminaka Wilmont's spring 2012 collection graced the runway with an Elfin beauty. Nothing was more fitting for the look than the hairstyle: a contrast of the smooth, poker straight texture in the front with a corrugated, frizzy wave through the back. For a fantasy look you can easily recreate for yourself, read the full how-to guide after the break.

Sasha Pivovarova joins the white set

Written by Daniel P Dykes on 16 Sep 2011

The notion of ‘just change it’ when picking a new hair colour remains just as relevant as we approach the final quarter of 2011 as it did when the year kicked off. Seemingly channeling Madonna, Russian model Sasha Pivovarova joins the white blonde set in her outing on Vogue Paris’ October 2011 cover.

Brit-rock hairstyle: men’s hair trend for 2011 / 2012

Written by Daniel P Dykes on 15 Aug 2011

There’s a men’s hairstyle that hasn’t left the catwalk in some time: the slightly tousled, slightly devil-may-care, forward sweeping men’s hairstyle. It’s been called many a thing, but with its Regency overtones and the fact that it continues to be favoured and interpreted by many a British indie band, it’s a hairstyle we’ve dubbed the Brit-rock hairstyle. It’s also a hairstyle with enduring appeal and …

A hairstyle for running out the door

Written by Tania Braukämper on 7 Aug 2011

Amanda Smith’s hair is so good that I barely notice the clothes in this shoot. Granted, there’s nothing fancy about it – no complex up ‘dos or out-there hair accessories to speak of. But it’s long. It’s red. It has a sweeping peek-a-boo fringe revealing her sweetly freckled nose. And there’s a few little waves at the end that save it from looking too un-done …

More than a milkmaid braid

Written by Tania Braukämper on 6 Aug 2011

A plain, unornamented milkmaid braid is enough of a hairstyle outing for most people. But for a creative designer mind like Erin Fetherston’s, there’s a little more to be done with it. Entwined with strands of rope and secured with many a pin into a roll at the back, it’s a braid that – especially when paired with floating white pleats – ends up feeling …

Makeup inspiration for your hair colour

Written by Tania Braukämper on 29 Jun 2011

Jack H Liu’s shoot Primary Colors arrived at a perfect time. Perfect because it’s about hair colour, a topic I have on my mind. After some contemplation I just last embarked on an all-out hair colour metamorphosis (remember that mantra – just change it?) and I’m still getting used to my new red locks. Liu’s shoot features beauty looks for three primary hair colours – …
