Today’s entry comes courtesy of The Hair Book‘s new editor-in-chief, Lauren Lipton. Take it away, Lauren! The Hair Book’s vote for the most beautiful hair on the Spring/Summer 2012 runways: The sparkling French twists at Badgley Mischka. “It’s a red carpet, real old school hairdo,” says Peter Gray, who created the glamorous, modern style. But [...]
Redken Creative Consultant Guido created this sophisticated updo for the Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2012 show by applying satinwear 02 ultimate blow-dry lotion to damp hair and rough drying, then raking full frame 07 all-over volumizing mousse through the hair with his fingers (to add a rich texture, said the stylist) and tying it all [...]
Wella Professionals Color Ambassador Laurie Foley spent time backstage at the Spring 2011 shows lightening models hair, but she wasn’t painting on highlights or touching up roots. Instead, the New York City-based colorist was busy bleaching brows. At Rodarte and Marc Jacobs (that’s a snap from his show at left), Foley lightened arches with Wella [...]
Giles Deacon marked his debut as designer of Emanuel Ungaro with short sheath dresses, Lurex knits and shiny Heidi-inspired braided headbands courtesy of backstage stylist and Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau. “There is something very innocent about this style, but once the girls have their makeup done with dark lips, she turns into this very [...]
As at Lanvin, the look at Pedro Lourenco’s Spring 2011 show was “wet” but this time the inspiration wasn’t a scuba diver but a futuristic space princess. “The hair is very simple: A very wet looking top knot that elongates the neck and makes a very nice silhouette,” said backstage stylist and Redken Creative Consultant [...]
Roberto Cavalli’s spring/summer 2011 collection marks the design house’s 40th anniversary.

The look at Lanvin was based on, of all things, a girl who just finished scuba diving and had pulled her hair back into a ponytail! “This look is quite different from last season’s look. There are a few sporty pieces in the collection, so we wanted to play on that [...]
The Nina Ricci Spring/Summer 2011 collection featured a slew of chiffon confections, tailored jackets and coats, and a number of gorgeous water colored printed pieces. For the hair, Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau dreamed up a low, loose knot reminiscent of both Edwardian era and 1970s styles that provided an ideal counterpoint to the ladylike [...]
Runway stylist and Redken creative consultant, Guido Palau, found inspiration for the hair at Bottega Veneta in the shower, so to speak. “This line for Bottega Veneta is a very modern work wear-inspired collection and the designer wanted a very natural, American beauty to complement it. This look represents a woman on the go, rushing [...]
Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2011 collection featured a modern mix of slim dresses and ultra bright gowns. Stylist Odile Gilbert whipped up what she referred to as a “neo-chignon” to match.
