There’s nothing quite like Fashion Week—the sartorial mayhem, the runways, and of course, the trendsetting hair!

How cool is the “wet look” on the Rag + Bone models for NY Fashion Week?

It is very tough-chic and futuristic; I like to describe the look as bladerunner-esque,” said Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau of the [...]
