LA Fashion Week- Hair Backstage at Julia Clancey
The hairstyle at Julia Clancey LA Fashion Week Fall 2008 was created by Sean James, hair stylist for L’Oreal Proffesionnel at Fred Segal.

The look is a 1940’s-1950’s inspired updo. The effect from the back is a bit of a ‘cleavage’ making this hairstyle extra sexy.

According to Sean James this updo can last for days and even a week with minimum upkeep. Sean James’ must-have product to achieve the hairstyle at Juila is: Infinium 2 Regular Hold Working Spray by L’Oreal Professionnel.

Julia Clancey is an English designer who is already a huge sensation in London. Juila brings her collection of amazing cocktail dresses and red carpet looks to LA Fashion Week for the first time. Her collection was held by US customs until the day before the show. Quite stressful.

Lori was kind enough to share with Talking Makeup some of the details behind the makeup look at Julia Clancey. Eyes are smokey not in black but in brown, using Smashbox Cream Eye Liner in Putty (medium brown), $22. The eye liner is used to create a take off of a cat eye which is softer, more round and fluid. Cheeks are glowy and highlighted. Lips are blood red, using Smashbox Photo Finish Lipstick with Sila-Silk Technology in Legendary, $22.
