Redken Creative Consultant Guido created a style fit for the classic Alexander Wang girl at the designer’s Fall/Winter 2012 show yesterday- it was a simple downtown look that bordered on tomboyish. The hair was inspired by kind of girl everyone wants to be, a perfect match for Wang’s chic, modern, must-have sportswear and the star-studded cast of models- see below for Guido styling Gisele Bündchen.

Alexander Wang New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012

“When designing his collection, Alexander is very in tune to the details and designs for the girl today, and we wanted the hairstyle to reflect that as well. It’s a very simple look, an easy down style with a center part and hair tucked behind the ears. It’s a very wearable hairstyle as well- straightforward and effortless.”–Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

HOW TO GET THIS RUNWAY HAIRSTYLE

1. On damp hair, apply satinwear 02 ultimate blow-dry lotion all over to create the foundation for the style and blow-dry the hair until about 80% dry.

2. Create a very clean center part.

3. Apply outshine 01 anti-frizz polishing milk from the mid-lengths to ends and let hair air dry the remaining 20% to bring out the natural texture. The outshine 01 will prevent that hair from frizzing as it dries.

4. When dry, tuck the hair behind the ears.

New York Fashion Week Report. Redken Creative Consultant Guido chose a natural, effortless high-shine hairstyle for Alexander Wang’s collection this Spring/Summer 2012 season to create the overall look of nonchalant yet elegant downtown girl.

“This is a very natural look that a girl could very easily achieve herself. It’s got that ‘just out of the shower’ feel to it, and I think it’s very chic to have a wet hair look when fully dressed in amazing clothes, like Alexander Wang. The very trendy, fabulous clothes in this collection paired with the effortless hair makes for a very cool finished look.”–Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Arlenis Sosa Latina magazine March 2010 Cover and Lancôme: The radiant Arlenis Sosa, one of Lancôme’s favorite spokesmodels, was feted by Lancôme and Latina magazine on Monday night, Feburary 22nd, 2010. The party celebrated Arlenis’s cover story in the March 2010 issue of Latina (image below).

The fun party, which was held at The Lancôme Boutique on NYC’s Upper West Side, attracted quite a crowd. Makeup artist Scott Barnes was there, as were pop star Kat DeLuna and MTV’s Julissa Bermudez—fellow Dominicanas there to cheer on Arlenis. (We were especially loving Kat’s dramatic black eyeliner and glossy lips, which was done by Scott himself.) The team behind the cover—photographer Marc Baptiste and makeup artist Rene Garnes—also dropped by. Arlenis was thrilled to see designer Luis Menieur there, too. After all, he did launch her modeling career after discovering her in Santo Domingo!

Arlenis looked radiantly chic in a Bordeaux-colored Alexander Wang mini-dress. The Lancôme Boutique’s Ewa Szwed did Arlenis’s makeup for the party here are the Lancôme products used:

Color Fever Shine lipstick in Bronze Heat
Le Lipstique Sheer Plum lip liner
Color Fever Plumper in Puckered
Hypnose Drama mascara
Blush Subtil in Shimmer Violet Sunrise for contour
Blush Subtil in Rouge Glow on the apples of the cheeks
Color Design Cream Blush in Model Mocha as highlight
Le Vernis in Untamed Plum on nails

Ka DeLunat, Arlenis Sosa, and Julissa Bermudez

Chanel’s creative director of makeup, Peter Philips, created a jade lacquer from the brand’s Fall 2009 show.

“Karl Lagerfeld wanted a green tint which would resonate with the jade-colored notes of the collection,” Philips says. A palette of ten different shades of green was shown to the designer, who picked the one that most resembled a tweed suit from the collection.
