This style looks effortless but does require a few steps to make sure the hair flows on the runway.”–Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

Milan, 20th of June 2011. D&G MEN SUMMER 2012. I wish I was there:) My dream is to go to a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Milan, one day. Stefano Gabbana can you hear me? xxx. Meanwhile here’s a sneak peek:

Oribe Hair Care Stylists share with TM how to get MTV red carpet ready hairstyle looks for Justin Bieber and Lily Collins.

Oribe Hair Care stylists Vanessa Rose Price and Eric Gabriel created side swept styled hair for the one‐and‐only Justin Bieber and natural loose waves for Lily Collins for an evening with the stars.

Justin Bieber, styled by Vanessa Rose Price “Justin decided to rock a slightly edgier hairstyle for his surprise appearance. Leaving behind his signature ‘do,’ we went with a slightly messier look and pushed it out of his face,” says Vanessa Rose Price.

How To Get the Look:

I used Oribe Superfine Hair Spray for the final touches of Justin’s hair at all televised award shows including last night’s MTV Movie Awards. It’s perfect when you need to layer products without weighing down the hair. Its mist is so fine that you won’t see any residue or buildup on the hair…not even in HD.

Lily Collins, styled by Eric Gabriel “Lily loves her hair a bit sexy and tousled ‐ not too ‘done.’ We wanted her look to complement her D&G leopard dress and Louboutin booties: sexy and young, with a bit of rock ‘n’ roll,” adds Eric Gabriel.

How To Get the Look:

1. I sprayed Oribe ‘s NEW Maximista Thickening Spray on the roots before I blew out her hair

2. Once dry, I then set her hair with Oribe Volumista Mist spray using a 11⁄2‐inch curling iron to create loose spirals

3. I then ran my hands through it to break it up a little bit and voila, smooth, sexy waves that will last throughout the night

Eva Mendes’ hairstyle. John Dahlstrom for Frederic Fekkai created Eva Mendes’ tousled, romantic up-do for the 2010 CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund Runway Show. The Hairstyle & Inspiration: A slight ‘60’s nod with a bit of Bardot. Think: modern and sophisticated, yet wearable.

How to & products:

John Dahlstrom started by prepping the hair with Fekkai Full Blown Volume Styling Whip, applying just at the root of the hair.

Then, he dried the hair loosely using just his hands to create volume at the base. Next, he purposefully left Eva’s side swept bang out, leaving it to style later. The crown of the hair was then back-combed for a nice, full effect. With Fekkai Coiff Nonchalant Piecing and Forming Wax, the hair was pulled back into a ponytail, but not too tight; this way, the style looked effortless and maintained fullness. After the ponytail was secured, the fringe was released from the clip, and the bang was given hold using Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray to secure the style. The look was accessorized with a D&G headband for modernity.

Milan Fashion Week SS 2011. Designer: D&G WOMEN’S SUMMER 2011, Milan, September 2010. The theme: GARDEN PARTY.

The D&G Summer 2011 Women’s collection is a day in the garden. It starts early in the morning with gardening outfits made of canvas dungarees and trousers and it goes on with a picnic, mixing flowery prints with vichy patterns. It then follows on with a cocktail where light, flower-printed, poplin summer dresses take centre stage and it ends with a party al fresco where it is imperative to show up in long floral chiffon gowns.

THE MIX

Roses, hydrangeas, freesias, violets and mimosas: these are the symbols of this collection, which mixes different floral prints with vichy patterns, denim and canvas, printed patent leather shoes and the iconic Lily Twist.

FINALE

Long floral chiffon gowns to wear with printed patent wedges for a garden party underneath the stars.

SOUNDTRACK

I love it when men wear shorts but not just any: I’m talking about Rachel Zoe’s Project Brad Goreskii, Dolce&Gabbana-ish, English school boy inspired shorts. So hot:)

Just in case you didn’t get enough of the New Moon Permiere last week, here are some highlights via swide.com 

Robert Pattinson at NY’s New Moon screening wearing D&G (image below):

“We saw Twilight and we loved the kind of visceral, profound love that links the protagonists, their passions and their values. This is why we wanted to celebrate the release of New Moon with D&G by organizing a special screening and an after-party at The Box in New York. Robert Pattison, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, apart from being beautiful, embody an ideal that goes beyond the story that they interpret. They let us understand that there is a need of emotions and of passions. They are for real the mirror of that generation that inspires our creations, that generation to which we are trying to talk with our work”.-Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana

I’m a huge Dolce&Gabbana perfumes fan. I like to call Dolce&Gabbana The One, and Dolce&Gabbana The One rose as my signature fragrances. I feel ‘safe’ wearing them, do you know the feeling guys? Last week I took a trip to the Sephora store here in Scottsdale Arizona Fashion Square and couldn’t help but ‘whiff’ (that’s what I call it) the new D&G Fragrance Anthology. I fell in love with 3 L’IMPÉRATRICE. And btw I’m also addicted to the Dolce&Gabbana The One Body Lotion, it has golden shimmer in it, and you know how much Marta loves shimmers ans sparkles!!  What I like about D&G The one is that it smells very modern, not too overpowering, wears well day or night, and very sexy. It’s not overly sweet or spicy, it’s just right!

The D&G Fragrance Anthology: With its characteristic audacity, D&G unveils a wardrobe of five, mesmerising fragrances that answer the fundamental human questions: “Who am I? Who do I want to be?”. At times, our characters are mysteries even to ourselves. As the label of metropolitan glamour, D&G recognises that – for the world’s most discerning men and women – the sense of self may exist in a beguiling state of flux.

1 LE BATELEUR

Aromatic top notes, yielding to an aquatic heart, on a cedarwood and vetyver base. The torrid heat of Le Bateleur’s beginnings cools into an aquatic heart, before settling into an earthily textured base. Fiery yet bracing, fluid yet grounded, the scent is a symphony of perfectly poised contradictions.

Personality: The Seducer Provocative and playful – ragingly passionate, yet enviably cool – this is a man who gets what he wants. Dominant and distinctive, resolutely direct, Le Bateleur is an accomplished Mediterranean seducer.

Personality: The Star Flamboyant and energetic, for L’Impératrice life is a movie and she is its heroine. All heads turn when she enters a room. Vibrant, magnetic she exudes charisma and force of character.

Personality: The Charmer An incurable romantic in possession of an inherent nobility, dashing L’Amoureux melts the most cynical of hearts. Desired by all he meets, this charmer is all about intensity.

THE PACKAGING

Each scent that makes up the D&G fragrance anthology is presented in a sleek, impeccably elegant flacon, at once strikingly simple yet sophisticated. Finished with a glossy jet pump and modern cap, the design takes its inspiration from the bottles once used in the old apothecaries. Each perfume is differentiated by the colour of its juice: sky blue for 1 Le Bateleur; blush pink for 3 L’Imperatrice; limpid green for 6 L’Amoureux; soft violet for 10 La Roue de la Fortune; and pale yellow for 18 La Lune. The name and number of each fragrance is marked on an embossed label and enhanced by the famous D&G logo, a global icon for luxury and sophistication. Outercarton design, a contemporary reinvention of traditional perfumery paper, displays fragrance name and number in delicate matte black ink.

Introducing the first D&G Fragrance Anthology the ultimate art of self-expression. One collection, five eternal personalities.

“We all have many differnt facets to our personalities: this is the world of D&G.”-Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

With its characteristic audacity, D&G unveils a wardrobe of five, mesmerising fragrances that answer the fundamental human questions: “Who am I? Who do I want to be?”. At times, our characters are mysteries even to ourselves. As the label of metropolitan glamour, D&G recognises that – for the world’s most discerning men and women – the sense of self may exist in a beguiling state of flux.

The Concept:  To meet this need, D&G has captured the very essence of five eternal dramatis personae: The provocative 1 Le Bateleur; the irrepressible 3 L’Impératrice; sensual 6 L’Amoureux; daring 10 La Roue de la Fortune; and hypnotizing 18 La Lune. Prompted by the intriguing Gallic game of the tarot, each flacon bears the name and number of its inspiration. The enchanting creations within play with, and yet transcend the conventions of gender. Captivated by possibility, the wearer has the freedom to discover his or her identity from a pantheon of legendary archetypes. The question: “Who am I?” receives that most captivating and contemporary of answers: “Anyone one desires to be”.

The Advertising:  Created by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and directed by legendary Mario Testino, the TV and print promotional material will prove transfixing – an epochal moment in perfume advertising. On the theme of the iconic George Michael’s “Freedom 90”, the running imagery of the D&G fragrance anthology will prove as unforgettable as the fragrances it heralds.

The Cast: The individuals who will embody D&G’s cast of characters are personalities in their own right, stripped down to their barest and most seductive essentials. Central to the advertising campaign, the most dazzling Nineties supermodels are representing these new fragrances as enduring icons. With her bewitching blue eyes and fairy-tale long blond hair, Claudia Schiffer has long held the status of fashion’s most serene and luminous beauty. As such, she portrays the enigma that is 18 La Lune: a paean to entrancing lustre and plush sensuality.

Eva Herzigova, the face and physique of her generation, pairs with newcomer Fernando Fernandes – the incendiary Brazilian boxer turned fashion model – to evoke the daring of 10 La Roue de la Fortune. A figure of fantasy across the globe, Naomi Campbell is 3 L’Impératrice – an archetype as revered for her vivacious nature as her imperious, headily overwhelming allure. The Empress, a goddess in human form, is charismatic, mercurial, pulsatingly feminine. One of the chief heroes of today’s catwalks, Noah Mills’s searching gaze and impeccable torso conjure the perfections of a Greek god and represents the Eros of 6 L’Amoureux. The suggestive appeal of Texan-born Tyson Ballou has earned him a place at the heart of the fashion firmament. His palpable magnetism and enticing physique embody all that is irresistible about 1 Le Bateleur.
