How to get natural, sexy texture hairdo

1. Prep damp hair with Kérastase Mousse Substantive along with Kérastase Lotion Densitive and blow dry to achieve a natural-looking yet smooth texture.

2. Section hair and create loose waves by curling the mid-lengths with a 2 inch barrel curling iron, leaving the ends free.

3. Lightly rake fingers through the waves, and spray hair with Kérastase Double Force Hairspray for a slightly matte look.

4. Apply Kérastase Sublimateur Jour to the ends and finish the style with a light mist of Kérastse Double Force Controle Ultime Hair Spray

Kérastase Products Used:

Mousse Substantive – conditioning and styling foam that provides long-lasting body and hold to fine or limp mature hair

Lotion Densitive – texturizing spray for added volume and body

Double Force Hair Spray – buildable hold hair spray with a protective UV filter

Sublimateur Jour – daily leave-in conditioner, which delivers shine, softness and suppleness to hair

Double Force Controle Ultime Hair Spray– buildable hold hairspray with a protective UV filter

At Nicole Miller Fall 2012, CND’s Wanda Ruiz helped showcase parallel times to prove that “the past plays out in the present.” CND’s “Time Machine” manicures at Nicole Miller were trippy and hypnotic in colorful swirls of CND Colours in Plumville, Electric Orange, Bicycle Yellow and Anchor Blue. Master this look at home with a toothpick (or a detailing brush) and some patience.

Last night, 2/10/201, TRESemmé Stylist Jeanie Syfu created the sleek and polished ponytails backstage at Charlotte Ronson’s Fall 2012 runway show.

HAIRSTYLE

Inspired by the 70s, the designer’s collection was refined and glamorous with edgy accents.

The perfectly coordinated pieces featured a mix of textures – leather, sheer fabric, knits and slashes of metallic. The colors were rich with emerald green, tomato red and purple. TRESemmé Stylist Jeanie Syfu took a different approach to the hair by slicking it back into a refined ponytail.

Sleek and polished ponytail secured at the nape of the neck. The refined pieces featured edgy accents and called for a slicked back, chic look to compliment the collection.

How-To Steps:

1. Start by prepping hair with TRESemmé Split Remedy Leave-In Conditioning Treatment. Apply throughout hair from roots to ends

2. Blow dry hair straight back from forehead, using a flat brush to gently push back

3. Pull out a few face-framing pieces from the hairline, just in front of the ears for a more windswept look

4. Apply a small amount of TRESemmé TRES Ultra Firm Control Gel with a color brush to the front hairline, leaving the wispy pieces out

5. Comb back all the hair flat and gather into a ponytail, securing with a band just above the nape of the neck

6. Flat iron the ponytail to reduce flyaways, if necessary

7. Secure the style with a light spritz of TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray

TRESemmé Stylist Jeanie Syfu created a gorgeous undone side bun for Rebecca Minkoff’s Fall 2012 runway show. To complement the designer’s collection including a mix of leather, fur, sequins and knits, Jeanie created a very chic and relaxed low bun to bring femininity to the strong silhouettes of the collection.

A chic, relaxed side bun that was textured, yet feminine.

The mix of textures, rich colors and strong silhouettes with a menswear influence called for a style that balanced the look and added a touch of femininity, with just enough edge.

5. Gather hair into a loose pony on one side, fastening elastic midway down the pony, leaving the heavier side of the face-framing part loose and undone

A refined beachside campsite served as the inspiration for the Perry Ellis spring 2012 campaign, which was released on Tuesday, February 7th. Featuring noted models Tom Bull and Kate Bock, the campaign was shot in Malibu, California and highlights spring collection’s polished and refined suiting as well as knitwear.

The inclusion of a female model marks a new direction for Perry Ellis’ advertising, which has traditionally been male-focused. The campaign features Tom Bull, who also opened the Perry Ellis spring 2012 runway show in September at New York Fashion Week, lounging with model Kate Bock. Bock will also be featured unaccompanied in Perry Ellis Swim advertising.

The spring 2012 collection was inspired by an American safari in the “Painted Desert,” which reflects the soft sun-baked color palatte with deliveries such as Sedona, indigo blue and white sands.

“Dusty blues, yellow and corals accent the dynamic linens we are offering which can be found in suiting as well as sport shirts,” said Doug Jakubowski, Chief Merchandising Officer. “The linen throughout the collection is treated in many ways such as washed and chintzed finishes.

The campaign launches mid-February and will be seen on outdoor advertisements and fashion books – including GQ, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Men’s Health, Out, Gotham, LA Confidential, and Ocean Drive. Perry Ellis Swim advertisements will be featured on outdoor advertisements and in select publications.

TM and Marta Walsh has got the word that Riccardo Tisci for The House of Givenchy ”…designed all costumes worn by Madonna during her half time performance at the Superbowl on February 5th, 2012 in Indianapolis.

Designed as part of the spectacle, all costumes were changed on stage, from an all over hand-embroidered gold cape that served as the performance’s opener, to the unveiling of a black mini dress worn with its hand-studded belt and an embellished black coat that completed the three costumes set : Madonna’s legendary music met Riccardo Tisci’s codes in what seemed to be the most perfect way.

Channeling Riccardo Tisci’s work for Givenchy in the past years, the designs for Madonna’s Superbowl performance incorporate signature references such as bold leopard print, three-dimensional embellishments, graphic placements and evocative cuts. Following my collaboration with Madonna on her last tour three years ago, it is a great honor for me to be a part of yet another historical and iconic moment.

People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna. I am so happy that, after being busy in other scenes, she decided to go back on a music stage. Not only to bring us Music, but also to make such a statement of Performance and Fashion.-Riccardo Tisci

Wearing Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci, Madonna performed a 12 minutes set including some of her greatest hits (“Vogue”, “Music”, “Express yourself”) and her brand new single (“Give me all your luvin’” featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.) for the first time.

Gold cape all over hand-embroidered with gold metal cut out pieces, studs, crystals, sequins and paillettes, lined in leopard-print chiffon. Black mini dress in silk cady, worn with leopard print short cape in silk charmeuse hand-embroidered with gold metal cut out pieces, studs, crystals, sequins and paillettes and a black python hand-studded and hand-embroidered belt with its removable matching flaps. Black coat in silk cady hand-embroidered with shiny black rectangular sequins and micro pearls. Gold metal hat hand-embroidered with crystals. All worn with hand embroidered nappa leather gloves.”

Nicole Miller is proud to introduce her intimate and sleepwear collection for The Carole Hochman Design Group. Over the past 30 years, Carole Hochman has established herself as a pioneer of designing intimate apparel. Now, Nicole Miller will join the exceptional lingerie and sleepwear collections that are a part of the Carole Hochman Design Group including Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Jockey and Betsey Johnson.

Nicole chose The Carole Hochman Design Group because of the similarities they both share when designing, which is to make women feel beautiful inside and out. As Nicole Miller is almost synonymous with the body con dress, much of the sleepwear collection will be body conscious silhouettes inspired by the dresses and separates from The Nicole Miller Collection. Prints will also be present in the collection, as many of the prints from the Nicole Miller Collection were translated to sleepwear.

Basics from the collection start at around $50 and up. The collection will be available for purchase in all Nicole Miller boutiques, as well as NicoleMiller.com in mid February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. The full collection will follow for a Summer availability. Many of the major department stores will be carrying the collection as well in their intimate apparel section, including Nordstrom, and Lord & Taylor. The collection will also be available for purchase at many online retailers including ideeli.com. Via Nicole Miller.
