Frederic Fekkai Partners with CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund to host the LA Runway Show for the 2009 Designer Finalists.

While the top designers in America were vying to win the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award (which will be announced tonight), what really wowed the crowd were the two hair looks designed by celebrity stylist, Renato Campora for Frédéric Fekkai. As the exclusive beauty partner for the event, the Fekkai team worked closely with Vogue and the 10 Designer Finalists to create two special hairstyles, the Wet Look and the Dry Look, to compliment each of the collections.

Frederic Fekkai’s Lead Stylist, Renato Campora Creates Two Signature Hair Styles with an Emphasis on Texture:

The first look is a sculptural and edgy ponytail. It’s modern, young and sexy. The texture tells a story through the wet and twisted hard hair. Pieces are left in front for an effortless feel, inspired by some of the graphic trends shown in the collections.

Here’s a Behind the Scenes Look at the “Kick-ass Hair” created by Eugene Souleiman (Global Creative Director) and Eva Scrivo (Master Colorist) for Wella Professionals.

Thakoon’s Spring ’10 collection demonstrates the dichotomy of east meets west by combining contrasting textures with tight and loose elements. The hair style reflects a surfer meets samurai look with a sleek half pulled back ponytail knot and the remaining bottom half flows down the back into beach tousled waves. Hair color completes the look! Eva Scrivo hand painted extensions with Color Touch demi-permanent with contrasting light and dark tones to create a beautifully, cohesive color palette of natural shades with excellent dimension and shine.

Debra Messing’s head-turning look was one of the most beautiful seen at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Complimenting her dramatic red Michael Kors gown, star stylist Robert Vetica created a truly inspired low, asymmetrical ponytail shaped into a free-flowing cluster of curls that resembled an elegant chignon.

“It was all about style complemented by sensuous movement and healthy, natural-looking ease,” said Vetica. “A smooth, shiny texture was the essence of the look.”

The technique was as brilliant as the look, and was achieved without any curling or flat irons, using only Moroccanoil Treatment, Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray, a blowdryer and a round brush.

To ensure smooth, natural-looking and weightless shine, Vetica first generously applied argan-oil infused, original Moroccanoil Treatment to Messing’s coarse textured, curly wet hair. “Her hair loves the ultra-light richness of Moroccanoil Treatment and it absorbs in instantly without any residue. There’s nothing else like it for this kind of shine,” said Vetica.

Nominee, Heidi Klum, steps out for the 61st Annual Emmy Awards with hair by celebrity hairstylist, Michel Aleman for Frederic Fekkai & make-up by Linda Hay.

Dress: Marchesa
Jewels: Lorraine Schwartz
Hair: Michel Aleman for Frederic Fekkai

Michel created a Fifties inspired up-do with a modern interpretation – ultra feminine with a bit of volume. To get the look he crafted soft texture with slight waves pulled back to softly frame the face. A strong middle part was accented by a chignon positioned back of the head at ear level. Michel started off by applying Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Gel to create some texture and then blow-dried the hair. Once dry, he applied Fekkai Coiff Oceanique to create the soft waves. He created a middle part and two pony tails in the back of the head at ear level, making sure the hair in front is smooth but pulled back softly. He teased each ponytail to create the volume and then brought together into one dramatic chignon. Aleman finished off with the Fekkai Advanced Brilliant Glossing Sheer Shine Mist.

Blake Lively seems to not get much love on Twitter this evening because of her dress and ponytail. I, on the other hand, think Blake looks absolutely stunning tonight. Everything about the look shows a trend setter, not a follower. The dress was low cut but her body type can pull it off perfectly. If you got it flaunt it. Isn’t what they say? It reminded me of the very famous JLO aka Jennifer Lopez moment few years ago when she stepped out in a low cut green Versace dress. Maybe this is Blakes’s moment as well! I just got back from New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 and one of the prominent hair tends and looks on the runway was a ponytail (Gottex and Alexander Wang had all over their shows!) Blake is ahead of her times with her Emmy Award 2009 look and that takes courage, a trait I so admire.
