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.

December’s Vogue 2009, on newsstands nationwide November 24th, highlights some of most talented individuals of our generation: dancers, musicians, and actors all beautifully captured by photographer Annie Leibovitz for the annual Arts issue. Now live on Vogue.com, an exclusive peek behind the scenes with Annie Leibovitz and Vogue’s Creative Director Grace Coddington as they discuss the making of the Arts issue and their visually stunning feature of Hansel and Gretel inspired by the Metropolitan Opera’s production opening December 14th.

Actor Andrew Garfield and model Lily Cole play the title characters who come upon a Marc Jacobs clad witch, played by the always dramatic Lady Gaga (and, once again, she doesn’t disappoint). But not all the drama transpired in front of the camera, in the video Coddington describes Gaga’s provocative arrival to the set, “in order for us to have a clean palate to work with, she turned up completely naked under a white rubber rain coat.”

For those of you aware of Fashion’s Night Out, being held tomorrow, Thursday, September 10th, in New York, NARS will be creating ‘80’s rock star’ makeovers (à la Marc Jacobs) in numerous locations.

From borough to borough, New Yorkers will be celebrating their city’s fashionable reputation (not to mention some charitable perks: proceeds from the official Fashion’s Night Out T-Shirts are being donated to the National September 11th Memorial and Museum).

If you are looking to recreate a Sienna Miller inspired look at home, Kevin offers his step-by-step styling tips for this red carpet look below.

The Look: Hair is worn down with loose, bohemian-chic waves

Prep: Enhance your natural texture by applying a volumizing or curling mousse, such as Nexxus Mousse Plus

…or Nexxus Gorgeous Curls, at the root and spreading to the ends. Flip head over and blow hair around while massaging the roots with your finger tips. This will help build texture into the style.
