New York Fashion Week - CAAFD SS18
The CAAFD (Council of Aspiring American Fashion Designers) put on quite a show in New York. With four designers showcasing their work, themes ranged from medieval castles in ruins with Fesvey; classic, fun and comfortable with Mikelsen; happiness, sophistication and feminity with Frances Gerard; and monochromatic texture and linear shapes indicative of New York City with Samantha Leibowitz. When it came time to create the hair Hair Lead Patrick G Nadeau “wanted to create a classic, natural texture paired with a style that was effortlessly cool as if the model did it herself. Nothing beats a cool style, even if you do a classic style, always add an intriguing element of cool.”

Glamour walked down the runway in New York at Irina Vitjaz S/S 2018 as flowy dresses and jumpsuits clung to the models in all the right spots. Accentuating the figure of a woman like a dream, these elegant designs were emphasized with the sleekest of styles. “We focused on the glamour of Irina’s collection and wanted the hair to mimic but not overpower the clothes. A sleek, matte finish low-pony is the definition of timeless elegance,” said Hair Lead Matthew Curtis. Read on to see just how they created this beautiful style.
