Schoolboy charm ruled the runway at Miuccia Prada’s SS18 Miu Miu show. With perfectly placed collars, buttoned-up sweaters, plaid and sandals worn with socks –a look that satisfied something deep in everyone’s psyche. As the collection evolved into a clash of menswear-inspired staples mixed with women’s floral and lace, it grew into something more, a statement. What’s more, the unintentional casting of non-Caucasian girls simply because Miuccia liked the way her clothes looked on girls of diverse stature, embraced individuality and paved the way for women everywhere.

Paris had a feast for the eyes with the Sacai SS18 RTW show. A beautiful collection from Chitose Abe; flowing fabrics, draping, and layers summed up her simple chic wardrobe that had influential colors, fabrics and statements. With shirts and jackets tied under the arms and beautiful constructs of fabric, the pieces were unique and sophisticated. Of the hair, Redken Global Creative Director Guido Palau said, “I’ve done a simple folded ponytail here at the Sacai show to show off the dramatic clothing this season. I’ve prepped the hair by washing it with Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner, then allowed it to air dry. Before tying the hair up, I’ve spritzed my beloved Redken Wind Blown 05 to texturize the hair a bit for some added hold.” Follow along below to re-create the look.

Akris demonstrated a new way to wear art in their SS18 show at Paris Fashion Week. Sheer fabrics and checkered prints bounced off of bold colors – reminiscent of a Mondrian – while drapey, flowy fabrics made their way down the runway. The hair was kept natural and free, much like the intention of the show. Guido Palau, Redken Global Creative Director created the look, saying “It’s a very natural look here at the Akris show this season. I’ve prepped the hair by washing with Redken Clean Maniac Clean – Touch Micellar Shampoo, then used Redken’s new No BlowDry Cream to cut down on frizz as the hair dries to enhance its texture.”
