Classically Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada put on a show to inspire the masses. With tensions high, she reinstates the notion of dressing to the nines to lift the spirits of women all over the world. It was a pastel palette of abundant faux-fur melted into bright hues and elegant patterns with ‘70s flair. Knits, furs, sequins and slips – fabrics were soft and shapes even softer. It was anything but understated and echoed glam at every angle. With mixed patterns, textures, and baker-boy hats to boot - the hair was simple, sleek and sophisticated, everything they portrayed the modern woman to be.

In Paris, Pierpaolo Piccioli debuted a whimsical collection for Valentino Fall 2017, only adding to the delicate romanticism of season’s past. Although not “sexy” by definition, with Victorian necklines and flowy silhouettes these designs spoke to a free-spirited audience. Models walked the runway to the music of the Oscar Winning movie Moonlight and Lion as they donned a free-flowing hairstyle to match the mood. Guido Palau, Global Creative Director for Redken, explains the inspiration for the look below and gives us the steps to get the look.

Although the clothes were a classic showing of Dolce & Gabbana fashion, animal prints, lace, sequins and velvet full of flair – the models were something of a twist. Non-models in the form of influencers, celebrity offspring and even royalty graced the stage for a show like no other. With a live performance from singer Austin Mahone, these “models” sauntered down the leopard printed catwalk in all ages and sizes, giving an attainable vibe to the collection. Individuality seemed to be the theme at most shows this year and when it came to the hair, Dolce & Gabbana was no exception.
