Rudi Lewis, for Barex Italiana, designed breathtaking Samurai styled buns for the Monique Lhullier fall/winter 2010 collection shown this week during New York Fashion Week.

The "Far East Scultpures" as Rudi described the looks, were designed by weaving a long satin rope throughout the braided bun.

"We're pulling hair high and tight and pinning it up front," said Rudi.  "The collection is very embroidered and detailed and we wanted hair that reflected that."

Lewis used Barex Volumizzante Spray to drench the hair,  GlossHairspray to keep hair slicked back, added shine with BarexTricolife Serum and held it altogether with Barex Stronghold no-gas hairspray.
