New York Fashion Week fall/winter 2015 runways were rampant with 1970s-inspired looks. Sequin gowns, chunky tweed jackets and graphic accessories were complemented by ’70s hairstyles with modern finishes. The retro vibe manifested in bold center parts, great lengths, and natural movement and texture.
At the Joie show, lead hairstylist Maranda created a long, voluminous effect by applying extensions, then bending hair slightly using hot tools and building volume with products by Kevin.Murphy. “We went for an Ossie Clark London moment, with long, cool textured hair, all parted down the middle,” Maranda says.
Tamara McNaughton for Cutler/Redken Salon took a more undone approach to the look. “The Frame Denim girl has a relaxed attitude and bohemian sensibility,” McNaughton says.
At Karen Walker, Bumble and bumble stylist Jordan M. found inspiration from the BBC series Sapphire & Steele that aired in the late ’70s. Models emulated the cool girl of the hippie era with center and natural side parts, airy curls and a glamorous, high-polish finish.
Oribe stylists tapped into the retro mood with similar looks at multiple shows. To complement Kempner’s ’70s-inspired collection, Ramona Eschbach created soft, natural waves that went perfectly with the models’ Studio 54-ready ensembles.
