Very few shows at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week offer the magnificent stylings for both men and women on the same runway. One of the few (and one of my favorites) was the MONARCHY Collection... and it offered the best of both worlds (meaning the worlds of hair and fashion). 13 stylists, led by Sean James for Rusk, worked fast and furiously on these models, many of whom walked in with just 5 minutes for prep!
AMERICAN CREW launched its new Trichology Hair Recovery System this week at a press event in NYC. Held at the very cool Standard Hotel in the Meat Packing District, the American Crew team recreated a classic barbershop and demonstrated the new products on two hot male models.
Thomas Dunkin and the Sebastian styling team made several appearances during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York, but my absolute FAVORITE Dunkin silhouette appeared at the Diego Binetti collection. The Grecian-inspired imperfect design featured haphazard braids placed in an asymmetrical pattern that were both individual and carefree. The hair was as unique and beautiful as the fashion.
Juan Carlos Obando show was held off site at Milk Studios on W. 15th Street. There I met with the famed and fabulous Didier Malige who was working with an army of fantastic hairstylists (all members of Number 4 High Performance Hair Care’s Style Bureau) to create a very textured, exciting and undone silhouette.
J Mendel is a fave show for all the top editors, stylists and buyers. The fashions at this gallery show were breathtaking and the hair, designed by Odile Gilbert (for Moroccanoil), was full, wide and totally perfect.

MODERN SALON Guest Blogger Courtney King of Oliver Salon in Boise, Idaho, was recently invited by Redken to cover Fashion Week shows from behind the scenes and front of house. Here are her thoughts on the experience:
Every encounter has been something special… from that first handshake at an event to the pedi-cab ride after a press conference to our “air kiss” at his first tent show. I have grown to expect wonderful things from Christian Siriano….
The Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 Collection was breathtaking from head to toe. Orlando Pita using Moroccanoil went ABOVE AND BEYOND creating magnificent hair designs for the magnificent fashions. These low twisted chignons were accented with long strips of seed-beads that were subtly laced throughout the hair. The intricate forms were an homage to the beautiful texture and patterns in Japanese baskets. The powerful runway lights lit up the hair without taking away from the fashion. This was WOW hair! Bravo Orlando.
One of the favorite shows for fashionistas during MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK is RODARTE. A coveted ticket, this show is always a standing room event. For the Sping/Summer 2010 season Rodarte was sponsored by Aveda, led by Odile Gilbert and supported by Aveda lead Dennis Clendennen.
