The tents may have come down in New York, but the fashion crew have moved to Italy where the models and the beauty teams continue to perform their magic. Redken Creative Consultant Guido, a fashion week staple, has hunkered down in Milan and is continuing to create perfect styles to complement the fashion for the high end Italian designers.
Lead hair designers Creighton Bowman and Matthew Monzon (for René Furterer) created graphic shapes with a heavy fringe for the Kate Spade New York Fall 2012 Collection shown last week during New York Fashion Week.
Andrea Pomerantz Lustig has been a superstar beauty editor (Glamour and before that Cosmopolitan) for almost twenty years. I got a chance to speak to her during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week about the best way salon professionals should approach an editor. "Today it's easier than ever," she told me before the interview. "It's a great time for talented professionals." Make sure to watch to the end to learn more about her book coming out in August: "How To Look Expensive, A Beauty Editor's Secrets To Getting Gorgeous Without Breaking The Bank."
Philip Pelusi of Tela Beauty Organics shared with us his hair design for the GORGEOUS Venexiana fall/winter 2012 collection shown at New Yorkshire Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. His romantic Updo had an old world feel with multiple textures and a defined center parting.
