Facebook Tweet This Fashion Week

All this talk of fashion week has got me thinking about next season I’m excited to see what trends designers have for us this year. Models during New York Fashion Week worked the masculine look with slicked back hair at Victoria Beckham, bouffant up do’s at Diane Von Fustenberg and retro waves were a big hit at Zac Posen, so I’m looking forward to seeing what London can do. The Brits definitely do it best!

But what about models and their off duty style, they always look perfect whether they’re working catwalk glamour or off duty grunge. During the madness of fashion week the model’s hair will have to fight off damage from heat styling, changes in climate as they travel from city to city and general over styling and this is the time when a model needs her hair to look it’s best and nothing less. When I’m was working backstage  I make sure all the models use Shu Uemura Silk Bloom Restorative Treatment, it contains Argan Oil which helps to repair the structure of damaged hair and soothe any flaws whilst vitamin e helps build strength, body and shine.

Off duty, most models will use minimal styling. Chanel Iman, Karlie Kloss and Jessica Stam are huge fans of the top knot an effortless style that is perfect for the girl on the go. The secret to perfecting the top knot is height. If your ponytail doesn’t sit high enough on your head it won’t work.

When model’s aren’t sporting top knots they’re usually opting for that ‘I just got out of bed’ look. Kate Moss and Dree Hemingway are huge fans of this leaving the hair to dry naturally is the best way to achieve this look although if unlike Kate and Dree you’re not lucky enough to have naturally perfect hair then a curling tong is your new best friend.
