Beauty on the runway: Up-do with sculptural style
Want to capture the up-do worn by the models during the Zac Posen fall 2012 runway show?
John Frieda Global Creative Consultant Luigi Murenu created the style and his vision seamlessly blended the timeless glamour of the 1950s and the allure of Japanese sophistication. The result: a sculptural style with a twist of couture.
”For sleek, flawless up-dos with clean lines, I wanted the look to evoke not just a different era, but a special cultural experience as well,” Murenu said. “The structure and craftsmanship of the styles are meant to suggest an aspirational time and place. My goal was to make the models look like what I envisioned a modern geisha to be, infused with the sleek simplicity of 1950s Hollywood glamour.”
Posen’s inspiration evoked the exotic, delicate elegance of Japanese architecture. Inspired by the minimalist yet impactful aesthetic of Japan’s structural designs, the innovative collection puts a modern spin on traditional silhouettes.
Murenu offers this step-by-step process so you can get the look at home:
Step 1: On damp hair work through 10 drops of the new John Frieda Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control and then thoroughly blow-dry to smooth hair and fight frizz
Step 2: Brush hair into a high ponytail. Pull hair parallel from the outer corner of the eye back to get the perfect height. Secure ponytail with an elastic and secure the end of the ponytail with a small rubber band, leaving about 3-4″ from the end
Step 3: Spray hair with John Frieda Luxurious Volume Extra Hold Hairspray
Step 4: Roll the ponytail under and to the left to create a semi side bun, and pin to the securing elastic
Step 5: Flat iron the remaining 3″ of ponytail, and position in an upward direction – it should have a modern Geisha feel. Apply John Frieda Full Repair Touch Up Flyaway Tamer to smooth out flyaways
Luigi’s Backstage Tip: “Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control is a staple in my kit. Not only do I use it on damp hair to tame frizz, but I also use it right before models walk the runway to keep styles smooth and extra shiny,” Murenu said.
What it costs: Luxurious Volume Extra Hold Hairspray, $6.99; Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control and Full Repair Touch Up Flyaway Tamer, $9.99 each
