Redken's Runway Report from Paris: BALENCIAGA & NINA RICCI with hair by Guido
Kicking off Paris Fashion Week today, Redken Creative Consultant Guido started off with a bang in the city of lights creating two effortlessly beautifully feminine hairstyles at both the Balenciaga and the Nina Ricci shows.

At Balenciaga, the look was a naturally centered part with a bit of texture on the ends inspired by the modern woman for a style that is “very modern, easy, sophisticated – like a woman would wear her hair.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant. And, the first few models in the show had platinum blonde hair to make a strong statement on the runway, true to the design house’s Fashion Week reputation!

At Nina Ricci, the vibe was all about very feminine, 60s inspired half-up, half-down look with hair softly blow-dried. “I was inspired by the 60s, actresses like Brigitte Bardot or a little like a woman in a David Hamilton photo who was very feminine and soft.” –Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
