Redken Creative Consultant Guido creates memorable out-of-the box hair for Jean Paul Gaultier's show every season - and the style he conceptualized for yesterday's Fall 2013 collection in Paris certainly didn't disappoint. Inspired in part by model/musician Leslie Winer and created to fit a "patchwork" themed collection, Guido put short wigs in contrasting colors right on top of hair that was left down and blow-dried straight for a fun, unique punky style.
"Jean-Paul works with his gut instinct - he originally said the word 'patchwork' and we thought of this idea of putting wigs on top, like a girl that had maybe colored her hair but let the roots grow out.
We chose the wigs from four different colors (black, brunette, red, blond) based on what created the best contrast with the color she has. I then personalized the wig to each girl with additional cutting and styling with control addict 28 - I needed a strong spray to help overdirect and create the shape and choppy effect. It's a fun way of adding a kind of extended bang- I sought to make the girls look kind of cute, punky, boyish and more rebellious, and it certainly looks a little 90's. Wigs are great in fashion shows as you're not going to get all the models to cut their hair, but short creates the right look for some collections in particular, like this one today."
-Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
Redken Products Used:
Create the Look:
1. Start with clean, dry hair - either naturally straight or dampen and blow-dry naturally curlier hair to get it straight with a bit of natural bend in the hair.
2. Apply full frame 07 all-over volumizing mousse to clean, dry hair at the crown only, working section by section to ensure it's evenly and completely dispersed. Comb through and blow-dry the part you applied the mousse to.
3. Apply control addict 28 high control hairspray to the hair and attach the wig. Finish with additional control addict 28 to create a piece-y, choppy end result.
