Hair There and Everywhere

around the world of hair with richard kavanagh

NYFW - NOMIA

Nomia is a pretty sweet label based in manhattan designed by a young brooklynite.

the lines are clean and graphic and totally wearable.

i wanted to create a really simple graphic look that felt quite androgynous but still made the girls look sophisticated.

with a really strong low side parting and a severe sweep across the forehead, the highly polished look felt like a cross between 40s prepschool boy and elegant hipster.

to add an extra graphic element we added easilengths hair extensions to each of the girls ponytails and then cut the tails blunt and square.

redken rootful, fashion work 12 and glass were essential in creating this look.

NYFW - TRIBUNE STANDARD

described by harper's bazaar as the new guard at new york fashion week, tribune standard is a fledgling label taking flight.

and this, their 5th showing was a literal interpretation of taking flight.

with pheasant and feather prints in golds and taupe, clothes cut to make women look beautiful, frocks fringed with feather beading, i was tasked the task of creating the hair to top off the look...

my idea was to make it a futuristic olive oyl with references to the 20s and 40s chinoiserie and accessorised with a tortoiseshell hair comb.

my team really had to step it up a gear to make sure each girls face was lifted into catlike beauty with a super tight and polished wet look chignon at the crown.

i needed lots of redken rootful, guts, hardwear gel, and forceful 23 hairspray to make this hair look schmick as.

the big buzz came when tribune standard was asked to ring the closing bell at the new york stock exchange to officially mark the end of new york fashion week.

100,000,000 people watch live on cnbc while tawfik (the designer) and 6 models tolled the bell.

a hundred million!!!!

sheesh

this is my new york

you have to ask yourself the question - what is a turkey doing wandering around downtown manhattan?

here i am in new york for fashion week, fall/winter 12.

just over 2 and a half miles down the east side from where i stay is battery park and the statten island ferry.

it's where you can go see the lady of liberty. 

she's pretty big.

and free as a bird.

i think you have to pay to witness her liberty however...

running home from my very free viewing (from a distance) of the statue de la liberte and nearly ran headlong into this guy!

a turkey, roaming freely around the cars.

i also saw some other pretty cool stuff... see?

TRIBUNE STANDARD - THE NEW GUARD AT #NYFW

tomorrow, sunday 12th february, new york.

tribune standard, the label that's making waves as the new guard of fashion at new york fashion week will show.

i'll be putting these little babies in the girls' hair but you'll have to wait and see what else...

the clothes are really truly beautiful.

prints and textures that are so wearable, modern and yet timeless. elegant yet individual and even slightly quirky.

i've got a good feeling about this one.

tawfik is not just a man, he is the man

stay tuned for the looks, the frocks, the coats, the tops, the skirts and the hair...

Robyn Lawley By Gianluca Santoro for Black Magazine

you simply wouldn't believe how much hair this girl has.

you may remember robyn from the incredibly gorgeous italian vogue cover and editorial featuring 3 plus size models shot by steven meisel. decadent and sexy are the first two words that spring to mind.

and that was what made her perfect for this shoot depicting two sides of the dominatrix.

gianluca wanted her to have two distinct looks, one for in studio and one for on location.

the location hair was marcel waved on a really small iron using redken hot sets 22 before being brushed out and then pinned into a loose bob with flyaways and dirty texture.

when we got into the studio, the hair was gelled back, braided and wrapped up on top of the head in a very 'sound of music' inspired do.

the rope tying was quite something. really... the books that guy had...

SHANINA SHAIK BY NICK LEARY FOR SUNDAY MAGAZINE

it was so nice to have the opportunity to work with the gorgeous shanina, winner of australia's make me a supermodel.

nick and carly wanted to make her look effortlessly beautiful and stylish in her knickers while keeping it timelessly fashionable.

her hair was blowdried with redken satinwear 02 to add smothness and shine before being set on a curling iron with new iron shape 11 for shine and control.

Is your hair product the genuine article?

I'm sitting in a workshop in Melbourne and I've just discovered an alarming fact. When tested, 80% of products purchased from unverified sources (non professional salons and online sites) were fakes. They look and smell the same. But they're not. Support your local business. For the sake of a couple of bucks wouldn't you rather keep your stylist in business and be secure in the knowledge your purchasing the genuine article?

Thanks. Rant over.
