Show inspiration

Early 90's Peter Lindberg images. Soft volume. An adrogenous look. Masculine look on feminine girls

Look Created

The idea was to build texture, BY prepping the hair with a mix of volume mousse, dry shampoo and sea salt spray. Hair was parted into two and wrapped around before placing an alice band around the head and pinning hair in with pins. FInish with hairspray. The idea was to get a tight androgenous feel with volume in the centre and narrow on the sides.

Session Kit

Hairdryer, grips and hair pins.

Avsh Alom Gur

Inspired by 1950’s upholstery – fun oversized prints, using a palette of bold primary shades of predominantly blue and red, taking reference from Karate belts. Rigid fabrics, cinched-in waists and voluminous layered skirts achieve the perfect 50’s silhouette.

Show Inspiration

A 1940’s holiday in Capri, think Gina Lollobrigida and Eva Gardener, colourful head scarves and retro prints – a ladylike beach holiday.

Get The Look

The hair was prepped with label.m Volume Mousse, brushing the hair forward, to help secure into a top knot at the front of the head, leaving out a fringe section. The ponytail was tonged and brushed out heavily. The ponytail was then pinned into a very natural, loose curl piled on the head towards the front for a very 40’s appeal. Accessory details such as head scarves or small clips were added for a retro effect.
