INTERVIEW | Label M x Jacob Birge

Amongst the chaos backstage getting ready for the Jacob Birge show, we spoke to Label M head stylist, Effie.

Hi Effie what was you main inspiration and concept behind the look?

If you have a look at the pieces from Jacob Birge’s collection you can see that there is a lot of wooden beading in it, I decided to take this element straight away and place it at the back of the head. Jacob wanted quite an androgynous feel around it so I went with a structured gel side parting but adding a feminine element with the strands at the front. This to me gives the hairstyle a great contrast.

So what products have you used for this look?

I have used Label M volume mousse whilst drying it and then our Hold and Gloss hairspray to give it a glossy look and strength to the whole look. That’s it, just two products!

What do you like about this look?

I like the fact that this look can be really commercial but I can also see a very self-assured woman walking down the catwalk with this hairstyle. You could also picture a twelve year old with this hairstyle also.

HAIR TREND | Rohmir

Today we went backstage to see the looks for the Rohmir show being pieced together by Label M head stylist, Richard.

Hi Richard can you explain the concept and behind the hairstyles for todays show?

We have gone for a sixties theme with the bubble rise at the back. We have jelled a segment of the front in order to make it look like a black hairband to go with our theme.

What products have you used for this look?

We have used Label M hair gel for the front in order to create a black band effect, hairspray in order to hold everything together after a lot of volume prep.

What do you like best about the look?

I like how it is sixties but with a twist as we are making it look more textured than it would have originally. We have done this by using texturising spray.

Thank you Richard!

SPONSOR| Hair Trend SS14: Laid Back Up Do as created by Toni&Guy

The last day at Fashion Scout and we take a look back at some of the hair trends that have made an impact on the catwalk this week. With backstage access and a sneak peak at hair and make-up preparations before the show, Fashion Scout have the heads up on what trends and styles are set to be big this season.

The laid back up do, a different take on the classic pin-up styles, and a world away from the boring wedding look graced the catwalk in collections from the likes of Rohmir and Ji Cheng. Both took a classic pinned up style from the 40s or 20s reinventing it with a more laid back and teased approach.

Ji Cheng’s interpretation of a 1920s opera singer, took referencing from the traditional Geisha, instead twists braids and buns to create modern shapes for a style that is relaxed yet sophisticated.  Rohmir’s  take on 40s/50s pin up uses the same approach to laid back cool as hair seen at Ji Cheng but incorporates more volume for a look adds flirty fun to an otherwise serious up do.
