Ahead
of this afternoon's Lulu Liu catwalk, Fashion Scout caught up with
Toni&Guy’s Chie Sato to talk about what inspired the styles
that are going to be walking down the runway alongside Lulu’s
creations.
The
garments shown by the designer this year feature a number of
contrasting lines creating a pleated effect with a lot of texture.
The hair to accompany this look is no different. Small strands of
hair were pulled up in the front of the style forming soft, cat-ear
like arches separated by a large strand of flat hair. The rest of the
style is composed by a ponytail tied with a criss-crossed piece of
fabric, all of which creates an illusion of lines and maintains the
theme proposed by the designer.
Whilst
still keeping the style wearable and feminine, the stylist also
highlights a play in the texture, using Label M. Hold & Gloss
spray and Label M.Texturising Volume Spray to give the style its
finishing touch. “The middle bit and the back are going to be very
wet, the sides are going to be dry,” explains Chie. “So it’s a
very different juxtaposition of the textures against each other,
which reflects what the designer is using.”
When
asked about Toni&Guy’s continuing support of emerging designers
and their participation with Fashion Scout, Chie highlights the
brand's deep connection with forward fashion. “London is very
special for us. When you go to New York or Milan, it is composed by
big designers that are already established and look the way they
look," he says. “Whilst
London is still avant-Garde, still free when creating the clothes, so
we can work the same way with the hair. There is a lot of freedom and
inspiration.”
