E D I T O R ’S L E T T E R Dearest Runwayers, Yes. It’s that time again. The time to look at all things hair-related at the world’s Fashion Weeks and put them under the microscope. From the top shows on the catwalk to the tutorials, trends and know-how that you need to know to be in the know, here at Runway, we’ve got it all covered. And for this Spring/Summer 2016 issue we have prepared something a little bit special (if we may say so). We have an interview with hair supremo Guido Palau – Most Wanted Session Stylist 2015 no less! – talking about his favourite moments and essential kit for the season. We have cornered myriad stylists to ask what the new season means to them; and we have also gotten to grips with all the intricate details of how to reconstruct looks like the pros. In other words, we have all joined forces to bring you the best the season has to offer, inspired by the teams that are at the front line creating them. Because, while the full and final looks that are sent down the runway are, of course, important, we beauty geeks know that the real action goes down backstage. That’s really where the magic happens! So join us for your exclusive access behind the scenes… Yours in faithful backstage service,

BOY WONDER JW ANDERSON

“INTERGALACTIC OLYMPICS” and “empowered femininity” were mentioned in the show notes this season at Jay Dubs (as he is affectionately known in the industry), so how did it translate? In the form of some serious styling statements: leg o’mutton sleeves; balloon trousers; ruffled necklines; midriff-exposing bandeau bras; and bodycon dresses layered over lace cycling shorts. Met to rapturous reviews, the JW effect is in full swing and he is fast becoming the darling of London Fashion Week. To complement the sci-fi feel and inspired by the collection’s spirals, L’Oréal Professionnel’s Anthony Turner created beautiful rope braids. “The S/S16 woman is bourgeois, expensive – and yet so perfect she feels strange and otherworldly,” he explained. Sounds like our kind of woman. Spring/Summer 2016 RUNWAY

IT WAS ONE HECK of a show for Alexander Wang’s swan song as designer for Balenciaga. Sure, there were his traditional sports-luxe touches, but the rest of the collection was decidedly more feminine. There were ruffles, lace, feathers and delicate fabrics, all exclusively in white to show his audience they could still expect the unexpected. While the fashion might have been a different but beautiful direction for both brand and designer, the beauty look remained true to the minimalist aesthetic. Styled by Redken’s Guido, he described it as a “simple, minimalistic look, but still very modern and fresh”. With Demna Gvasalia, founder at Vetements and previous designer at Maison Margiela now taking over, there is a new chapter emerging for the brand, but this season was a moment to behold in the design house’s history. 08

HIGH STREET, HIGH FASHION ANYA HINDMARCH

WHAT’S THAT WE SEE? John Lewis “Never Knowingly Undersold” bags? Natwest and Mothercare logos in graphic prints on accessories and playsuits? Boots (the chemist) boots? Having previously had collections emblazoned with household names such as Daz and Kellogg’s, there is seemingly no brand that Anya Hindmarch won’t zero in on in her quest to be the most quirky and inspiring accessories designer on the London fashion circuit. Her collection called for a decidedly British approach to hair from the Hersheson’s salon team, working with L’Oréal Professionnel, in the form of either ballet school buns or tidy ponytails worn sleek and sporty. Hurrah for Anya and that good old British eccentricity! Spring/Summer 2016 RUNWAY

IF YOU WANT TO know how to make it feel like a breezy summer’s day on a dull showery morning, ask Peter Pilotto and co-designer Christopher de Vos, who transported their audience to sunnier climes with their warm and radiant collection. Sending a flurry of sorbet shades down the runway, it was a mouth-watering tonal palette. Not ones to shy away from sticking to what they do best, they worked some signature prints into this collection that included asymmetric hemlines and necklines, waterfall chiffon culottes and fabrics that were so wispy and delicate they were breaths of fresh air. L’Oréal Professionnel’s Anthony Turner called the hair look he was working on “hair in a hurry”, meaning wafty hair slicked down the middle in a clean centre parting for sleek movement. Practical and pretty, you’ll want to wear these everyday. Well, we can but wish… 10

OUT OF AFRICA VALENTINO

LOOKING AT A Valentino show you cannot help but be swept-up by the graceful theatre of it all, as you are transported into a red carpet world of floor-skimming A-list dresses. This season, designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli looked to the plains of Africa for inspiration to put a new spin on a formula that they know works. So gowns were long and floaty, but with tribal tie-dye prints, or safari scenes with elephants, tigers and giraffes, embellished with feathered fringing around neck lines and cuffs as well as Maasai Mara-inspired tribal beading featured on bags and belts. Backstage, Redkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guido was translating the show references into some beautiful braids that were a new direction for the hair styling for this show. This call of the wild is going to be heard a lot this year. Spring/Summer 2016 RUNWAY

PONDERING HOW to bring your make-up look up-to-date for S/S16? Then invest in some blue eye make-up! Whether it’s a statement mascara to load up lashes, as seen at Mary Katrantzou or an azure liner to rim peepers à la Jonathan Saunders, blue is indeed the colour.

CANDY AISLE

An abundance of mouth-watering candy colours were everywhere this season as models waited to walk out onto the runways. The pastel palette is an extension of the pink love affair seen on the catwalks last year, so branch out into sorbet lemons shades, cool mint hues or icy blue tones for your new wardrobe.

GROUP HUG

ALL THAT SPARKLES

When Vogue’s Sarah Mower picks you out for great things, you know you’re doing something right. Such is the buzz around Roberta Einer, prompting a LFW presentation that had high-profile industry names cooing with praise over her diaphanous dresses and candy coloured sequins, with hair led by Vanessa Essack from Paul Edmonds for L’Oréal Professionnel. And with a year at Balmain under her belt before she even graduated from the University of Westminster, you can see why she’s making an impression. Get in quick…

The fashion world was stunned when it was announced that Jonathan Saunders’s label was being dissolved after this – outstanding – S/S16 collection. In what is sure to not be his last time being seen on the catwalks (his talent is too great to not re-emerge), here is designer Jonathan with his gaggle of gals backstage. Come back soon!

THOSE WITH FINE, frizzy or slightly unkempt of hair texture can rejoice! This is their season – the season of The Wisp. That is to say, the beginning of an era where the imperfections of hair are not just celebrated but are actually manufactured. A lot to do with the texture of the hair as much as the style itself, this is a trend that has been bubbling under the surface for a few seasons now, but really come to the fore for S/S16. From the messy ponytails by Neville’s Stephen Low for L’Oréal Professionnel at Eudon Choi, to the ruffled, weathered up-dos at Alexander McQueen and Tory Burch and the dishevelled lengths Peter Pilotto, J JS Lee, Coach and Barbara Casasola, the idea was to create a style and then deconstruct it so that it didn’t looked too new or overly perfect; to make it imperfect – but still supremely beautiful. Backstage at Peter Pilotto, Anthony Turner for L’Oréal Professionnel wanted a hint of sexiness: “Pulling pieces out at the back created a 3D effect that was designed to make it look like the girl was in motion, having done her hair in the utmost hurry.” Sure, these looks were the effortless accent to the high fashion going down the runways, but they are also the look that can be the most easily achieved by real women at home. Could this be the most democratic trend of all? Quite possibly. Who says everything has to be perfect any way?

HAIR Adam Reed at Percy & Reed for L’Oréal Professionnel THE LOOK A classic textured wave moved from worn-in to something with a more luxe finish HOW Taking a hint of ’70s inspiration from the main collection, Adam created texture by applying L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pli to hair with his fingers in

order not to “over-product” the lengths. Braiding hair in three sections, he let it dry naturally before releasing the plaits in the line-up. By celebrating the natural parting of each model and using just a smidgen of extra Pli to tame flyaways, Adam was able to achieve his goal of a new beachy wave that was personal, natural and luxurious.

WHETHER WE realise it or not, we all accessorise. Be it a simple piece of jewellery, an accent of clothing to make the most of an outfit, or a cool new bag, there are certain things we do to elevate an everyday outfit, and this is exactly what stylists were doing backstage with the hair looks – accessorising to the max. Championed by Redken’s global creative director, Guido, these looks were meant to make an impact. “Just as we’ve been seeing at so many shows this season, it’s these small details and nuances that really make a simple hairdo new and modern,” he explained. Take, for example, the oversized bows he tied onto a ponytail at Oscar de la Renta or the satin gold variety artfully placed atop chignons at Loewe. So simple, but oh-so beautiful. In other instances, it was a case of one just not being enough, with multiple adornments piled onto hair at Marc Jacobs and Alberta Ferretti. Ornate crowns made an appearance at Dolce & Gabbana and Miu Miu, while a more straightforward approach was taken at Anya Hindmarch and Mary Katrantzou, using a scarf to contain hair around the nape in a cool style statement. The most playful take on the trend, however, was the look at Ashish by Ali Pirzadeh for L’Oréal Professionnel, who sprinkled hair with sequins and glitter for a My Little Pony meets Studio 54 feel. Go forth and embellish.

focusing on the roots. Use fingers to create a short centre-parting, then using a round brush, blow-dry the hair smooth, lifting hair at the crown to create volume. Gather into a low, loose ponytail and secure with elastic. Pull little bits of hair at the hairline to create a soft, drooped shape. Finish by loosely tying a ribbon around the elastic.

FRINGES. LOVE THEM or hate them, you’re going to be seeing a lot of them in the new season, cropping up on the catwalks from New York to Paris, they are a hair statement here to stay. How you wear them, however, is up to you. Go short and choppy as seen at Prada and Christopher Kane, or long and shaggy as seen at JW Anderson, Vinti Andrews and Calvin Klein. Or simply wear them straight, neat and cut to the eyebrow as seen at LFW favourites Palmer-Harding and Topshop Unique. Backstage at the shows it was the choice for the hairstylist to choose whether to add in a faux fringe, or enhance one already sported by the model in their chair, the important thing to note was that the treatment was individual to the girl and was crafted to suit her style. Speaking backstage at Prada, Guido explained: “I cut each of the girls’ bangs to frame their face, so each girl really has her own style. It works as part of being a Prada girl is embracing the moment.” Backstage at Topshop Unique, Anthony Turner for L’Oréal Professionnel was singing from the same hymn sheet – “for this show it’s really important that each girl’s hair is styled to suit her individuality”. The message is simple: go get some bangs for your buck!

Sometimes, it isn’t about translating a look back into something a girl on the high street will crave – it’s about illustrating a fantasy, as seen with Vin + Omi’s futuristic yet sophisticated tribe. “They wanted to express how we, as modern beings, would look if everything was taken away from us,” explained Daniel Galvin’s Joel Goncalves. “After trying lots of looks, the team decided along with Vin + Omi that the idea of creating a futuristic mohawk would showcase a recognisable yet modern and sophisticated tribal look.” This meant a line of five ponytails – the top two with 30-inch hair pieces to exaggerate the Mohawk – tied into knots, models’ hair was painted black and tubular wooden headpiece structures added a dash of drama.

This celebration of emerging talent has been responsible for nurturing and supporting many big names on the London fashion map – think Louise Gray, Gareth Pugh, Peter Pilotto, JW Anderson and Roksanda Ilincic. Ahead of the September show dates, Lee had pushed a crowdfunding campaign to “continue to support the next generation of designers”, raising £25,000 to help host a four-day schedule of catwalk shows and presentations from the hottest emerging fashion talent in the British capital. And there to support this important reemergence was L’Oréal Professionnel, working with top stylist Adam Reed ( fresh from his win as Most Wanted Hair Icon of 2015) on half a dozen of the On|Off shows. Other stylists there included the Headmasters Pro Artistic Team and Electric’s Mark Woolley. “On|Off is a celebration of emerging fashion

talent and forges invaluable relationships between designers at the start of their careers with the wealth of talent that sits within the L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio of hairdressers,” explains Monica Teodoro, general manager at L’Oréal Professionnel. “The partnership not only highlights the link between hair and fashion but also nurtures and upskills the next generation of hairdressing stars, bringing priceless session skills directly back to the salon.” “LFW is an essential education tool,” stresses Adam. “It encompasses being at the forefront of styling, trends and working under pressure – it keeps stylists at the top of their game and fashion and makes great news for clients. When I first started working behind the scenes at LFW I thought that I knew a lot; never did I think that it would offer me ongoing inspiration and education – I have learnt more about dressing hair backstage than anywhere else!” On|Off presents an incredible opportunity to hairdressers from across L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio salons in the UK to assist backstage. We caught up with a few of those busy stylists to get their thoughts on the value of working LFW...

GRACE CAMPBELL GEORGE’S HAIRDRESSING, LEICESTER ON|OFF SHOWS

Clio Peppiatt and Manuel Facchini. WHAT DO YOUR CLIENTS THINK ABOUT YOU BEING INVOLVED WITH LFW?

“I loved bringing back styling techniques to the salon to show them different looks on a day-to-day basis. The most current trend that most clients are looking for is the really undone Alexa Chung-inspired waves that they struggle to achieve at home. Learning techniques such as ‘dread-drying’ really helped.”

Clio Peppiatt

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCTS TO WORK WITH?

ELLENORA DEAN PERCY & REED EAST, LONDON

“Either Tecni.ART Next Day Hair or Pli from L’Oréal Professionnel. I love how versatile each of these products are. Whether you’re going for the ‘I woke up like this’ look or something more red carpet, both work well.”

“The knowledge and experience I gained was incredible. Working with such influential people made me so much more confident as a stylist in the session world and in salon. I would recommend it to anyone who’s passionate about the hair industry and about creating outstanding looks”

Clio Peppiatt, Gyunel, Manuel Facchini, On|Off Presents, Vinti Andrews and Yii. WHAT DO YOUR CLIENTS THINK ABOUT YOU BEING INVOLVED WITH LFW?

“My clients have always loved it. It lets them know that I’m in tune with not only what’s current but what’s coming up.” WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW THAT YOU WORKED ON?

“The ‘Band of Outsiders’ we did for Gyunel. When it was created for the test it was a simple move forward from the ‘ghetto braid’, using bands in place of braiding. But by the time we got stuck into the show prep it had evolved into a spectacular variation of interlocking sections and bands, some adorned with metal rings. Simple silhouettes, beautiful intricate detail!”

Gyunel

“Working on a LFW show excites and energises a hairstylist, it teaches you things you would never learn any other way. Any stylist would be more confident in salon, more excited to bring back what they have learnt and not only share with other staff but also with clients. Everyone’s a winner!”

Manuel Facchini, Wilson PK and Tuesday Night Band Practice. WHAT SKILLS HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM LFW THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN BACK TO THE SALON?

“Adam Reed taught us how to create a high ponytail by splitting it and putting two ponytails together. I also learnt how to ‘dread dry’, which is a relaxed blow-dry. Hair equipment is vital and without certain tools, looks created at Fashion Week would not be possible.” WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE PRODUCTS TO WORK WITH?

It’s got to be L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pli. It achieves everything, from holding and styling, creating shine and removing a build-up of product in the hair. I also love Next Day Hair; I love the effect it had and how it felt in the hair. It does exactly what is says on the bottle and it gives you that next day hair feel.

“I would definitely encourage a salon owner to send staff to London Fashion Week. Ensure stylists are comfortable in performing out of their comfort zone, as it can be challenging. I think that working at Fashion Week encourages stylists to re-evaluate their standards and the level they are working at, which in turn improves standards within salons”

DAVIDE SPINELLI TREVOR SORBIE SALONS, COVENT GARDEN ON|OFF SHOWS

Clio Peppiatt and Manuel Facchini. WHAT SKILLS HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM LFW?

“I’m learning to master super quick styles and getting much more comfortable with creating editorial looks for younger clientele, which I’ve definitely been using in the salon. I’ve also had to learn how to work under pressure.”

“My clients love it – they want to know all about it when they’re sat in my chair, it’s a very proud feeling to be able to share the excitement.”

“Fashion Week is a fantastic experience for all team members. It’s a great way to meet other stylists and share ideas – there’s so much diversity in the industry so it’s great to experiment in as many areas as possible!” 38

THIRTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD THOMAS HUNTER TEMPERLEY is creative director at Gallagher Horner in Glasgow. While many hairdressers assisting the leads at LFW are younger salon stylists hungry for session experience, Thomas has taken a slightly different path. He tells us his story… “I have been hairdressing since I was 19. I love my job, my clients and the amazing team of people whom I work with in the salon. “I joined Gallagher Horner more than a year ago as a creative stylist, and was recently promoted to creative director after a year of hard work developing and growing my column while attending L’Oréal Professionnel education courses, assisting at Graduate Fashion Week, auditioning and winning a place on the L’Oréal Professionel ID ARTIST programme and with in-salon education. Before joining the salon I worked as a lecturer teaching hairdressing to college students but I was torn between a career in education and the never experienced excitement of assisting at LFW or session work. I decided to

follow my instinct and pursue a more challenging creative role. Working as part of a creative team and as an ID ARTIST at LFW and ID ARTIST Live has been the highlight of my career. During S/S16, I assisted Adam Reed at the On|Off Shows for designers Gyunel, Vinti Andrews and Yii. I also assisted Adam at Barbara Casasola. Working at LFW is a privilege and an amazing opportunity only made possible for me by the salon directors and L’Oréal Professionnel. “Working at LFW has allowed me to develop and enhance my hairdressing skills in a team environment. And being able to work with Adam Reed was a dream come true. I love his approach to styling; he exudes passion and effortless creative finesse for hair. It has boosted my confidence in creating beautiful hair with a high fashion influence. My clients are always eager to hear about my time at LFW, too – it’s a pleasure to be able to talk about my experiences and share the latest trends with them. “ Creative opportunities are integral to any salon looking to enhance their business while offering staff career progression. Sharing my experiences with the salon team is the best way to give back while motivating the team and promoting the salon. Do it!”

Question:

How many shows can one man do?

Answer: A lot! Guido runs the fashion week gauntlet more than most, and with an impressive roster of S/S16 shows, let’s have a run down of his schedule. Warning: just reading this might exhaust you…

New York

THE GIRL

“Peyton Knight is a new model and backstage at Alexander Wang I cut her hair into a shaggy ’70s bob. It was very long before, but she was up for a haircut and so we did it there and then! She is a brand new girl and it’s so exciting to see someone just starting out and being brave enough to do something radical. Now I see her everywhere and she is starring in the Gucci campaign. As soon as I cut it, I knew it felt right. It made her distinctive and it really suited her. I really love doing extreme transformations like this.”

THE CITIES

“New York is my favourite fashion week city because it’s home. When I finish the shows I can be at home, be with my cat and I find that very comforting. I also love being in Paris, I never get tired of the beauty of Paris. I love to wander around the antique shops on the Left Bank in St. Germain. I collect antiques, so if I do have a couple hours I will go there and get lost in that world.”

THE PROP

“I generally love an accessory and there were lots to play with this season. I loved the bow at Lanvin, and at Dolce & Gabbana – it was such a beautiful, feminine show – and I adored the tiaras at Miu Miu. It’s also amazing how you can reinterpret a ribbon, as we did at Oscar de la Renta, and have it make the style look so special and modern. With accessories you can always update a simple hairstyle, the idea of the effort you have put into it is what makes it special.”

THE DESIGNERS

“There were lots of changes with fashion this season: Raf Simons left Dior and Alexander Wang left Balenciaga. So this wasn’t a highlight as such – I have loved working with both of them at these shows – but they were both important moments in fashion. I’m excited for next season and wondering how the houses are going to change and therefore how the hair will change – I’m excited for what lies ahead.”

SHOW TIME

“I loved Marc Jacobs this season. The combination of the hair, the clothes and the great staging made it a real event. It was in the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York and there was a band playing and lots of celebrities – it was just a crazy Marc Jacobs world. For the hair I always get to do a new take on something, so it’s an exciting show for me to do. I have been doing it for 15 years and I love the Marc Jacobs girl and her coolness.”

THE TEAM

“The energy and the pace of the shows are crazy. On one particular day in New York I started at 4am with Ralph Lauren, where we did three presentations. Then my next show, Calvin Klein, started an hour before the last Ralph Lauren presentation finished, so I had to whizz over on a bike to get there. Then I had to go straight from there to Marc Jacobs, where I had 40 models waiting. The pressure of making the hair is one thing, but the production is another. The energy behind the scenes at a show is vital, so it’s important to get your team together and make it all work. On that particular day in New York I had 110 assistants working across those three shows!”

EUDON CHOI THE HAIR: STEPHEN LOW FOR L’ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL

“We wanted a look that reflected the effortless elegance of the collection – each girl was given perfect, next-day hair, glossy and luxe with a perfect ‘worn in’ finish. Hair was misted with L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pli and braided into large plaits, then pressed over the surface with a ghd platinum and left to cool. The braids were loosened and Tecni.ART Next Day Hair was packed into the hair for a soft luxe finish.”

“The look was an early ’90s, girl who seems like she’s done her own hair, the muse was Drew Barrymore. Airy, light hair is S/S16 as it’s about hair moving and feeling free. We went for the effect of finger marks going through the hair, and for this we used L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pli at the roots and rough dried the hair upside down with hairdryer and fingers to pull off the scalp Tecni.ART Fresh Dust keeps air in there.”

JACKIE LEE ON THE HAIR

“It’s so important to me to share a full brief with the stylist on the new direction and collection references, I feel it is important to work collaboratively to create something new each season. If it’s something really special we chat on the phone and email before the test day to understand initial feedback based on my reference points and briefing before the test shoot, as they usually then bring further ideas for us to then collaborate and develop the final styling. Hair and make-up are equally important to the collection to complete the overall concept of the show, it completes the J JS Lee woman, everything needs to be perfect from head to toe in order to complete the show properly.”

EUDON CHOI ON THE HAIR

“Hair and make-up are incredibly important. They help to create the mood and atmosphere of the show and they also help the girls find their character for the show. I never like to be literal or too avant-garde with my styling and this goes for the hair, too. The lead stylist needs to be able to reinterpret my influences and present something fresh and surprising. Some seasons the look can flow naturally from the collection and sometimes it takes a little longer. I will send the stylist a moodboard and some text explaining my inspirations with some pictures of key pieces from the collection I am working on. There will also be a lot of emails and calls before we meet for the first time.”
