Missoni Hair Look Spring Summer 2011

Missoni Hair Look Spring Summer 2011

Backstage at Milan Fashion Week with Eugene Souleiman, Global Creative Director, Wella Professionals: Creating the Hair Look for Missoni S/S '11

The Look: Tribal Trip
Missoni's S/S'11 collection was a striking presentation of the designer's signature prints transformed into tribal markings and geometric shapes. Smocks, kaftans and tabards featured snippets of street language to provide added edge and marked a distinct movement forward from previous collections. This graphic clothing look was contrasted by a delicate yet raw hair look created by Eugene Souleiman, Global Creative Director, Wella Professionals Care and Styling. "I've created a sexy and wild look for the hair to give the impression that it's been styled by nature" explained Eugene.

To create the look, Eugene transformed the hair into a dry, mane with plenty of movement and volume. Hair was blow out in a wild, organic style as if the models had been blasted by the wind during an epic journey. The effect was one of beautiful contrast to the restrictive geometrical shapes of the clothing prints and forms and the print headscarves which wrapped around the hair.

Get the Look:
Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair, and apply Crystal Styler from the Wella Professionals High Hair range. Next apply System Professional Volumagic at the roots and High Hair Ocean Sprizz on the ends of the hair then blow dry out with a large barrel brush to recreate a weathered look. Turn the head upside down and freely blow the hair to create wild volume and texture.

Taking the hair in sections, without brushing it through, randomly apply hair straighteners down each section of the hair to hold in the rawness and imperfections of the blowdrying. Finally take a scarf and wrap over, under the head and around the neck pulling out strands from the back and sides to ensure that the volume and organic texture of the style is retained and spray with SP Ultimation Extra Strong Finishing Spray.
