Our very own Elyse Scott styled the hair for Sunday's 'Dressed To Thrill' photo-shoot. An exhibition of ten different designer's take on the iconic Little Black Dress. Synthesising the surrounding landscapes, smokey eyes, plaited, twisted, tousled hair and ten intricate black dresses has created a dramatic and breathtaking editorial.

Upstairs in the Stephen Marr studio Charlotte Rust from Fast & Loose is being filmed
for our website, as she fashions two of our customised vintage Fashion Week t-shirts and some shoulder pads into an amazing cape. The project was filmed for a competition we had running throughout Air NZ Fashion Week.

The beauty of youth always provides the centre of gravity for Karen Walker shows, as well as the coolest hats this side of the equator. Glowing skin was called for and model faces were prepped with mini facials from Lucy and the Powderroom then sweetly colored with powder-pink cheeks and coral lips, hair was blown out smooth and clean keeping a floaty volume through the top and drawn from a centre part over the ears into a low ponytail at the base of the nape.

Adrian Hailwood's show put an irresistable twist on fame and fortune. With inspiration taken from David Hockney's work 'A Bigger Splash' models were clad in silk dresses and sleek turbans. Brushed out and tumbling tresses of luxurious Veronica Lake waves exaggerated the look of the poolside LA screen siren. Photography by Olivia Hemus.

In an ode to Judith Baragwanath, conspicuously unfashionable Auckland scandalizer, Kate Sylvester sent out a collection with a masculine bent and cross gender dressing. Makeup featured the trademark Baragwanath black lip and hair was scrapped back and dewey, mimicking the look of morning hair that still carries the residue of the night before. To get this look mix Sebastian Matte Paste and Taming Elixir together in the palm of your hand and rake your fingers through your hair, secure it with a couple of tortoise shell slides low at the back, and finish off with a generous spray of Sebastian Halo Mist shine spray all through the ends.

Salasai designer Kirscha Witcher pays tribute to the 90’s with a mix of androgyny, power dressing and big hair. Texture created with mini crimps and tongs is blown out and flung from a low side part. 90’s perms make a comeback for this show.

The NOM*d show was a spin on rights of passage in religion. The coming-of-age and loss of innocence. The hair look for the show represents the transition between childlike innocence and worldly sensuality, bound by hand in sections around the head in a reconfigured version of green room wig wraps.
