NYC Fashion week is over here in NYC. I only got to do the very first part of it due to shooting a campaign in Charleston SC for the rest of the fashion week.
I was so excited to do Libertine again this season, Johnson Hartig the designer is known for his graphic, deconstruction on a classic look and he shined like never before. He has always been ecologically friendly with fashion and his line this year was the best yet. The graphics were bold and monochromatic but with such awesome urban feel with classic cuts. He really made a statement. What we, Johnson and myself came up with for the hair was from his inspiration. His inspiration, was of a girl who had gone out the night before all done up make up, blow-dried, hair set and even a little back combing in crown, she fell asleep in the early am. Then she woke up and without doing anything threw on her clothes and was on her way. We wanted a 60’ish kind of feel to the hair, so to make it modern I used a messy middle part instead of the common side part in the 60’s and from the end of part back put deconstructed backcombing. Using a 1 ½ inch Marcel my wonderful team started 1 inch off the root curling all the way down leaving the ends of the hair out for that, undone feel. Think Amy Winhouse meets Paco Rabanne 1960’s the morning after.
The pictures here show Johnson’s vision come to life with the feeling I created for Libertine. Watch out next season in February put Libertine on your radar.
