SUPIMA AT PARIS FASHION WEEK: SS16

Paris Fashion Week is always the most spectacular fashion weeks of all! This season at Paris Fashion Week Supima designers show cased looks that were classy and classic, pieces that one could imagine keeping for a lifetime.

The designers showcased their looks at the Élysée Palace, which has been the official residence of the President of the French Republic since 1848.

The Élysée Palace: Supima Paris Fashion Week SS16

The hair for Supima was very chic, we opted to create various looks for Paris Fashion Week. Lead by hairstylist Jon Reyman of Spoke and Weal Salon, we created looks such as sleek Samurai Knots and Rope Braided Headband hairstyles, and some of the models were also seen with a tease of messy rolls and braided buns.

Take a look at the standout designs from the Supima Designers on display at the Élysée Palace for Paris Fashion Week SS16.

This was my third show with Supima, I have had the privilege of working backstage at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SS15, SS16, and honored to work their SS16 showcasing in Paris, France. The designer’s pieces are always spectacular and the most beautiful designs in fashion. Check out some backstage images of the Supima Show for Paris Fashion Week here! This was an awesome show and I am honored to be a hairstylist for the designers this SS16 season.

FASHION ALERT: SKINGRAFT SPRING/SUMMER 2016 NYFW

Skingraft designers Jonny and Christopher Cota, two brothers who represent the new avant-garde of America, find their inspiration through art-inspired performances and fashion. Subcultures dominate cuts, fabric choices and color palettes in a dark, body-conscious manner.

For Spring Summer 2016, Skingraft was inspired by the nomadic wandering through the Mojave Desert and radical self-reliance.

A color palette of mainly black along with other monochromatic shades (think browns and greys) keeps the brand’s aesthetic and cool factor in place. Leather pieces served as body armor – harnesses were certainly a high point, and created a stark contrast against sheer silks and cottons.

For women, dresses and tunics were long and beautiful, however the highlight was a gray-purple colored hooded knit teamed with shorts layered over leggings.

For men, tailored pieces that included belting was the ‘it’ piece. The Cotas took us on a quest, however this time around, the journey is indeed the destination

It was a pleasure being a hairstylist for this show! take a look at the designs from Skingraft at New York Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2016
