LFW Launch: Toni & Guy Catwalk Show

London Fashion Week launched the spring/summer 2012 campaign with a Toni & Guy ‘Hair Meets Wardrobe’ catwalk show at Somerset House on Thursday night.

The catwalk show was introduced by Naomi Campbell (I still can’t believe she’s 41!) and featured four signature looks: casual, glamour, creative and classic. Each signature look was personified with striking hair, make-up and outfits worn by the models.

I had no idea what to expect of this catwalk show. What would the theme be? What would the format be? Would fashion play a role? However, Toni & Guy seemed to really understand the correlation and importance between hair and fashion (despite a couple of debateable outfit choices on the catwalk, namely a pink-swimsuit with one-legged fringe trousers). It even inspired me to go and try a few of the looks at home.

The fash-pack party then continued at the Royal Hospital Club in Covent Garden, which involved expresso martinis, mini ice-creams and a whole lot of dancing. Let London Fashion Week commence!

Current Hair Loves

Here are some of my favourite hair styles at the moment

from the model perfect top knot to the fishtail as seen at Erdem A/W 11.

I'm currently thinking of changing my hair style/colour for the summer.

I will keep you posted on what I decide...

Backstage at Osman, London Fashion Week A/W 11

Osman is known for his architectural designs for the thinking woman, and this was certainly the case at London Fashion Week A/W 11.

The hair and beauty being created backstage were strictly architectural too, with black, shoulder-length, angled bobs being clipped.

The look that Osman wanted to resemble was: ‘I have been up all night cutting my hair with my boyfriend’s clippers, my bangs are too long but I am hiding behind my fringe.’ This hung on the wall as a mantra for the stylists. However, my personal favourite was the line, ‘Think about chopping vegetables.‘ Needless to say that a designers’ creative license is greater than yours or mine...

The result was a chic and edgy look which echoed the designs from the collection. I’m sure that we’ll see this look coming to a street near you...
