London fashion week spring/summer 2013: christopher kane

Anthony Turner created tough-girl ponytails for the Christopher Kane Spring/Summer 2013 show at London Fashion Week.

Show: Christopher Kane

Stylist: Anthony Turner for TIGI

Inspiration: A slightly tougher look than usual; "the bad girl of the season," Anthony joked. The look worked in contrast to the collection, which was quite ladylike and feminine. 

As with all of Christopher's collection, there was a twist - something "not quite right" as Anthony described it. This was the feel he wanted to give to the ponytail; something slightly 'off' was required. 

The look: A slicked-back ponytail with a wet-look hairline and intentional comb-marks; "as though she's stepped out of the shower and raked back her hair," Anthony said.

Get the look: Hair was combed away from the face using lots of TIGI Session Series Wet Look Gel in sections from the roots to mid-lengths to add a slicked-back feel to the hairline.

Hair was then combed through with a wide-toothed comb to create marks through the hairline and secured in a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.Combmarks were then pushed through with fingers to enhance to the texture. 

The lengths of the ponytail were then smoothed through with Catwalk Curlesque Defining Serum to remove any flyaways, with the tail smoothed over with straighteners to create a completely straight, quite hard ponytail.
