London fashion week ss16: thomas tait with kms california

“It’s been fantastic to work with Thomas Tait again, he is very clear about what he wants to achieve but he’s open to new, creative ideas and he’s great fun to work with. The collections are always really inspiring and this is really reflected through the hair. We created two looks for the SS16 collection, the first look I really wanted to enhance each of the models natural texture, shine and partings to expose their natural beauty. We added elements of disruption, such as a kink in the hair line and fluffy texture in isolated areas but kept it very glossy with aspirational quality. The second look really reflected the different shapes within the collection. We created the effortless ponytail which was offset but with a natural loose twist at the back to mimic some of the curves within the collection. It’s effortless, lived-in with natural texture.” – Sam Burnett, KMS California Ambassador Get The Look Look 1 | Effortless Beauty
