Neville salon team style julien fournie couture show

The Knightsbridge salon team, headed by Stephen Low and Elena Lavagni ,collaborated with designer Julien Fournie on his Autumn/Winter 2014 show at Paris Couture Fashion Week. “My Neville team of salon/session stylists headed by Stephen Low has conquered the Paris Haute Couture Week like no other London salon before," says salon director Elena Lavagni. "The capital of fashion is the toughest scene in the world but once you are there, your hair team belongs to that elusive and exclusive part of the Haute Couture history that only a few true artists have the privilege to create." For the Julien Fournie show, the designer says: "For this season, I wanted a strong beauty and I’ve been very lucky to work in collaboration with Neville; they’re an extraordinary team – I’ve never worked with a team who understand the full consciousness of the demands of Haute Couture. I cannot now work with any other salon I was so happy with them." Head stylist Stephen Low says: "The hair was drawn tightly off the face making the eyes a focal point of the whole look. We created a deep, clean side parting, adding shine to the look for a sleek finish. The hair was then pulled into a low ponytail and secured before a donut was placed over the top and the hair wrapped upward to conceal the padding. To finish we placed an invisible netting over the fun to tame any flyaway and secure the entire look.” [Photography: Maxime Lenik]
