Toni&guy do paris fashion week with giles

Published 13th Oct 2009 by sophieh

Giles Deacon, darling of the fashion crowd, and designer of the eponymously titled Giles label took his quirky brand of couture to Paris to show his Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

Not one to leave his trusted favourites behind, he took with him his usual brand of eccentricity and humour and a TONI&GUY Session Team to style the hair.

Here's the lowdown on the show...

The Collection:

A palette that transcended from neutrals to acid brights and, of course, essential black. Creations ranged from structured jackets and sophisticated pencil skirt suits, to ultra-mini statement dresses.

The eclectic collection featured clever detailing, including collars made from golden bull-dog clips, Swarovski crystal tarantulas, spider print fabric and Jurassic-inspired handbags.

Hair Inspiration:

Inspired by New York club kids, with a heavy grunge influence, The miss-matched coloured hair was adorned with pegs and bull dog clips for a lived-in, eccentric twist. Individuality was the buzz word here.

Get the look:

Natural hair wefts were pre-coloured in a kaleidoscopic range, from orange through to purple, enhancing the palette of the collection.
One continuous weft was glued from temple to temple with a heavy colour focus at the front, and repeated to create layers up to the parting.
The natural hair was prepped by soaking with volume mousse and then blasted dry to encourage natural movement.
Tongs were rubbed through the hair to achieve a lived-in texture and smoothing cream was applied to the mid-length and ends, leaving a non-greasy, but home-grown feel.
To finish the hair wefts were razor cut and personalised to each model's natural hair length.
Finally pegs and bull-dog clips were randomly placed for a street-cool and quirky effect.
