Toni&guy put on a catwalk-inspired show at the colour trophy
The TONI&GUY artistic team has become a fixture of London Fashion Week, creating hairstyles for some of the most progressive fashion designers working today.
The group's show at the 2010 L'Oreal Professionnel Colour Trophy celebrated this relationship, featuring the couture of two leading British designers and some stunning catwalk creations from the TONI&GUY team.
The short, funky dresses of William Tempest were complemented by an array of futuristic wigs, featuring strong geometric shapes, disconnected lengths. Working with a blonde base, each of the creations was infused with a different complementary colour from violet to fire engine red.
For the fabulous eveningwear of Giles Deacon - a mix of S&M meets prom night - the TONI&GUY team conjured up a range of towering updos, with volume and backcombing greatly in evidence.
The looks, which spanned history through the rolls of the 1940s, the quiffs of the 1950s and the 1960s beehives were adorned with heart and flower-shaped accessories to tie the collection together.
And then it was all-out weird and wonderful for the last section of the show, as TONI&GUY presented their latest avant-garde collection. A group of dancing androids - a combination of American footballers and Star Wars Storm Troopers - heralded the arrival of the models.
The theme for the rest of the avant-garde section was Alice in Wonderland, with an imaginative spectrum of hair looks getting gradually curiouser and curiouser!
Waist-length blonde hair was crimped and complemented with hair bows, plaits and ribbons in a pastel palette, dark hair was plaited and coiled into loops to create a science fiction-inspired helmet and a model dressed in gimp mask shone with deep red locks that featured two-intricate rolls piled on the head for a theatrical feel.
"It is an honour to be asked to be involved in the L'Oreal Professionnel Colour Trophy," said Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck global creative director for TONI&GUY. "It is always such a prestigious and high profile event and with it's return to the Grosvenor House it is an even more glamorous evening."
