How to Hair at Alon Livne MBFW Spring 2014 and Paris Hilton

Nick Irwin, Tigi Global Director, gave this show the perfect blend of urban by using a masterful sectioning pattern of braids. The C curves gave the look a chic soft look you could easily where with a party dress or with the heat of the city will be a definite go to look to combat  frizz. It's the new version of Bo Derek in 10

Mr. Nick Irwin’s vision seems a bit more user friendly.

The How to

• Using Fast Fixx Style Prep (this has been a long time favorite and core product
  for TIGI®). Great product for eliminating frizzes -pre styling.
• 5 sections were taken, the 1^st was 4 fingers wide on the top and sectioned to the back (note all sections use the curve of the head. This is key to the softness of the look).
• Key to the structural look is the next sections on either side of your head. Use the corner of the top outside plait and section in a C curve to the corner of the back braid. On each braid clear elastic was used.
• To give the hair a high gloss TIGI® Weightless Shine Spray from the Catwalk® by TIGI was used. This is a wonderful product, it adds a thermal protection and tames the frizz. 
• One eliminate used to accent the sectioning on the braids was TIGI Cosmetics duo in Feisty, the white shimmer side was applied with great care by the TIGI Creative Team.

• The final finish was done by @MrNickIrwin on all the models; you won't have his hands to finish your look, but here is how he did the bun. Gentle twist all the braids together into bun and secure with a large bobby pin.

List

1. Land in NYC
2. Taxiiiiiiii!!!!
3. Prep work at the Tigi Academy SOHO
4. Taxi -to late for a subway trip
5. Hudson Hotel
6. Whole foods for Kombucha
7. Bouchon Bakery for quick bite

The Hudson Hotel is the pillow of choice for the Tigi Creative Team. The Hudson is my favorite because of the Gossip Girl episode where Blair is looking for – The Duchess-Have you seen the Duchess? She’s in the Library, (WARNING Sexy scene not recommend for children, Link at your own risk). This place has a great vignette feel to it and is very inviting.  If you’re wandering through the hotel it is loaded with fun, so be sure to explore. I love the Cows by Jean-Baptise Mondino and the fantastic job Philippe Starck did with the space. This hotel is not new by it feels new with the fashion week energy buzzing through the join.

Thanks ladies

Some of the hottest fashion blogger are staying during NYFW,@peaceloveshea and @kristin-bazan, my personal favorites. All this and just a skip away from Bouchon Bakery another must stop for soup and a cheese sando, then onto Whole foods for a fashion week must Kombucha. This drink is a life saver for the fashion week mayhem we throw ourselves into.

Well as soon as we get more fashion fun we will post. Look for Ruffin and Mara Hoffman on Saturday.
