East Bound
’Dmitry Vinokurov’s latest collection for Wella Professionals plays up structured styling and loud bursts of color.
West meets east in Dmitry Vinokurov’s take on Fusion—a 2013 Wella Professionals TrendVision category. The collection, seen exclusively on these pages, blends an Asian experimental spirit with Western high-culture to create fashion-forward looks. “Elements such as origami and Samurai helmets were our inspiration for some of the intricate designs,” says Vinokurov, who worked on the photo shoot with fellow artists Alexey Ladnov and Denis Skakunov. “Japanese prints and sakura blossoms were major influences on our color palette and placement,” Vinokurov adds. ‘
My Pick ~ Samurai
Whether they are wigs or fantastic perms and haircuts, the visuals is still stunning.. Very Samurai influenced!
My Pick ~ SOMA
Some lovely images from Soma magazine, sorry they are not very clear copies but you can still get the idea of these lovely shapes, Hair by Ryutaro at AKA.
Admittedly the first shot looks abit too perfect or should I say abit too touched up but I love the shape regardless.
Ken Pave’s Wigs
I must admit I’m always abit skeptical with wigs and pieces for the hair anyway, so when I heard there was a collaboration from Jessica Simpson and her style guru hairdresser – Ken Paves, I really wasn’t too sure. (Sorry, nothing personal) But even I have to admit after I came across a couple of their looks recently, that they looked really good!
With this first look, (Text taken from American Salon Magazine) Ken used what he called a Hairdo Angled Cut Wig in a pale blond color. He darkened the roots with ebony brown eye shadow and then razor cut the wig to create uneven choppy layers with soft edges. He then used a volumizing spray to give it the edgy finish.
Now I really like this second look, I love the feel and idea of the whole romantic braided look.
(Text from American Salon Mag) Ken used 4 black 22’” Hairdo Straight Extensions. He clipped 2 on each side of the head, starting from the front and just above the ears in a V-pattern before teasing and clipping them into place. After adding the remaining extensions on each side of the crown and creating a center part closure, he applied a Hairdo Clip In Bang that he had lifted to platinum before teasing and pinning into place.
Now what do you all think? Would you go and buy some pieces or wigs just to have some fun and create some new looks?
Cosmogony by Trevor Sorbie
Adam Szabo and Mai Ha from Trevor Sorbie UK, created these lovely fantasy styles for their latest collection named Cosmogony. Featured in ‘Behind the Chair’ magazine, I would like to share these very creative works of art with you.
Extract from magazine: (although I must admit I find the wording abit too airy fairy, sorry Trev )
‘This collection adds brand new words to the hairdressing vocabulary. Patchwork, Crevicing, Ridgeplay, Crenulation, Otherworldly and Geographic. It stretches the limits and blurs the lines between hair and substance, reality and imagination. It reminds us that sometimes its best to destroy all that came before, and let the next era rise from the ashes. Because don’t forget, once upon a time, it all began with a single, mighty, big bang.’
Hair by Sam McKnight..
Here are some cool images I found from WMagazine… I love the photography, styling, hair and concept. Photographs by renowned British fashion photographer, Nick Knight and the hair accessories and hair are by Celebrity Stylist – Sam McKnight …Enjoy!
Romantic Braids..
I know I have already done a post about braids but I came across these pictures with these lovely romantic looking braids from Modern Salon magazine and wanted to share with you..
The hair was styled by Vivienne MacKinder who is the founder of HairDesignerTV.com as well as being Fashion Director for Intercoiffure America-Canada.
‘This collection features a blend of fishtail braids, three-strand reverse and three strand rope braids, using strategic placement of Simplicity hair extensions and combining backcomb, blending and combining different shapes enhanced by push-pull effects. Vivienne was eager to bring romance sophistication and softness to braids in this Modern Collection as they can often appear beach or juvenile.’
‘There is a true art to Braiding, demanding great dexterity and skills, Its all about fashion that stands out, yet fits in.’ says MacKinder.

Ling Tan ~ Supermodel
My good friend and journalist Stevie Wong first brought my attention to China’s first supermodel afew months back, so as I was looking into her work, I was impressed with some of the campaigns she had done and absolutely loved the hair in a lot of them, I thought I would show you afew of my faves.
First abit of background stuff on Ling..
Ling Tan who’s full name is Tan Mang Ling was South East Asia’s first supermodel.An Malaysian Chinese model who was born in Kuala Lumpur, speaks 4 dialects of Chinese as well and Malay and English.
Her works includes absolutely ALL known top designers, brands and campaigns and has worked with just as many fashion photographers, way too many to list here, believe me its an incredible list, check our her Wikipedia page!
If all that isn’t enough she has also made commercials for Pantene, Armani Fragrances, Ford Edge and appeared in George Michaels music video Fast Love.
Lin recently came out of retirement to walk the runway for Givenchy 2010 and 2011, and was also recently signed with Wilhelmina Models in NYC 2011. Once a supermodel, always a supermodel, right?
Some other campaigns:
My Pick ~ Julien dY’s
Came across these gorgeous visuals in the W Magazine. The brilliant photographer was Tim Walker (who has major credentials working extensively with Vogue, Kate Moss, Helena Bohnam Carter to name a few) and the stylist for the hair was Julien dY’s.
Julien dY’s (pronounced Dees) is a photographer, painter and set designer and has been in charge of head dressing at the annual Costume Institute Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC since 2005. With such a a creative versatile background, no wonder these images are so dramatic, striking and strong!
