Altuzarra
“Joseph wanted a look that was elegant and beautifully chic to complement his detail-oriented collection, almost in the shape of a tight bow. It has an equestrian feel; the hair is smooth, silky and precise.”—Paul Hanlon for Frédéric Fekkai
Alexander Wang
“This look is an updated version of the ponytail. The strip of tape down the middle gives it a more severe, almost robotic feel, and it encourages you to look twice.” – Guido for Redken
Marchesa
“I used soft pinks on the cheeks and lips and a gold metallic foil in the corner of the eye to achieve a look inspired by India in the ‘60s.”—Talia Shobrook for Laura Mercier
Rag & Bone
“The face for spring is very strong, androgynous and natural. There is a dewiness to the skin, but it's not overdone.”—Gucci Westman
Thakoon
“The collection is based on birdcages, butterflies and gardens, so we decided to go for a very strict look that is graphic and modern with a touch of romance. It’s a middle part with very shiny hair until the back of the head. Then we used the three branch iron to represent the birdcages, taking little barretts and criss-crossing them at the top of a pony tail. As for this becoming a spring hair trend, who knows? It’s really a perfect springtime style, very fresh and I think leaving the bobby pins in is a great way to accessorize your hair. I think they’re cute!” – Odile Gilbert for Kérastase
Rodarte
“The idea here was to create a modern medieval girl. We flattened one side of the head, so it would look like it had been shaved. Then we kept the short piece in the front to make it appear as if it were a deliberate haircut. It’s very designed and modern for a modern girl. It’s an attitude.”—Odile Gilbert for Kérastase
Marc Jacobs
“She’s a typical Marc girl: very New York City, very chic and interesting. We wanted references made to Edie Sedgwick in the ‘60s so we gave her heavy eyeliner and thick, bold eyebrows.”—Francois Nars
Proenza Schouler
“I feel like this season is a progression of the Proenza girl. She’s very real and down-to-earth but with a twist to her personality. I always think that Jack and Lazaro take this beautiful thing and add in a bit of tension. She’s not a good girl. She’s a dangerous girl who is ultra-confident in the way she looks. The hair is scraggly and stringy, like she needs a bit of a wash or a quick brush. I like the fact that you have all of these expensive, rich fabrics, but then the hair is just like, whatever. It’s a bit undone.”—Paul Hanlon for Frédéric Fekkai
Derek Lam
“Derek’s collection is inspired by true American sportswear, and we wanted the hair to be reflective of that. It’s not too styled, not too wavy and not too straight—it’s the simplicity of the everyday woman going about her day. We blow-dried it with our fingers to make sure it didn’t look too perfectly straight, and we created a side part behind the ears. It’s straightforward and I like that. It's very natural. Frankly, I find blow-drying one of the most boring parts of doing hair, and if I can do it fast and make it look good, I go for it.”—Orlando Pita
Anna Sui
“Anna wanted a young girl, someone very eclectic. That’s why we used theatrical paint on the lips and Revlon Liquiline Blast as the liner with bold blues and reds. The lines are rebellious, really punk and really Anna Sui. She has some old photographs she took back in the day—of The Sex Pistols and the punk kids like Jordon who hung out in in New York—and you see that in the show and in the beauty look. They were our real inspiration.”—Pat McGrath for Revlon
