We're so proud to be the official hairdresser for one of the city's biggest annual fashion events - the Edinburgh College of Art Fashion Show. The fashion and performance costume students show their collections they've spent the past year working tirelessly on. It's bursting at the seams with the new breed of Scotland's fashion talent and never fails to impress. We love the buzz of being part of it and finally have some backstage snaps to share with you.
The ECA is the only Scottish art school whose grads are invited to debut at London Graduate Fashion Week, which is massive testament to the standards of work being produced. Hats off indeed.
Our Creative Senior Stylist Ryan McCreadie developed the hair for the show and was inspired by the 90s pony tails (or topsy tails to some of you). This is a simple look that works well for a fashion show as the models change outfits so quickly that more complicated styles can end up looking tired very quickly.
To recreate it, put your hair into a pony tail then feed the hair back through behind the elastic giving a 40s roll feel. He then added texture and a little swing to the length using conical wavers to curl the hair.
Toolkit: Paddle brush and covered elastic bands, a little Sebastian Craft Clay to rough up the ends and create a contrast to the smooth finish on top.
