NYFW - TRIBUNE STANDARD

by Richard Kavanagh

17 February 2012

Described by Harper's Bazaar as the new guard at New York Fashion Week, Tribune Standard is a fledgling label taking flight. And this, their fifth showing was a literal interpretation of taking flight.

With pheasant and feather prints in golds and taupe, clothes cut to make women look beautiful, frocks fringed with feather beading, I was tasked the task of creating the hair to top off the look...

My idea was to make it a futuristic olive oyl with references to the 20s and 40s chinoiserie and accessorised with a tortoiseshell hair comb.

My team really had to step it up a gear to make sure each girls face was lifted into catlike beauty with a super tight and polished wet look chignon at the crown.

I needed lots of Redken Rootful, Guts, Hardwear Gel, and Forceful 23 hairspray to make this hair look schmick as.

The big buzz came when Tribune Standard was asked to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange to officially mark the end of New York Fashion Week.

100,000,000 people watch live on CNBC while Tawfik (the designer) and six models tolled the bell.

One hundred million!!!!

Sheesh.
