The first ever New York Fashion Week: Men's just wrapped on July 16th. And in case you missed it (which, let's be honest...probably most men did), here's an in-depth look at some of the best hairstyles seen on the runway and how you can easily re-create them.
THOM BROWNEWe'll start with Thom Browne. Lead Bumble and bumble stylist, Jimmy Paul, crafted a look that he calls "something super-classic—an American look, you could say, from ’50s, Saturday Evening Post," as the perfect compliment to Browne's "The Officeman" collection. "[He’s] a very iconic American man," Paul reiterates. To create the look, he started by misting the hair with Bb. Prep and then applied Bb. Gel. After combing strands to the side, he finished by spraying Bb. Classic Hairspray.
ROCHAMBEAU Next is the Rochambeau Presentation. Bumble and bumble stylist, Colin McCarthy, created a look to compliment the collection which he describes as, "really clean, so we're being as particular as we can about the details for the hair. We wanted to mirror the metallics in the clothes and create a sheen so the hair has a really glossy finish."
To craft this "schoolboy look, " McCarthy made a super clean and straight deep side part. He then prepped the hair with Bb. Thickening Hairspray before blow drying the product in for structure. To create a gloss that also had staying power, he mixed two parts Bb. Sumotech with one part Bb. Semisumo and applied the mixture all throughout the hair. Finally, he used a styling brush to again make sure the part was super clean and finished with a mist of Bb. Classic hairspray.
JOHN VARVATOS
Lastly is the hairstyle seen on the runway at John Varvatos. Bb. Stylist, Yannick d'Is, describes the look by saying, "It's more of a glam rock, obviously inspired by Mick Jagger, Rolling Stones kind of hair." He goes on to say, "the collections have always been very rock-inspired—now they want it to be a little bit more luxe, so they didn’t want grungy, dirty hair. It’s an ‘expensive rock." To get this un-done, done look, Yannick started by shampooing the models' hair and then applied Bb. Prep before blow-drying and using a curling iron to add texture and movement. He then worked Bb. Thickening Full Form Mousse through the ends to add volume. He finished by adding in slight touches of Bb. Cityswept Finish and Bb. Semisumo to "dress it up."
