Backstage Beauty with Marco Santini at Jeremy Laing

Let's band together Marco slicks, parts and twists to achieve his look.

Using mousse and texturizing spray Marco creates a 'rough chick' with a twist for Jeremy Laing's SS'11 collection. Knit do-rags were scattered through-out the show so Marco replicated a do-rag like do with a straight across band in the back and voilà biker envy.

Double trouble - models hang-out before doing a walk through.

KIMBERLY OVITZ SS'11

Check mate!

Marco's "soft goth" hairstyle helped round off the look at Kimberly Ovitz's SS'11 presentation. The neutral color choice and asymmetrical cuts were balanced off by Marco's straight and tidy do giving us all something to stare at.

Hanging out with Holli Smith at Patrik Ervell

If looks could kill...

Does Patrik Evrell know menswear. For his SS'11 collection Patrik stuck to his usual roots of versatile separates mixed with fun pops of color. Of course Holli had no problem finding a hairdo to suit the suit filled line. Steering away from the 50's greased back coiff that is often seen she went a more beachy route - giving a new meaning to casual sensibility.

After dampening the model's hair Holli took a blow dryer to the locks to give it a more tousled piecey look.

They know they look good!

LODEN DAGER SS'11

There was something very innocent about Loden Dager's SS'11 collection. The looks had no excessive hardware, the styling wasn't over thought - it felt organic. Playing off of that theme Holli seemingly groomed the models to resemble a cast member from the 1995 teen classic "Now and Then". But regardless of what era you'd wear theses clothes in you'd be sure to turn heads.

Gotta love him - he's promoting peace and great hair.

GARY GRAHAM SS'11

Gary Graham added edge to his SS'11 collection with military inspired looks with hints of asian warrior influences. Holli combated the boyish silhouette with an equally rugged looking do. The complexity of the hair matched with the detailed designs created a very cohesive look that just plain worked. 

Holli attached short hair pieces to the model's hair to roughen things up.

SIKI IM SS'11

What is the most stark urban place you can think of? If you were thinking of a parking garage you and designer Siki Im think alike. Known for unusual venue choices Siki Im's didn't disappoint this season proving that fashion can exist everywhere. With his monochrome palette choice Holli decided to keep it as simple as possible. Making sure all the boys were groomed to perfection - not a hair out of place!

The overall impression of the collection was urban minimalist.

TIMO WEILAND SS'11

Leonardo put the soft back in to curls. For Timo Weiland Leo went for a relaxed do for the females keeping it light and fun like the clothing. As for the men he referenced the preppy duds with a manicured retro coiff, but ruffed up the texture a bit so the look didn't feel too stuffy.

Two styles and lots of great hair!

MARLON GOBEL SS'11

Thorsten covered-up every blemish on these men making sure their complexion were as flawless as their suits.

Thorsten wanted to keep it "clean, polished and sun-kissed" for Marlon Gobel's SS'11 collection. And that he did, with Dior products and a skilled team Thorsten whipped all 26 men in to tip top shape.

Up close with Rolando Beauchamp at Camilla Staerk

WHO: Camilla Staerk SS'2011 Presentation WHERE: Milk Studios WHEN: September 12th

Interior designer Andrée Putman was the inspiration for the collection and the hair.

A side part with a side swept bang and a double french twist helped finish off the look.

The result...

ALEXANDRE HERCHCOVITCH SS'2011

Rolando decided to emphasize the color palette by spray painting the model's braided bun the color of their look. So no matter what direction - coming or going there was always something pretty to look at.

ISABELLA TONCHI SS'2011

Rolando went for sleekness at Isabella Tonchi giving the models a straight and shiny do that wouldn't compete with the collection's complicated prints and bold sleeves.

Straight to the runway!

KAREN WALKER SS'11

We can always rely on Karen Walker to bring out the girly girl in all of us. And for her SS'11 collection that is exactly what she did. With pleated knee-length skirts and high collared button ups it was a refreshing break from the cut-outs and short hemlines that are now frequenters on the runway. Rolando stirred the pot a bit by giving the girls a "brushed out beachy" hairstyle using a soon to be released Bumble&bumble product. Sometimes showing less is more!
