Glam Chic Chignon with Crystals – 2011
Photos: © Helen Oppenheim … Collage by helenoppenheim.com
This “fearlessly” glamorous chic chignon, different from every angle, has a lot going on – but it all works. Inspired by Hollywood movies (Anne Baxter in “All About Eve” and Bette Davis in “Dark Victory”) Peter Gray created this look for the Fall 2011 NY Fashion Week Show by red-carpet designers, Badgley Mischka. The off-center, spiral-rolled chignon resting low on the nape has a rope twist on the opposite side, and a long strip of crystals placed over the diagonal part.

CommentBig News, Big Change for Vidal Sassoon – 2014
Photo: © Randy Taylor, hairbrained.me
It really is big news. There’s been a change of direction at Vidal Sassoon. Some of the hair the Vidal Sassoon Academy North America presented recently at the intercoiffure America/Canada Fall Atelier in New York was casual looking, with more texture and a modern finish, as seen here with this long layered look, captured on the runway. This is the first look I’ve ever seen from Vidal Sassoon that doesn’t have the ’60s all over it! To the future … For more Sassoons and more from Intercoiffure, click here:
