Catherine Malandrino A/W 12
The Catherine Malandrino A/W 12 show was a fierce and chic collection, which had the hair to match.
The inspiration was La Feline. Virtue and vice.
Graceful, graphic lines blur boundaries of skin in slashed crystal netting. Razor-slim cut after-dark dresses reveal forbidden curves.
The collection is an evolution of fantasy from suggestive to seductive.
Antonio Corral Calero, Moroccanoil Artistic Director, created the graphically stron, gracefully sensual hair looks for the runway show.
"Catherine's clothes are bodly feminine and we wanted to create hair that reflected this sophistication and strangth," explains Antonio.
"The hair looks were also inspired by the feline mystery of the 80’s film “Cat People.”
"A signature element of the dramatic look was the flowing contrast of two different finishes and textures. Glossy, volumized curved wave patterns defined hair on top of the head and were sleeked close to the sides. They were accentuated by stick-straight, naturally shiny and smooth strands flowing down the back."
HOW THE LOOK WAS CREATED
“Well-conditioned, healthy hair is essential for this look. To start, I mixed a cocktail of Moroccanoil Treatment or Moroccanoil Treatment Light (depending upon the models’ hair texture and colour) with Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream and worked it into dampened hair.
“I blow dried the hair straight using a large, round Moroccanoil Ionic Ceramic Brush, while lifting at the root to create volume on top of the head.
“I then applied our new Moroccanoil volumizing mousse, (available exclusively in salons and spas in late Fall 2012) through the top and sides and massaged it into the strands until they were saturated. This helped to create a glossy base to hold the waved patterning to come.
“I finger-combed the hair at the top of the head to separate the strands and make fine curved patterns. This gave the appearance of contrast and depth. I also slicked the slides and repeated the patterning with my fingers.
“Next, while using the hair dryer, I lifted the soft waves at the root for more definition, and dried the pattern in place. Afterwards, I lifted the hair at the root – and then crisscrossed the raised strands at the crown for a bit more height and volume.
“I then sprayed new Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong throughout the style to hold it in place and leave it natural-looking and shiny.
“Finally, to give hair at the back of the head a more linear look and emphasize its contrasting texture and finish, I flat ironed each section to smooth the hair from the crown down and to eliminate any flyaways. I misted on Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray after flat ironing to give sleeked hair a beautiful mirror-like shine, and then misted the entire style with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray to unify the two finishes."
