NYFW: Thakoon Fall 2010 Collection

by Diana Ajih on February 15, 2010

in runway

Designer: Thakoon

Looks: It’s all about the fur hoods! Fox, Mink, and Racoon jackets and coats were seen down the runway as well as prints. Color palettes  mainly used were gray, black, and ivory. His inspiration draws from Chopinot & Gaultier’s Le Défilé, a dance troupe that collaborated with Jean Paul Gaultier for costumes during the 80′s and 90′s. Thakoon also did a fab job on playing with layers, proportions, and lots of textures!

Makeup: Diane Kendall for NARS. All makeup was done by NARS to create a palette of neutral colors. They kept the makeup soft to keep the focus on the clothes.

Hair: Eugene Souleiman for Wella. The hair look was “destroyed blowdry” and a matte texture with the help of baby powder.

My thoughts: I love the makeup on the models especially how they sculpted the cheeks slightly with Douceur blush (new product for fall). My favorite looks are the printed pieces!

NYFW S/S ’10: Daily Favorite Looks

fashion week looks

More great looks from New York Fashion Week Spring 2010. I love all four of these looks. As you can see, three of the looks are great everyday wear and I picked out one evening wear. The Anna Sui dress is so cute, I can’t stop gushing over it. I love this look from Tory Burch. The whole look is complete. I was super impressed from the Michael Kors Collection. There were so many great looks; but, overall the look above is my favorite because it’s so chic and I love the strong shoulders in the dress. The Thakoon dress worn by Chanel Iman is lovely but I also love the hair. The Thakoon design theme is described as “warrior surf” so the inspired hair look, performed by Wella Professionals, comes across as “sumo wrestler meets surf”. That’s pretty cool!

All hair styling, hair products, and hair color was done by the whole Wella Professionals Team.

Get the Look

  • Blowdry the hair back and away from the face.
  • Brush all the hair from ear to ear back and into a tight pony tail.
  • Apply Wella System Professional Supermousse to the pony for a sleek, satin finish.
  • Incorporate the hair from the center of the nape of the neck, in a 2 inch section up to the pony.
  • Bind the hair in the pony with 1/2 inch thick black elastic or ribbon, folding it back on itself to create a knot of hair.
  • Smooth a silicone gloss into hands and smooth over the hair that has been bound for a sleek finish.
  • Add colored extensions to the hair that is left out of the bind, to add length and fullness, as well as color depth.
  • Then spray this hair with Wella High Hair Ocean Spritz and diffuse for a beachy texture.
