New Zealand designers Marc Moore, Luke Harwood and Dan Gosling of Stolen Girlfriend’s Club presented ‘The Big Comedown’ Collection in conjunction with KMS California at a stand-out show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week 2011.
The creative hair director for the show, owner of Ryder salon and the New Zealand ambassador for KMS California, Greg Murrell, produced hair designs with two contrasting looks for the show.
Murrell is well known in the fashion world for his creative editorial work and fashion shows where the hair is an inherent part of the overall look.
KMS California believes in individuality and the right to create without limits so our brand partnership with Stolen Girlfriend’s Club is a great fit,” says Emily Daily, KMS California Brand Manager.
“We’ve been working together for a long time now,” says Marc Moore, “so we are very confident that they are on the pulse and get what we are about. It’s been inspiring to work with this dedicated team on an extremely important show for the development of the Stolen Girlfriend’s Club brand in Australia”.
Stolen Girlfriend’s Club describes the inspiration behind the collection “as all about falling in and out of love. The lightness and dreamy state when you’re in that ‘bubble’, contrasting with the pain, angst and bitterness of being dumped. We’re always searching for two opposing themes for each collection. We love contrasts and juxtapositions.”
The models for the show were divided into two contrasting groups, each with different hair and makeup to reflect the show’s contrasting concepts of love and angst.
To achieve the look from Stolen Girlfriend’s Club runway show, Greg Murrell’s tips include:
Look 1- The Light Side
1. Prep hair with KMS hairstay Style Boost RRP 32.00, working from roots through to the mid-lengths.
2. Blowdry for volume and smoothness with a metal barrelled round brush and a hot heat setting on the dryer.
3. Once complete, distribute hair according to the natural parting at the front of the head and pull hair back into a low ponytail at the nape using hair elastic.
4. Pull on the hair above the elastic band so that it sits in a voluminous way and is clearly visible from the front of the head.
5. Loop a small portion of hair from the ponytail around the elastic and affix this hair so that the elastic is not visible.
6. To finish, spray a light mist of KMS silksheen Gloss Spray RRP $32.00 over the whole hairstyle for a shiny natural finish.
Look 2- The Dark Side
1. Take a loose triangular shaped section starting from the edge of the eyebrows on either side of the face to a point halfway between the crown and the top of the head.
2. Pull this section of hair backwards and rotate it through 180 degrees and then slightly push this hair forward to achieve some twisted lift at the top front of the head.
3. Then loop the part ponytail around itself to form a small bun shape on top of the head leaving out the end of the ponytail which falls with the headform down the head. Fix this in position with bobby pins and add dramatic detail by wrapping metallic craft wire around this.
4. Lightly mist the whole head with water to dampen.
5. Mix equal quantities of KMS Curlup Curling Balm RRP $43.00 and KMS Hairstay Styling Gel RRP $31.50 together in a bowl and paint this on to the hair in a Balyage manner to create a shiny , glistening and wet texture. Lightly paint this on to the bun on top of the head. Care is taken to ensure that the product is distributed unevenly for extra texture.
