AKRIS
Fall/Winter 2015
Hair by Guido, Redken Global Creative Director
To play up the stony gray palette seen on the runway at Akris’s Fall/Winter 2015 show, Redken Global Creative Director Guido custom-cut wigs into a choppy bowl shape and colored each a beautiful shade of gray using Redken’s Shades EQ. Guido then sprayed Redken’s Fashion Work 12 versatile working spray all over the hair to enhance the texture and layers of the surfer-inspired cut.
“The look at Akris this season is very Zen and cool, but still very luxurious and a little bit edgy. I custom cut these choppy, kind of punk-y wigs for each girl and then dyed them a few different shades of gray, so you have this very cool palette of grays on the runway. It’s a bit surfer-inspired, but still very modern with the different grays and textures, which I really enhanced with Redken’s Fashion Work 12 hairspray so you can see more of the choppy layers.”
Guido, Redken Global Creative Director
