Schwarzkopf partners with hair lead Charlie Le Mindu for Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood SS27 in Paris.
For the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood SS27 show in Paris, internationally acclaimed session stylist, Charlie Le Mindu brought the designer's hair vision to life in partnership with globally renowned colour, care and styling brand Schwarzkopf.
The hair celebrated individuality, with each look inspired by the model's unique character and the life they brought to the look. A nod to the iconic style of Marilyn Monroe but undone with a bold femininity, the hair embraced voluminous curls, texture and movement. Curls were left defined, rather than brushed out, creating a more playful finish. The result was a modern interpretation of classic Hollywood glamour, balancing femininity with a powerful sense of individuality and effortless confidence.
Charlie Le Mindu explains: "I'm always inspired by the models themselves and the individual story I want to tell through each look. It's about embracing the messiness of life and presenting a moment in time that isn't always perfect. Style wise, old Hollywood offers volume and curls, but we've presented it in an undone way, working with the movement of the models' hair."
Le Mindu added: "Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Dust It was the hero product backstage, adding definition and shape while working with the models' natural texture."
Get the look…
- Prep: Apply Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Refresh Dust to the hair, then brush through to refresh and prepare for styling.
- Style: Using curling tongs, curl and pin the hair across the entire head, working with the hair's natural growth pattern and movement. Pin the sides backwards, with the front and top sections directed forwards. Spray with Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Session hairspray. Allow the hair to set before removing the pins.
- Finish: Work Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Dust It through the hair, using your fingers to break up the curls, depending on the natural texture. Shape the hair to create a mullet-inspired silhouette, then apply Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Session hairspray to set the look. Finish with Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Sparkler for added shine.
