The Best (and Craziest) Hair Moments from New York Fashion Week Klaudia Tirico
The shows may be over in NYC, but we’re still on cloud nine over the insane hair looks created by some of our favorite stylists. These backstage veterans served up some serious inspiration, giving us new ways to wear our hair. Well, some are wearable; the others are just fun to look at. Here are 10 of the most show-stopping hair looks from the spring 2016 runways.
“We wanted to do something that didn’t feel too romantic or soft, still very cool with a strength to it. Its Cuba meets New York. The braid it pulled into a ponytail at the nape of the neck and then the braid is really strict. It has a sense of masculinity to it.”
Hair by Bumble and bumble Global Artistic Director Laurent Philippon.
“It’s about mixing the aesthetical codes. Doing a guy’s hair on a girl or doing a girl’s hair on a guy. The mix of culture and the mix of gender is something I always stood for. There’s definitely a message of peace and understanding in the collection, and that’s what I really love.”
“I spoke to the Thom Browne team a while ago and they told me about the set for the show. The whole thing will be upside down, on the ceiling. The collection is based on uniforms and the models will have tradition ponytail, schoolgirl braids that will be sticking straight up.”
Hair by Eugene Souleiman, Wella Professionals Global Creative Director.
“He [Jeremy Scott] loves extremes and this is the biggest venue he’s ever shown in, so we needed the hair to reflect that scale and deliver high drama on the runway. Building on the late-50s-meets-80s Americana influence that Jeremy loves, we created a caricature of that classic John Waters look, with masses of graphic, structured volume at the roots, set off by incredibly soft and bouncy movement through the lengths.”

“I wanted to give the girls a boyish, military hairstyle. It’s rolled from one side and almost comes over the eye on one side. There’s an architecture to it but it’s still cool and effortless.”
Hair by Aveda Global Artistic Director Allen Ruiz.
“The nomadic sensibility of the Public School Spring/Summer 2016 collection allowed for a beautiful yet resilient style. This is the girl everyone wants to be.”
“The hairstyle was inspired by desert textures and the uniformity of dress and hairstyling often seen in ancient tribes. This hair is a gritty, dirtied-up, twisted topknot with lots of texture and separation. The twisted effect adds a textural element while the "flicked" ends of the topknot have a graphic "Bird of Paradise" effect.”
