The theme at the Spring/Summer 2015 DANNIJO presentation was all about travel. DANNIJO presented the Mongolian Road Trip Collection complete with accessories and first-ever shoe collection by the sister/designers behind DANNIJO. Kicking off the road trip theme was a classic Mercedes-Benz convertible parked out front. The interior was decorated by photographer Lyle Owerko’s photos from his recent travels through Mongolia.
The beauty looks created for the show were as accessible and exotic as the collection. For the makeup Maybelline created two distinct looks models either had a coral rich shadow or a highly pigmented blue eye look. With the focus on the eye, skin was highlighted and looked sun-kissed. The nails were simple, manicurist Alicia Torello, used one coat of Go Nude by Maybelline for an au natural look.
On hair Lead Stylist, Rodney Cutler, for Cutler/Redken Salon told us “I was inspired by the sisters' passion and vision for this Spring/Summer collection and went about creating a hair look that would complement the amazing styling and theme of travel. Similar to the rustic yet picturesque staging of the presentation, the hair brought to life a natural, Mongolian tribal feel with a fishtail that journeyed on to a polished pony.”
Hair Step-by-Step:
1. Begin styling with dry, straightened hair.
2. Pull hair back into a sleek ponytail using a fine bristle brush. Secure the hair on the back of the head, so that it is parallel to the middle of the ear. Use a thin elastic to secure.
3. Depending on hair thickness, work a dime to quarter size dollop of Redken Velvet Gelatine 07 – Cushioning Blow Dry Gel into the first 4-5 inches of hair below the ponytail.
4. Weave into a tight, smooth fishtail braid. To create a fishtail separate the hair into two sections and cross small strands over each other, towards the opposite section.
5. After braiding this portion of the hair, secure with an additional hair tie and allow the bottom of the hair to hang.
6. After secured, use a 1-2” flat iron to straighten the unbraided hair for a sleek ponytail.
7. Finish off by spraying Redken Fashion Work 12 – Versatile Working Spray to tackle any flyaways.
