Aveda Creates Graceful Waves at the Christian Siriano Show

Hello Divas!

I am so thankful for God's grace.  It is more than sufficient.

So Aveda is creating some very cool and interesting looks for the BEST shows.  I remembered when I went to New York Fashion Week, I loved watching the Aveda team work their magic. They are so talented!

At the Christian Siriano show, Aveda's lead stylist Antoinette Beenders, created graceful waves using Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair, Aveda Air Control Hair Spray, and Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray. 

“The Christian Siriano hair for this season is sinuous and matte—beautiful waves that are neither too beachy nor too glam.  It’s pretty in the simplest way.” — Antoinette Beenders for Aveda.

Ms. Beenders' inspiration for creating the soft wavy look was Christian's collection which was inspired by the "graceful beauty of orchid flower petals." Lovely.

Here is the look:

The stylists first loosely braided the hair and then gently pressed each braid with a flat iron.

Next, the braids were let loose and combed out.  The stylist set the look with Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray.

Finished look!

This look will work with all hair types that have been blown out.  I really really like this.

New York Fashion Week: Aveda Backstage At Christian Siriano

Hello Divas!

I am back! Yes I have been on a little hiatus, yes sometimes the Diva needs rest! But never fear, I am bringing my fab readers all the backstage hotness during Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week!

The fabulous hair stylists from Aveda, worked their magic at the Christian Siriano and Jason Wu shows.  And apparently up-dos will still be the trend for Fall 2010.  However, these up-dos are a bit more chic and glamourous!

When Christiano was creating his Fall 2010 line, he said his inspiration was "Parisian Women from the 1960s and the idea of getting "dressed up" from morning to evening."  "The line includes soft romantic shapes that compliment strong structured jackets, coats, and cocktail dresses."  Funny my friend Natasha and I were just having a dicussion about how women really dressed up in the 60s and our generation is so missing that. But I digress.   Lead Aveda Stylist, Antoinette Beenders drew from Christian Siriano's inspiration and created a 1960s Parision Glamour Wave Updo using Aveda Control Force Hairspray.  She said this look is great for a "very chic and glamourous evening."  I love it! Back to Glamour we go!

Simply Gorgeous!
