Neil Moodie and the team at London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011
Date: 30/09/2010
Neil and the team at London hairdressers Windle & Moodie worked on three shows during London Fashion Week; Margaret Howell, Mark Fast and Burberry, creating gorgeous beautiful hair for the Spring/Summer 2011 collections. Here's our backstage report from the first two shows...
Margaret Howell
First up was Margaret Howell on Sunday 19th September. The show wasn't planned to start until 11am but when you're working backstage at a show your call time is usually around three hours earlier so we were there from 8am (very early for a Sunday morn!) The overall look for the collection was quite minimalist and this was also translated through into the hair and make-up. For the show Neil created a chignon at the nape of the neck which was meant to look as if the girls had done it themselves. The hair was such a hit that Editor-in-Chief of British Elle, Lorraine Candy tweeted:
Take a look at a couple of pics that Neil took during testing:
I think that you'll agree that this look is uber pretty, feminine and soft - perfect for Spring/Summer!
Mark Fast
Next up on the agenda and the very next day on the 20th September was the Mark Fast Spring/Summer 2011 show - a totally different designer with a totally different collection from the previous day. Show time was scheduled for 12pm so we had a call time of 9am (another early morning start!) I'm sure many will already know Mark for his sexy take on knitwear and this show was no exception. Incredibly intricate pieces which the models had to be helped into by their own little team of dressers, stunning, super-glittery eye make-up and great hair "to open out the face so that the girls looked pure and fresh" were on the menu today. Check out some of our backstage pics below...
