Winter/Festive 2018 Trends
Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2018 held from August 22-26 2018 at St Regis Mumbai was a great showcase for hair and make-up along with fashion trends for the coming season. Daniel Bauer Official Make-up and Hair expert for Lakmé created exciting looks for The Runway shows, while Heena Dalvi, National Creative Director, Lakme Salon, was responsible for the models’ looks during The Studio shows.
The make-up and hairstyles for the shows were adventurous, daring and at times quite innovative. There was a retro approach as well as a look at the past for inspirations for some of the styles, while there were futuristic touches for some of the collections.
The launch of the Kareena Kapoor Khan “Shades of a Diva” collection by Lakmé Absolute was the highlight of the event. The Tresemmé show with Ashish N Soni brought hairstyles for the crowning glory to the forefront.
Kareena Kapoor Khan Lakmé Absolute “Shades Of A Diva”
Kareena Kapoor Khan, Brand Ambassador, Lakmé said, “I have been the face of Lakmé for so many years now and my love for the brand has only grown. My love for make-up is well known and unveiling my first collection of make-up with them is almost an emotional experience for me. The range includes the shades I love, the textures I love and I am super excited to introduce new formats and products that I am sure every woman out there is going to love!”
The TRESemmé Show
The TRESemmé show was a fantasy of hairstyles with the theme ‘Transform’ and that is exactly what happened to the models as they strutted down the ramp along with brand ambassador for TRESemmé, Jacqueline Fernandez.
Daniel Bauer, Official Hair Expert, TRESemmé, said, “Working with Ashish N Soni and the TRESemmé team is always a special experience and this time even more so. We have curated a hair experience on the ramp, which has not been seen before in India. A hairstyle can define an era, and with this thinking we have explored hair identity through the ages and how hair has transformed and metamorphosed through the past 30 years, in our show. TRESemmé backstage at Lakmé Fashion Week has really made an amazingly powerful and empowering message – hair is what it’s all about.”
The Show Stopping Bride By Lakmé Salon And Payal Singhal
With statement looks like ombré lips and spotlight eyes, the look was created with glitter to ensure celestial aesthetics. Lakmé Salon envisioned showcasing an upscale make-up trend for today’s modern age bride with gold to accentuate the inner radiance.
Heena Dalvi, National Creative Director at Lakmé Salon shared, “Giving the royal Indian bride a contemporary makeover, the theme of the show this season was to reinvent ancient Indian hair styles and make-up. The Show Stopping Bride hairstyles were inspired from medieval eras like the Harappan, Mughal and Satavahana period. Lakmé Salon incorporated soft yet intricate-detailing techniques like the low buns, loose knots, Harappan braids, bouffant and top knots that only added to the bride’s elegant and stylish looks. While these were inspired from traditional concepts we has created hair and makeup looks that appeal to the uber urban bride of today.”
