We also went backstage to capture the tension.

Before the AIFW takes over our blog, we would love to share the BOUTYQ-event with you. The fifth edition of BOUTYQ gave a reason to celebrate this great fashionevent. Despite the rain fashion-pro’s and -lovers arrived at the Dylan Hotel to watch the collections of Francisco van Benthum, Jeroen van Tuyl and Unconditional.
The collection of Van Benthum was inspired by Cuba and the tropics, which resulted in a modern/classic design in light fabrics and colors. The British label Unconditional presented mens- and womenswear with a street chic character. Jeroen van Tuyls clsed the evening with his tough yet classic menswear.
Backstage at Viktor & Rolf Monsieur SS2012
The team got the opportunity to go backstage at Viktor & Rolf Monsieur. Meet Florian and Martin, watch the dressers, hairdressers and make-uppeople work hard to transfer the boys into chic casual Seventies playboys. And did you see those cool sunglasses? They covered the small glasses that were underneath, a cool way to keep you spec on. We enjoyed it!
Beauty Trend SS2011: All Wet

The times in which beach hair was cool, seem to be over. Your hair needs to be soaking wet. If you wanna follow this latest trend, that is.
Make it look short and sleek like the models’ hair at Gucci, Caroline Herrera and Kenzo. Or opt for messy like Rag & Bone and Bottega Veneta.
Throw some paint in your hair like Alexander Wang did with his girls or create the perfect (wet) bun. Whatever you do; put a lot of product in your hair to make it look Wowing-Wet!
Beauty Trend SS2011: Right In The Middle

Going for a chique & sophisticated look? Than this middle parting is your new best friend. It also so happens to be one of the big hair trends for this summer.
Anna Sui, Blumarine, D&G, Stella McCartney, Valentino, Calvin Klein and many others gave their model a perfect middle parting. And while some of the girls wore their hair down, others combined the parting with a bun or ponytail (Blugirl, Costume, Hermes, Leonard).
This trend is great for women of all ages and can be worn tight as well as a little more loose. If you’re afraid the parting will get all messed up during the day, use some wax or hair spray to keep it in place.
Whether you’re a blonde, brown or redhead; this trend looks good with any kind of hair color. Check out our gallery below for some great examples.

Beauty Trend Report SS2011: Artistic Hair

This season the greatest fashion houses proved that you do can more with your hair than just wear it in a ponytail or a bun. The most artistic hair creations were shown on the runway.
Like the Byblos curls on top of the models’ heads, the braids at Erdem, Ungaro and CNC, or the old fashioned hairdo at Prada. Not to mentions the basket-weave hair at Alexander McQueen and the gold-sprayed curls at Dior.
Every season new hairdo’s are created by the best hair professionals in the world. Hours and hours are spend on the most artistic styles. Of course a lot of extensions, weaves and other kinds of fake hair are needed, but the result is always flawless.
A good hairdo really does complete a model’s look and besides colors, shape and print of the clothes it is often also a hairdo that can remind someone of a certain collection. And besides all that these hairstyles are a lot of fun to watch!
Beauty Trend Report SS2011: Big Hair
June 8, 2011 by Jetty
Filed under beauty, Fashion, Featured Items
This trend you might not want to use in your every day look. Yet every once in a while big hair can be pretty great. Reminiscent of the eighties big hair is all about texture and volume. And the only three things you need are a curling iron, a bit of volumizing mousse and some good old hairspray.
Create natural big hair looks like Sarah Jessica Parker and Cheryl Cole did very recently. Or go over the top with a cotton candy like coupe.
If you’re not blessed with lots of hair, apply some extensions or try backcombing your roots for extra volume. We’re pretty sure the beauties in our gallery below are no big hair naturals, but they sure made their looks work on the runway. So, get your curling irons ready for this trend…BIG TIME!
