Maticevski + De Lorenzo RAFW 2011

In an Eveleigh warehouse, a massive space set scene to one of this year’s most anticipated RAFW shows Toni Maticevski.
Set against the cold, crumbling concrete, the shapes and silhouettes of Toni Maticevskis models floated down the runway, contrasting a sublime femininity against the harsh urban environment.


Seemingly not feeling the sub zero temperature, the ethereal beauty of Toni Maticevskis vision graced the catwalk made complete with the collaboration of Michael Wolff and Napoleon Perdis.








De Lorenzo’s hair crew, directed by Michael Wolff, twisted and tweaked locks up into a contemporary take on the French roll. Sleek slick styles contrasted with the highly detailed effervescent beauty of Toni Maticevskis garments, truly a beautiful mix of hair and style.




The tiny area backstage resulted in a hybrid buzz of artists, designers and models. Napoleon Perdis directed his crew with finesse and humour, elegantly interpreting the brief to capture the delicate femininity of Maticevski designs yet contrasting with bold, brazen slashes across the lids of the eyes keeping it edgy and modern.








With a standing ovation completing the show, it was all over in a a matter of
minutes – nine to be exact, yet those minutes stood still for each piece
of art whilst walking this past years work down the catwalk.
Toni, you totally delivered and we were so happy to be able to be
a sponsor for your show this year!

Gaga's Bad Chemical Romance

If you’re even a little bit like the lady herself and regularly subject your hair to intense colouring – specifically bleaching, you are a candidate for the not so lovely chemical haircut.

This means that your hair can no longer stand the colouring as the protein structure of the hair has broken down so much that your hair starts to break off.

And even celebrities are not immune! Recently, Lady Gaga admitted that thanks to some pretty intensive bleaching, her hair is starting to fall out.


At De Lorenzo HQ, our team of Trichologists have some tips to help you avoid heartbreak over a bad chemical romance!

1. Chocolates come in a box, great colour doesn’t! Always visit a professional salon for your colour work

2. At a De Lorenzo colour salon, your hair will be treated with Protein Complex and Oil Balance treatments before colouring to protect your hair cuticle from damage

3. And finally, treat your hair well between visits! Try a leave in treatment such as Instant Restructurant.

PS: Our Professional Novacolor range is a low ammonia, plant based formula designed to nourish and condition hair with some seriously shiny results!

Dear Miss Kershaw

Dear Abby,

We love your style.
Especially your hair.
You edgy thing you.

Always one step ahead of the flock, Abby pounded the pavement late last year with the hottest street style combination - balayage and the grown out bob-with-bangs.
Sleek, sophisticated and yet edgy.

And it is just so hot right now.

Less severe than Posh's '08 pob, this style suits most due to it's softer shape and texture coming from the roots to the ends. It's an easy style to wear and not as stark or confronting as chopping your locks off to the jawline.

Most recent celebrity to follow in Abby's hairstyle path? You know it, Jennifer Aniston. Who would have thought that a girl from down under could be such a powerful trendsetter!
