VIVA ESPANA!

When we think of Spain, we usually think of Paella, Picasso and Penelope Cruz, but thanks to Spain's latest edition of Harper's Bazaar, we can add the Glamazon Revival to that illustrious list! The editorial spread features Australia's very own model of the moment, Bambi Northwoord-Blyth in all her bushy browed glory. The look is reminiscent of a time when Gia Carangi was crowned the world's first 'supermodel', Christian Dior was the designer de rigueur, and any discernable fashionista wore only the latest frosted Cutex polish on her fingertips. Hair was big, clothes were sexy, and lips were always red! Northwood-Blyth was styled by Juan Cebrian and shot by Spanish photographer Nico Bustos. God bless those Spaniards!

Andrej Pejic + Micheal Wolff =

MAGIC.

"....I loved Andrej’s look so much,
the whole androgynous thing… it elevated
the whole image of the salon. It’s kind of like
stepping into the moment. Does it matter if it’s
a man or a woman? So many guys have
long hair. People appreciate beautiful people.
To me Andrej had the most perfect face.

"It’s what’s now. This is what’s happening now.
I see lots of young people walking around
and I think they’re quite androgynous. It’s not
about sexuality, about being gay or straight.
There’s a whole new thing going on now,
so having the opportunity to shoot
Andrej was very cool”.

- Micheal Wolff.
( interview with Frockwriter).

Micheal Wolff, our hair stylist for this years RAFW,
is once again on the money.
Since using Andrej Pegjic for his salons branding in Potts Point,
the model has gone on to be one of the most popular,
highly anticpated and controversial, models to date - globally.

Here are a couple more shots from this fantastic shoot:

4 days.....

"Tucking, twisting and looping his textural and fluid fabrics into fascinating shapes, Maticevski believes every stitch and every detail, every line and every shape should provoke an emotional response from both the wearer and the observer."





Oh Toni, you draw an emotional response from us alright!!!!! sigh.

.........four days to go.....

Countdown to RAFW!

So, there are only 17 days until the collaboration with Michael Wolff and Toni Maticevski hits the catwalk. Apart from clicking our heels and wishing ourselves there now, we've decided the next best thing is to check out some of Michael’s latest work - and boy, that man has got talent!

These gorgeous images burst with texture, form and colour. Absolutely love the ‘random’ structured shapes and silhouettes – we are so excited to see what will be rocking the catwalk on May 6!

We love x.

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!

Toni Maticevski returns to RAFW

Q. What happens when you take the avant guard genius of master Hairstylist Michael Wolff and fuse it with the creative powerhouse that is Toni Maticevski?
