Our
styling at The Ralph & Russo SS15 Paris Haute Couture show has already gained so much incredible press –
and the media, this time, hasn't forgotten to acknowledge the 'bohemian,
loosely scooped bun' that was created by Stephen Low and my team from Neville
Hair & Beauty for our fellow London-based couture house. It's been exactly a year since we first collaborated
with Ralph & Russo at Paris Haute Couture shows and I am beyond ecstatic
that Neville Hair & Beauty continues to be their preferred choice when it
comes to immaculate hair.
Our show at the magnificent Grand Palais was a perfect
ending to Haute Couture Week in Paris with the front row that instantly made
headlines around the globe.
One of the special guests was Cheryl Cole who
famously wore a Ralph & Russo SS14 gown at her wedding, emulating the
entire catwalk look, from toe to hair. I've been wondering whether she knew
that the hair style that she re-created for her big day was the vision of my
top stylist, Stephen Low.
And that we would gladly do it for her for any other
special occasion.
For the next summer season Ralph & Russo played
with all things floral taking references from Boticell's Primavera and Pussin's
Realm of Flora artwork. It was a midsummer dream, fairy-tale look for the
awakening , playful young woman. And if the shape of the collection was
recognisably prim and structured, the hair was exuberant in its loosely scooped
bun gently hand-touched together. It was the hair-effect that brought real
emotion to the entire catwalk look and one of the real gems of Stephen Low's vision.
It was the touch of his sensitivity as an artist that was truly visible in that
youthful and light fairy-bun, something that's very much evolving into his
signature style. And he is such a role-model to the rest of my team who follow
his lead and gentle manner which I find very touching to observe.

It's also very hard for me not feel buoyant after
all the amazing shows and editorials we've worked on since the beginning of the
year. I am really content with the fact that my team has truly matured and that they
work together so well, whether they are hair-stylists, make-up or manicure
professionals brought together by my ELSL Management agency. We've also managed
to prove a few people wrong and produce stellar work once again for all our
clients which has always been the result of our combined team effort with our vision of pure
excellence in mind.
