BEHIND THE BEAUTY: Michael Angel Spring 2010

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Art Dept’s Dennis Lanni, a seasoned editorial veteran with a laundry list of A-list celebrity credits, was lead hair designer, supported by the ARROJO Artistic Team. “For Michael Angel,” says Dennis, “we didn’t want the hair to take any real estate from the clothing; it was not to touch the clothes at all. So we decided on a half bob, graphic, sculpted, and masculine.”

All models had long hair and in order to create the faux bobs, the team worked tirelessly to create a braided section underneath the hair – an innovative interpretation of an anchor. Then the hair was side-parted and slicked back with gel. The length was rolled underneath and pinned into the braid, leaving the hairstyles still and stationary.

The looks were set into place by wrapping each bob with a hairnet before blow-drying. Result: slick, smooth styles elegantly crafted into perfect shape. “I really like simple hair and I was so excited that Michael’s team went with this look rather than just a bun or ponytail. This was a really smart take on those types of looks and it looked perfect on the runway,” Dennis concluded.

BEHIND THE BEAUTY: Katie Gallagher Spring 2011

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

An up and coming fashion phenom, and friend of ARROJO, Katie Gallagher is one of their favorite collabs, and they were thrilled to team up together for a third consecutive season.

Katie’s SS 11 show, dubbed “Arena,”  which was inspired by her love of running, took form in slick, sporty, and futuristic designs (the looks were styled by Elle’s style director, the incomparable Kate Lanphear). Lead stylist David Colvin (my hairstylist) worked with Katie on creating a simple, sporty hairstyle with a twist.

This season, they worked with a very high, sleek ponytail. Clear, plastic tubing was cut down to create a holder for the tails, giving a futuristic vibe to the hair that perfectly mirrored the clothing.

David and team used ARROJO set & style spray to prep the hair, then the ARROJO by IZUNAMI flat iron to smooth and straighten. The tight ponytails were finished with ARROJO’s shine spray – leaving no frizz or flyaways in sight.

PHOTOSHOP of HORRORS: Christina Hendricks Has Crooked Cleavage

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Is it just us or is her cleavage a bit misplaced in this ad? If you look at it closely, which you know you want to, you will see that her boobs are not symmetrical. Technically, the cleavage should be right in the middle, sort of parallel with her butt chin…

If I could shop at only one store for the rest of my life, it would be Reiss!They are set to open a new shop-in-shop inside the 59th st Bloomies, which is quite exciting for me, and the brand, since the store is more convenient for me then its downtown locations, and this will help increase their brand awareness.
