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.
