Hairstyles From Australian Fashion Week


by Sarah Koessler (TheHairStyler.com)

Harbourside, Circular Quay in Sydney was the backdrop for Rosemount Australian Fashion Week's Spring Summer 2007/08 Collections, and thanks to KMS California, TheHairStyler.com was lucky enough to get a first look at some of the hairstyles by two very famous Australian hairstylists', Brad Ngata and Joh Bailey.


Joh Bailey was chosen for the Alex Perry show and did a wonderful job for the designing icon. Brad Ngata was there for quite a few of the shows and his team was picked to make wonderful creations for Azzollini, Jessie Hill, Something Else and the wonderful Ksubi.

The upcoming spring/summer collection shows featured a huge range of hairstyles and there was definitely something for everybody. Simple girly styles were huge and versatile enough for a casual 'do or a big night out. There was also lots of texture, height and old classics in the collections, proving that even the real oldies come back in.

Alex Perry

Joh Bailey for Goldwell was the head of the creative team for the Alex Perry Show. His soft and simple creations gave the models a soft and feminine style while still showing off the gowns to their full advantage.

Hairstyle Prediction: Joh's upcoming fashion predictions are for smooth yet girly styles which are simple enough for every day and every event.

Here is famous Australian model, Miranda Kerr having her hair styled for the Alex Perry catwalk.

Here is Miranda ready for the runway. The high ponytail of her style is full of energy with bouncy curls at the ends of the lengths. The hair is pulled off the face, which gives a clear view of Miranda's stunning facial features and brightly styled make-up.

The hair is smoothed back tightly to the crown area and the hair is 100 percent off the face and out of the way.

The smoothed hair falling from the ponytail looks glamorous with the soft bouncy ends.

Smoothed out ends make a big change to the over all look, giving this hairstyle a more casual look.

Azzollini

Brad Ngata worked with KMS California to style the runway beauties for the Azzollini show. Brad's direction for the Azzollini line was sharp and blunt with head turning tones.

Very impressive. Brad Ngata comes up with a bob cut to suit the different face shapes of the runway girls. The bobs all have the same features - sharp ends and solid bangs.

Azzollini

Pastel pink gives this model a soft tone to her sharp cut. The form lines of this haircut seem to be on a slight angle, giving the style a jazzy edge.

Jessie Hill

Brad Ngata and his team created a very sexy style for the Jessie Hill show. A simple look with a twist was the inspired look for the collection. Once again, in this range, Brad exercised the smoothed back look with a totally different style.

Brad Ngata definitely worked hard to pick out very individual hairstyles for the Ksubi collection, helping to keep Ksubi's stand-out-from-the-crowd image.

The style turned out great for the catwalk. The stylist used extensions to gain more thickness and length through the hairstyle.

The name says it all with this collection. Brad Ngata and his talented team were able to create hairstyles that were just right for the clothing designs of Something Else.

There is a lot of texture running through the ends with a very flat top half with this hairstyle. Head pieces look to be on the way back in.

This is a great alternative hairstyle where they have made a bonnet like look out of hair.

Height at the top created by shorter pieces is still in this season, but there is a slight change with lots of thickness running through the top as well as the bottom.
