On New Year’s  Eve I would like to start with the Art Deco style which has become an inexhaustible source of inspiration well-loved by fashion designers of all generations.

At corporate parties devoted to New Year, dress code is often set by this style.

Art-Deco appeared in the postwar era, the period of women's emancipation, Prohibition and became critical period of global fashion.

Young, independent, asserting their position in society on an equal basis with men, women, so-called flappers, hungry for a good life, champagne and cocaine, dancing Charleston and dreaming of a convertible and a rich husband - life itself has forced women to a simple outfit. Art Nouveau of 10-ies with its narrow, long dresses and big hats doesn’t correspond to the modern rhythm anymore.

Style forming features of Art Deco became geometric patterns, prints, short hair, small head, low waist, naked back, orientalism - Oriental motifs, Cupid’s bow lips, fur, beads, sequins, small bags, fringe and mouthpiece. The rapid development of Hollywood cinema gave the world an example of imitation - charming Louise Brooks and Mary Pickford.

 

So, I introduce you the image in the Art Deco style, designed somewhat ironic, masquerade reflecting the spirit of the time - it's the New Year! As style-forming elements I used beads and tassels, hair waves, first performed on the wet hair with a lot of gel, which I dried then and combed dry hair to form a volumetric wave - and this technique has given, in my view, richer image. But I did make up somewhat exaggerated, a bit brighter than it was customary in those years.

  

And here is one more image. Here I combed the hair again, then made a bouffant and formed it carelessly.

Of course, if you do not want too much brightness, makeup can be more restrained - draw lips in the usual way, as well as eyes. And it is not necessary to create the image of the 20's forgetting about what you are: if you need a high heel, which wasn’t worn in those days, so put it on! It is not necessary to repeat exactly what it was then.

After a long break, we renew our project with a young participant named Ivan. And today I want to demonstrate CHANGE by means of the hair only. This is the rare case when the subtle nuances drastically change the impression of a person.

Ella

Ella

Hello! Today we have prepared the New Year release of “Change” project, and our guest’s name is Ella. Ella turned to us with a request to change herself by means of shorter haircut, but this idea seemed to me not perfect enough. In this case, long hair for such a young girl is real wealth, and I allowed myself to insist on keeping the length. For several reasons. First, a short haircut requires more attention to care, and Ella has not got such experience. So here she could be trapped by the real styling difficulties and frustrations. In fact, there was no need in the haircut in terms of proportion, style and harmony.

Today our guest is Anna. Anna asked us to help her choose an image for her new job, namely, a hostess in a nightclub, that is, the entertainment industry. For Anna, this is the first experience in such a field, and she approached the issue very carefully and responsibly: after all, this work involves a lot of communication with different people, and as for the appearance, it plays a significant role here.

We introduce you the participant of our project: meet Eva. Eva is having a date with a young man, and then they are going to a nightclub together. Eva asked us to color her hair and find a charming, passionate and youthful image for her to have a date and go out to the club.

Our today's guest is called Kate. And Kate was going to a party with her friends, but since Kate works hard and is very passionate about her work, she could not cope with her image herself! Therefore, she reached out to us to help her delicately prepare for this event. I immediately imagined the film "Sex and the City", the images of which inspired me: free and very attractive heroines.

Lesya

Lesya

Our guest asked us to change her hairstyle, but not very drastically. In general, her own style suited her but she was frankly bored with her hair. Lesya has got curly hair and, with the previous shape, her hair looked a bit heavy. So I thought that it was necessary to do something opposite, new and unusual in the hairstyle for Lesya. After talking to her, I came up with the idea of Yuppie's style: here you can straighten your hair, and exaggerate Lesya’s style, make it more pronounced without losing herself.

R&B

R&B

R&B style originates from the musical flow of rhythm and blues - the music of dark-skinned people from America, in the 1940s. And the modern name of R&B was formed around the 80s as a result of the merger of two musical styles - hip hop and rhythm-n-blues, which gave birth to a whole subculture. Today, the main feature of the style is a pronounced sexuality, ample curves, the desire for luxury and glamor. There’s passion for openly sexy clothes, short tops, combos, embroidered with sequins and, of course, tattoos!

Grunge

Grunge

Grunge style takes its roots in America in the 90s. Created as most subcultures by musical trends, people who deny and ignore generally accepted rules, the look of this style represented antiglamorous, antifashionable character. The silhouette initially had a more modest, chaotic and untidy appearance, untill thanks to Marc Jacobs’s good graces it entered the runways, which was a total surprise to the public.
