Fashion Week SS 09: Backstage at 3.1 Phillip Lim

The Look behind Phillip Lim for Spring 2009 was Eva Peron meets Juliet Lewis. It was all about giving the ’40s look in a more a modern feel and shape. “This look is very intricate but the off-center bun above the ear is a very elegant, sophisticated evening look.” - Odile Gilbert

Get the Look/Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Create a deep side part and section hair off behind the ear. Spray with Air Control Hair Spray and brush through to smooth.

Step 2: Create a high pony tail right above the right ear and secure in place with an elastic.

Step 3: Divide pony in half and roll each section around a “rat” (small hair sponge), creating a cylinder-like shape. Hold in place with pins and spray with Air Control Hair Spray.



Step 4: Repeat with other section of pony tail, creating a bow-like shape.

Step 5: Apply a small amount of Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip throughout remaining section of hair on other side of the head. Spray with Air Control Hair Spray before wrapping hair down and around the back of the head along the hair line, and up around the base of the pony tail. Secure with pins throughout to keep in place.



And for my guys out there reading this blog (do you exist???) I got you covered as well:

Step 1: Spray hair with water and comb through to moisten.

Step 2: Mix Aveda Men Pure-formance Pomade and Men Pure-formance Grooming Clay together in hands and comb throughout hair from top to bottom.

Step 3: Create a severe, deep side part and smooth using a fine tooth comb.

Aveda Products Used:
Air Control Hair Spray
