Milan Fashion Week Recap

Paris Fashion Week begins today. In case you slept on Milan, here are a few of our favorite hair looks from Milan Fashion Week.



Jil Sander
The hair at Jil Sander was 60's inspired and sweet. The side-parted chignons, designed by lead hair stylist Guido Palau, had the structure of a wig wrap with a really beautiful, glossy finish.



Prada
At Prada, Guido did it again. Palau segmented the hair at the brows and gathered it into a low ponytail at the back of the head. He pulled out small pieces by the ears. The look was both young and sophisticated.



Dolce & Gabbana
For Fall 2011, the masculine feminine theme resurfaced in the Dolce & Gabanna collection. There were two hair looks for the models: a simple center part for the girls, and a voluminous side swept bang for the "boys," a textured version of the iconic hair of La Roux front woman Elly Jackson.

6 Quick and Easy Fashion Week Hairstyles

Fashion week is coming up. This time of year hardworking fashion girls are beyond busy but they still need to look great round the clock. Here are 6 fast and fashionable hairstyles for women on the go.

• Do a quick straightening with the Amika Ceramic Styler to make hair look clean and gorgeous. You can refresh the look each morning and in the evening, before you let loose.
• Everyone is wearing a hat this time of year and many keep them on indoors. If you are wear a hat, add some nice loose waves around your face using an Amika Tourmaline Curling Wand to look polished.
• Throw your hair in a messy bun. It looks romantic but keeps your hair out of your face so you can get down to business.
• Slick you hair back into a sleek high ponytail, the "pony to go." Go over the ends with an Amika Ceramic Styler for a finished look.
• The fishtail braid is very hot right now and it doesn't have to be executed to perfection. Do one quickly to the side (there are a lot of online tutorials out there to show you how). These braids also look great with a hat.
• Make people smile with a couple of cute and quick pigtail braids. They are girly and playful.

A big thanks to backstage hairstylist Michiko Boorberg for the suggestions!

Another fashion week veteran, one of our Amika models, also had a great tip! Carry an Amika Mini Purse Styler and bobby pins in your handbag. Then you are prepared to do a quick straighten and restyle wherever, whenever.
