Redken Creative Consultant Guido created a simple yet strikingly elegant hairstyle at the Ralph Lauren Spring 2013 show. This style fitted perfectly underneath the hats many of the girls in the show wore (and looked great even after the models took them off) but also worked on it’s own, achieving the ‘complete feeling’ that Guido said he was trying to accomplish with this minimal, classic look either way.

“This whole look had a Gaucho-inspired feeling; picture a very elegant Argentine woman.  It’s a very chic, put-together style.  While 90 percent of the girls are wearing hats in this show, it was still very important to make the chignons as small and as refined as possible. This look goes along with what I typically think we create in New York in that it’s very American and wearable, but in a different way than the styles I created for some of the newer designers earlier in the week.”-Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
