Kevin Murphy: Head Back Down Under For Myer SS'15 Fashion Parade

KEVIN MURPHY HEADS BACK TO THE AUSSIE RUNWAY

TO STYLE THE MYER SPRING SUMMER 15 FASHION LAUNCH PARADE

Global hair editorial guru, Kevin Murphy, is heading back home to Australia to direct the hair for the Myer SS15 Fashion Launch Parade.

The much-anticipated event will be held at Carriageworks in Sydney on Thursday 7 August, showcasing the latest looks in fashion, hair and make-up to a VIP audience.

This year will feature the latest designer labels to join the Myer family, including, By Johnny, Little Joe Woman and L by Lisa Ho, with acclaimed fashion designer, Alex Perry, opening the show. The event will also see the Face of Myer, Jennifer Hawkins, walk the runway, as well as Myer Ambassadors Kris Smith and Kate Peck.

Assisted by a team of 24 Session.Stylists, Murphy will be responsible for the creation and execution of the hairstyles of the parade’s female and male models, with James Nicholson and Nathan Gorman at the helm as co-hair directors. The hair look will see pops of pastels incorporated, including candy pinks and purples, baby blue, lemon and mint green, with the aim of amplifying the depth of colour in the SS15 Collection as well as complementing the soft makeup look.

“I’m very excited to be working with Myer on this prestigious event for the sixth season,” says Murphy.

“Spring Summer collections are always playful and colourful, so it really is a time when we can experiment with hair on the runway, which I’m looking forward to.”

INSPIRATION

“We wanted the hair look to be whimsical and romantic, taking inspiration from water and the ocean”

“Soft pastels and hair colour is really the trend of the season, but we wanted the look to be classic still, so the style of the hair has notes of the 190s and 1940s”

GET THE LOOK

Step 1: Prime using Hair.Resort.Spray ($34.95) when the hair is dry

Step 2: Part the hair off centre and using a medium tong, tong the hair on the front and top to create volume.

Step 3: Loosely braid both sides back toward the nape

Step 4: Stitch with hair elastic, rolling up away from hairline, toward the nape. The aim is to create a Katharine Hepburn silhouette

Step 5: Once the style has been created, apply Fresh.Hair ($32.95) and White.Bug ($24.95) liberally until 'Marie Antoinette' white hair is achieved, then seal with Session.Spray ($29.95)

Step 6: It’s time to get creative with colour! Pick your favourite Color.Bug ($24.95) and rub into the hair, then finish with Shimmer.Shine ($39.95).

Tip: Depending on the colour intensity you want, apply Night.Rider on first, then rub in Color.Bug for a bright colour. For a softer tone, apply Color.Bug gently over Hair.Resort or Fresh.Hair

I've been using Sunset Body Balm for a now, its really helped restore moisture back into my skin and also giving that sweet, fragrance scent that's perfect for preparing the skin for Summer. The formula is a thick, white cream that can be easily applied to the skin in small amounts, the scent is very powerful, and smells exactly like frangipanis.

The scent does last all day, and that's without lifting my arm up to my nose to smell it. I've always been asked what kind of fragrance I wear, then when I say its actually a body balm, people tend to get shocked. Within a couple of days, my skin started to feel a lot more softer and smoother. Even without applying it, I still had the frangipani scent on me.


I really like how Sugar Baby advertises their products within the store and also detail to packaging. Everything in their range is very affordable, with great quality and results. The formula comes in a circular brown tinted, plastic container with a rose gold screw lid. Packaging is kept nice and simple, definitely eye catching enough.

This body balm is suitable for all skin types, as it doesn't irritate the skin nor has that thick feeling towards the skin. It absorbs very fast, and the scent is amazing! Even perfect to apply straight after waxing / shaving. I'm super happy with the results I received from this body balm, I recommend everyone to dash out and buy this product. Its a must have!
