London fashion week spring/summer 2014: marios schwab

Sam McKnight created aristocratic elegance for the Marios Schwab Spring/Summer 2014 show at London Fashion Week. Show: Marios Schwab Stylist: Sam McKnight, ghd global creative director The inspiration: Strong, aristocratic elegance with a nod to old Hollywood glamour. Sam was also  inspired by images of Greate Garbo in the Marios Schwab studio. The look: Reflecting the linear contours of the collection, Sam created a soft feminine look with hair swept off the face and with a fold in the back secured with a rose-gold clip. "The ghd eclipse styler was the key to creating the mirror-shine on this sleek, smooth, poker-straight look," said Sam, "Reflecting the linear contours seen in the Marios Schwab collection." [gallery ids="23285,23284,23282"] Get the look: Work mousse all the way through the hair and blow-dry flat to the head using the ghd air hairdryer. Sweep the front section of the hair back off the face and run the ghd eclipse styler through to ensure a sleek finish with mirror-like shine. Gather all of the hair at the nape of the neck and part three ways, being careful not to disturb the front section of the hair. Fold the right and left sections over the middle section, as if you’re going to start creating a braid. Secure the style with a large hair clip or slide then, to complete the look, run the ghd eclipse through the ponytail for added shine and a poker-straight finish.
