The 90s Buns! - Hair for upcoming shoot!

I have been asked to design hair and make up to represent SS15 in an upcoming shoot. The shoot will be based on a magazine cover depending on the hair and make up I design and what magazine its best suited too. 

Ive spent a lot of time looking into the different hair trends for SS15 and what seems to be popping up the most off the catwalk. Ive also looked back at some of my previous research on London and New york fashion shows for SS15 in previous blog posts. 

I have decided that Im really loving the punk cross 90s themes that keep appearing on catwalks. For me it really stands out and hits home with me growing up in the 90s.

 When I see knots like these in the hair I think of the 90s however this hair style originates from Africa and is a style that has been worn traditionally for hundreds of years. Its a great style as it can be worn by any texture hair and length. Even my own! Also clearly any gender can rock this style
Recently Bantu knots have been seen on the catwalks for SS15 from the likes of campaigns such as Vivienne Westwood Red Label, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Christopher Shannon SS15, just to name a few!
One of the reasons I think this is such a popular trend is because we have gone 90s mad! (Which I think is a fantastic thing). Looking back at the 90s I remember the likes of Gwen Stefani, Lauryn Hill, Mel B and Janet Jackson all rocking the boyish punky hairstyle. 

Bantu Knots have also filtered there way through to editorial campaigns and have been worn by models such as Cara Delevingne for a recent DKNY campaign. Also it would be hard not to mention Rhianna's ID magazine photographs were she rocked a dark lip clean highlighted skin and some edgy bantu knots. Other celebs who seem to be loving the style include Rita Ora, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne.

When thinking about what Magazine to design the make up for, I feel with such a edgy style it seems only right to think about magazines such as ID, Paper, Pop in comparison to magazines such as Glamour or Marie Claire! 

I also feel the make up needs to follow the hair thats why when I realised I wanted to do such as style I felt it important to develop my ideas for the hair first and then think about what make up would compliment the hair according to whats popular for SS15. The great thing about this hair style is the make up can be really versatile and still compliment the make up. I mean a clean face would look great with the style as we have seen but so would a heavy smokey eye or a really dark lip! This means I have a lot to think about.
