The 70s Blowout Fall/Winter 2016
The Diane Von Furstenberg FW16 show at New York Fashion Week featured gloriously glamorous 70s-inspired pieces, with lots of sassy spaghetti straps, plunging necklines, silk and sequins – a nod, perhaps, to the famously hedonistic New York nightclub, Studio 54, where Diane Von Furstenberg herself went dancing. As for the hair? The bouncy 70s Blowout hair created by stylist Orlando Pita for TRESemmé New York Fashion Week has a polished feel that transported models back to this disco decade with the flick of a round bristle brush
In their sequined gowns and satin jumpsuits, DVF's models shimmered on the runway, while va va voom volume and touchable texture ensured big, blowout hair that held its own against the dazzling metallic and jewel colours showcased in this collection. The overall effect was one that screamed confidence, luxury, and 70s glamour.
This blowout hairstyle is ideal for those occasions where you want to look perfectly put-together, but still keep hair loose and voluminous. You can create a sleek version with curled-under ends to get that bouncy feel, or go all out with bold waves – we saw both on the Diane Von Furstenberg FW16 catwalk and on the street. And while it’s a hairstyle that naturally lends itself to glamorous eveningwear, we spotted big 70s blowouts looking equally amazing worn tumbling over the collar of a cool leather jacket when it comes to everyday wear. It’s the classic styles that are always the most versatile!
Whichever way you want to wear it, The 70s Blowout is easy to achieve with just a hair dryer and a round bristle brush. Here’s how:
