Redken Rocks Alberta Ferretti @ Milan Fashion Week!

Posted by Pinkie Tuscadero on

redken milan fashion week2Redken Creative Consultant Guido created a modern romantic (or perhaps modern-yet-romantic!) French twist for the Alberta Ferretti Fall 2013 show to kick off Fashion Week in Milan today. The style was in essence a reflection of the collection itself: the clothes were pretty and feminine yet exuded more strength and structure than we usually see from the designer, while Guido played with a new texture for the hair, giving a traditional French twist more shape and tenacity in a similar way.

“I really used quite a lot of product to help me create the style for this look today, as I wanted to ensure it wasn’t too soft or too pretty of a French twist. By first drenching wet hair in Redken’s full frame 07 mousse I created a different texture- and the texture is what gives the look another dimension. I then added the new high hold Redken control addict 28 hairspray, layering it on as the style dried to keep it stiff, strong, and wet looking. You see then that the hair really becomes almost a different substance; it’s romantic yet also modern and more ‘nighttime’, even a little tougher, and cooler.”
– Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

On July 6 2013, The world’s leading dance event, Sensation premieres its new show ‘Into the Wild’. This latest show of the ‘world’s leading dance event’ is all about seduction, the classic ritual between man and woman. The game of seduction starts early evening and will end in the dead of night, when animal instincts have taken over. Sensation promises its fans the most intimate show until now. This Dutch premiere kicks-off the international tour that will visit more than 20 countries. Forty thousand music aficionados from over seventy-five countries are expected for what yet again promises to be an unforgettable experience. 

The Hunt Is On

‘’Into The Wild’ compares the nightlife in 2013 with the universal laws of the animal kingdom,” says founder Duncan Stutterheim. Searching for prey, catching it and later on celebrating victory. The Amsterdam Arena will be transformed into a white oasis. To change the stadium into a sweltering jungle an organic world has been created: a Avatar like jungle. The light shows and pyro effects, amongst other things, will create a futuristic atmosphere.

The Next Level

‘’Sensation is an experience,’’ continues Stutterheim. ‘’Together with the audience, the acrobats, artists and DJ’s create an unforgettable atmosphere. ‘Into the wild’ will be our most spectacular show ever. Crowd participation is a very significant part of this show. The enthusiasm of our visitors, combined with the innovative special effects, forms an important element of the success of every Sensation show. With ‘Into the wild’ we are taking it to the next level. Nobody will be able to escape this lecherous hunt.’’
