You might remember that I had a chance to chat with Marco Santini at the Jeremy Laing S/S 10 show last season. Well, I didn't get a chance to see him in person this time, but I still wanted to know what he did for this season, besides just speak in a gorgeous accent. *sigh*

This is what I found out: this guy is crafty - literally:

The look was inspired by a "sketch of a whimsical fairy – the sketch isn’t perfect – there are no hard lines, but rather soft blurred lines that manage to form into a picture".

To achieve this look Santini used the following:
· An old-fashioned sewing needle
· Elastic string
· Davines DEDE Conditioner
· Davines For Wizards No. 4 Glossy Modeling Putty

"First, Santini wet hair with Davines DEDE Conditioner to condition and strengthen the hair without leaving it heavy. He then dried the hair and separated it into two sections. Backcombing by the nape of the neck, Santini used an old fashioned sewing needle and some elastic string to weave the hair together to create an organic ponytail. Lastly Santini applied Davines For Wizards No.4 Glossy Modeling Putty, a paste that creates texture and separation with natural movement, to the hair to finish the look."

The result had all of the models looking similar, but slightly different.

Davines products can be found in salons - just check on their website for locations.
