Backstage for Hair at Saint Augustine Academy SS 2010-11 at RAFW 2010

by POPSUGAR Beauty AU 1

When we grabbed Nathan Gorman backstage for a quick chat about the crazy hair looks at Saint Augustine Academy, he told us that the designer was inspired by the Crystal Ballroom, this music venue that was a "melting pot" of goth, punk and new wave in the '70s/'80s. The show was definitely music orientated, which Nathan said, "manifested in the hair," too. The one thing tying all of the unique styles together though was the texture: it was "soft, big, fluffy" and had a "natural curvature" to it. Nathan created the texture using Sebastian Professional products: lots of Thickefy Foam, Moulding Mud, Craft Clay, Shaper Zero Gravity, Trilliant and Re-Shaper. Here, Nathan talks us through the look . . .
