Hairstyles

One of the highlights for me from New York Fashion Week was going backstage at the Adrienne Vittadini Fall 2011 presentation, where the beautiful Tippi Shorter, Global Stylist for Avon, took some time out from her busy schedule to share the inspiration and techniques used to create the hair looks for the show. Mind you, this was no ordinary show: Adrienne opted to showcase the wearable, classic collection on some of the most legendary models in the business, including the incomparable Pat Cleveland (who you'll see in the video), Carmen Dell'Orefice, Niki Taylor and many others.

"When you style hair for the red carpet you have to take into account that it must look good from every angle," said Danilo. "I wanted her hair to have the ability to be undone, have movement, and be shiny, but didn't want her to worry about it all night which is why a half-up style was the perfect choice."
