Fall 2009 Trends Watch – The Dark Amazons (pg 4)

THE DARK AMAZONS

Dark, dominant and deeply sexy, the warriors of style are taking control. Referencing post-apocalypse classics like Bladerunner and Mad Max, we see cigarillo-thin stilettos, leather that’s moulded on the body, long fluid dresses slashed to the hip, and knicker-skimming boots. This full-throttle fashion demands equally dominant hair, which comes definitively straight, precision cut, or styled in up-dos like headdresses. Colours intentionally seek conflict: stark blondes amidst negating shades of black and inky purple. Beautifully brutal, these looks could kill with desire.

ESSENTIAL Product for The Dark Amazons: BLONDME Shine Magnifying Spray to bring intense shine to any hair colour.

The ESSENTIAL LOOKS team for Autumn/Winter 2009 was led by Schwarzkopf Professional Global Ambassador Tom Kroboth, who says: “This season hair plays such a strong part of the overall fashion directions, that it is an essential part of everyone’s wardrobe. There is a high-energy vibe running through both fashion and hair, with quirky and sensual looks that translate across both haute couture and more wearable styles.”
