THE HAIR: “There’s this whole hip-hop eighties thing going on in the clothes, in the [runway] music. Remember how cool girls used to have undercuts and then tie up the rest of their hair?” said Palau of the updos he created by knotting the models’ hair into a virtual headscarf and painting over the surface haphazardly with white clay for an almost Basquiat effect. Worn with Wang’s scribble-print blouses and paint-splattered smock dresses, the models looked like a tribe of downtown party girls emerging from a day in the studio.
“There’s a nod to paganism…and the idea of getting back to nature,” said Guido Palau of his basket-woven hairpieces, which looked like the sewn-together husks of one’s childhood cornhusk dolls. “There are a lot of artisanal straw elements in the dresses and collars,” he added, explaining the look.

THE LOOK: Urban nomad
HAIR: “It’s soft, easy, a bit girly, the way a girl might do it herself,” said Palau of the haphazard braids he wove at random throughout models’ long straight hair.
“We washed the hair when the girls arrived to make it really soft and natural,” said Palau, who used Redken’s Extreme Shampoo. To fatten up very fine hair, he added Redken 06 Thickening Lotion before blowing it dry and braiding it down the back.
