ORIBE AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: FALL/WINTER 2018

The Blonds | Key Hair: Kien Hoang for Oribe Hair Care

Daphne Guinness, renowned art collector, designer and model, served as avant-garde muse for The Blonds’ latest collection. Each head-to-toe look more eccentric than the next, the Fall/Winter 2018 show juxtaposed the idea of evil versus aristocracy with a hint of rebellion. Oribe Director of Training and Content, Kien Hoang, accompanied the crystalized costumes with big, outer-worldly hair and described the pack of models as “a power alien army.”

John Elliott | Key Hair: Kien Hoang for Oribe Hair Care

John Elliott, cult menswear designer, debuted his first women’s collection by mixing the ideas of hard versus soft and masculine versus feminine. Oribe Director of Training and Content, Kien Hoang, styled both male and female models, opting to express the softer, more subtle side of the fusion. Lived-in texture and natural waves paired well with the street-style vibe.

Chromat | Key Hair: Kien Hoang for Oribe Hair Care

An outdoor adventure of neon hues hit the runway during Chromat’s Fall/Winter 2018 show.
