Drawing inspiration from the Great Barrier Reef with a collection titled Eternal Phi, Melbourne girl Kit Willow took her eponymous label to New York Fashion Week recently with the help of ghd.

With illustrious session stylist and ghd hair director Renya Xydis in tow, ghd made waves at Willow’s stunning ocean inspired spring/summer 2010 show.

 

Drawing on the colours of the ocean – sand, gold, metallics, mother-of-pearl and azure blue – Willow evoked the stunning sea scapes of north-eastern Australia. The label’s signature draping featured alongside tailoring, corsetry, metallic trims, rope detailing and shell embellishments that beautifully complemented the deep-sea theme – all of which was augmented by Xydis’ natural looking locks.

“I wanted the Willow look to be natural, elegant and effortless but also incorporate a dishevelled structure,” said Xydis.

“I created a beautiful, effortless ponytail with an undone, fluffy texture created with ghd fat hair lotion through the crown and blow dryed and teasing it through with a brush before securing it at the nape of the neck in a looped ponytail.”

This year’s show is not the first time Willow has partnered with ghd – the solid relationship has its roots in the famed Australian label’s 2005 New York debut.
