Backstage with Bumble & bumble at LFW # 1 Emilio de la Morena
On Sunday the MDW team went backstage with Tomo Jidai for Bumble and bumble, who created the hair for Emilio de la Morena’s A/W 08 show.
Understated, matte-look ponytails reflected the combination of masculine yet feminine styling throughout Emilio’s collection with soft, textured quiffs off-set by slick polished side panels.
Tomo used a combination of Bumble and bumble Styling Lotion, Thickening Lotion and Surf Spray to create the look and finished with Classic hairspray… the ponytail still reigns supreme.
