Beauty on the runway: Up-do with sculptural style

Want to capture the up-do worn by the models during the Zac Posen fall 2012 runway show?

John Frieda Global Creative Consultant Luigi Murenu created the style and his vision seamlessly blended the timeless glamour of the 1950s and the allure of Japanese sophistication. The result: a sculptural style with a twist of couture.

 ”For sleek, flawless up-dos with clean lines, I wanted the look to evoke not just a different era, but a special cultural experience as well,” Murenu said.  “The structure and craftsmanship of the styles are meant to suggest an aspirational time and place. My goal was to make the models look like what I envisioned a modern geisha to be, infused with the sleek simplicity of 1950s Hollywood glamour.”

Posen’s inspiration evoked the exotic, delicate elegance of Japanese architecture. Inspired by the minimalist yet impactful aesthetic of Japan’s structural designs, the innovative collection puts a modern spin on traditional silhouettes.
