Badgley Mischka is always one of the most glamorous and exciting shows of New York Fashion Week. Always classic and always stunning, the designers didn’t dissapoint this season with gorgeous red party frocks and lots of fantastic beading and detail work. Redken key stylist Peter Gray kept hair clean and sculptural to match the polished pieces.

The hair look, which included a very sculptural origami-like twist on the bun, was inspired by a 1950s Jetsons vibe. I chatted with Gray while he was finishing up Chanel Iman’s style, above right.

“There were a lot of scalloped tops, the tops go down, so let’s make the hair go up,” Gray said. “It’s modern and funky, but uses classical techniques.”  To create the style, the team used Redken Guts and the new Aerate 08 Bodifying Cream Mousse.

Gray was the first to admit this isn’t the most achievable look to copy at home.

“It’s aspirational, it’s what the red carpet is all about, taking it to another level, a fantasy,” he said.
