In love with Oribe’s old school Hollywood glamour for Armani Privé

Backstage at the Armani Privé Fall 2010 couture show in Paris, iconic hairstylist Oribe channeled old Hollywood glamour, smoothing and curling each model’s hair into thick, luxurious manes with lots of body and sophisticated shine.
“The hair at Armani Privé was super‐soft and glamorous…it’s rich‐looking with a bit of texture,” he said after the show. “It’s a very blown‐out look that almost sweeps into the models’ faces. We kept a little curl at the front, with everything mostly straight at the back. We adapted the looks to let each girl’s personality show through.”
I personally think the look was totally perfect for Armani Privé as well as easily achievable for most of us long haired ladies, golden-hued or not. When asked how to recreate this soft and sexy little number at home, he told me, “start with a really soft blowout, making sure to keep quality texture”. His own brand Royal Blowout can create that soft effect. “You should be able to move the hair…there should be nothing stiff about it whatsoever,” he added. Next up, simply spray his Imperméable Anti‐Humidity Spray - or similar - all over to finish the look. “The key,” Oribe adds, “is to keep the hair really soft with beautiful movement.”
