At Paris Haute Couture Week designers were showcasing the most extreme and creative fashion but also a chance for hair and makeup artists to show just how inventive they can be. As dresses and outfits were bold and brash so did the makeup which took on a loud, fantasy style as bold colour was used in a playful, make-believe ways and the hair matched with large over the top styles.
Chanel used the wonderland concept where hair was sculpted into oversized bouffant’s, laced with streaks of silvery white and adorned with a giant, fluffy bow for a modern Little Bo Peep style a look which can be recreated yourself using ghd uplift spray on your roots backcomb then hold in place with a hair band and frizz out the ends.
Givenchy’s styles were long, straight tresses that were given a natural looking texture, with movement running through the lengths of the locks, matched with centre straights partings and tucked behind the ears and pouring down the back. This is probably one of the most easy styles to recreate all you need to do is spray your hair with protector spray and using your ghd straightners iron your hair flat and smooth.

If you work in the hospitality industry either in restaurants, bars or hotels sometimes you may find that your company work wear is not very stylish or flattering and a lot of times the style/size is one fits all for men and women. Many businesses choose to use their staff as walking advertisement not only to boost their profile but also make the staff easily identifiable by using t shirt printing on uniforms for their staff.
But sometimes the staff may need some better fitting and better style clothes to wear as their uniform, for women instead of a unisex baggy t-shirt a nice fitted women’s t-shirt or shirt would be better, would look smarter and improve staff morale. Places such as www.splashlogo.co.uk also offer digital transfer, embroidery, subli flock or DTG printing on clothing such as suits, shirts, aprons and great fitting tops, meaning there is something for everyone.
