Ellen in NYC

I am leaving for Florida on Friday and I am looking forward to diving in the beautiful blue water.  I get so much inspiration from diving, I will put a new cut online for printing down load, so come back and see what new shape that has inspired me from the tropics and the sea.  I can hardly wait.  Tomorrow I am doing hair for L'Oreal's Centennial Celebration 50 years,  I will get some pictures of the event.  The interns will be dressed in period costumes and the hair will reflect the times.  Can't wait it will be fun. Come back and see the pictures....

Redken Symposium kicked off January 2009, and we are fast tracking to NYC Fashion Week in February. Symposium was an awesome experience. As for Fashion Week, I will be there with my kit to do hair and with my camera to take pictures backstage.  I have been working in NYC during fashion week for 13 years and am glad to be there for another season.       

Here in New York our latest designs are focused on disconnection, deep point cutting, cutting the perimeter last, and asymmetry with balance.  Lets take fashion for instance. We can have a dress that has a symmetric top with an asymmetric  hemline or just the other way around.  Lets think of a hair cut that has the same principles we can have asymmetry as long as it balances the head and body.  Designing clothes and hair have the same principles balance is key and knowing the fabric your working with.

I've just posted the Project Runway "behind the scenes" photos. Use this thread to let me know which are your favorites, and why.

Ellen took some photographs backstage during the hair styling for the Twinkle show. Have a look at them here.
