GLAMORAMA

Intercoiffure America/Canada has just released their latest collection of styles, Glamorama.

Intercoiffure America/Canada is a prestigious hairdressing organization that Mouton's Salon has been a member of since 1994. www.intercoiffure.us The America/Canada chapter is part of the larger organization, Intercoiffure Mondiale. http://www.intercoiffure-mondial.org/en/index.php

Every year, each world chapter releases a style shoot, which reflects the fashion director's creative vision for that year. This new release by Fashion Director, Vivienne MacKinder, reflects fashion dipping into the nostalgic past, by celebrating iconic images like those of Brigette Bardot and Sophia Loren. The styles in this 50's inspired collection feature bold shapes, dressed and backcombed, with architectural elements added to the classic bouffant.

Vivienne and her team shot this short video during a photographic workshop in New York, NY.

Intercoiffure Mondial New York Atelier

We have recently returned from New York City for our yearly atelier with fellow Intercoiffure Mondial members. Here are the hair and fashion trends for the upcoming season as interpreted by our industry.

For hair color, we are no longer doing high lights over color, we are now doing color over high lights. We still will have dimension in the hair, but it will be much more subtle, soft, and shiny. The color we use at Mouton's is a company from Germany, which has a patented shine molecule. Next season we will see more believable blonds, rich, soft, shiny brunettes, and true red heads.

The colors for the upcoming seasons are modern, yet not cold. Gina Khan, Creative Director for Intercoiffure describes this concept by comparing hair to "shot silk- where the interplay of colors between warp and weft create a shimmering surface of pure tones. You see the hair color change with the changing light. The dimension is sublte...no stripes or panels".

For hair cuts, the most predominant trend is individuality. What's most flattering and conducive to your facial structure and growth directions is in fashion. Also, the hair styles are fuller and have more femininity. The shapes are very touchable and free, yet still have form. It is also important to remember that your color and cut are a team and should compliment each other.

Every season we learn what the new black is. For Spring and Summer, purple is the new black. Scott Cole, the North American Fashion Director summarized Spring fashion by saying, "It's a style that beautifully compliments Spring's diversely textured, layered fashions- flowing lines that cleverly disort the female shape".

New York Trend Release

We have just received word that our New York Collection will be featured in an industry magazine, American Salon. We are awaiting confirmation as to which issue.

New York Photo Shoot

In May, Teresa and Bruce traveled to NewYork in order for Teresa to participate in a photo shoot with JLGlobal Media. It was the first time that the entire JLGlobal Media Group had gotten together to produce a "collection." After several years of shoots that included doing your models, and trying to produce your specific looks, it was refreshing to get together to create an entire collection based upon a collective view. We really enjoyed this new experience.
