FASHION WEEK AW23 LOOKS
A. ROEGE HOVE
A. Roege Hove is a conceptual knitwear brand that challenges tradition with a modern and artistic approach to original craftsmanship and a goal that silhouettes should be both effortless and extravagant. The unique designs are created by the founder Amalie Røge Hove. The designer wanted diversity in her model cast and this should also be seen in the hair. It was important to find the perfect balance between a uniform and 'done' look and still preserve and highlight the different hair textures of all the models. The overall look had references to the 80s with volume on top and slightly angular sides.
THE 80'S BLOWDRY LOOK
Sidsel Lysell Riisberg, ZENZ Key Hair Stylist, explains: “For this look, we created an 80s inspired blowdry look with angular sides and volume on top. We started by making the hair a bit wet and added a pump of Hair Styling Mousse Sweet Orange no. 91 and Styling Gel Sweet Orange no. 12 to the sides. Then we divided the hair into sections, where we sprayed each section with Volume Hair Spray Pure no. 86 and then blow dry the sections with a round brush. Finally, we used Volume Hair Powder Pure no. 89 to create texture and volume and finished the look with Finishing Hair Spray Pure no. 88.”
LATIMMIER
Latimmier is a new ready-to-wear brand by the Finnish fashion talent Ervin Latimer. Latimmier's collections are designed for anyone who wants to express masculinity through their clothes. The brand aims to expand the concept of masculinity by challenging who can express masculinity and what kind of clothes can be used to do so. The designer is very good at typecasting models, as he wants them to be a character themselves, which he can build his looks around. He wants to create a very personal look and always has a lot of creative ideas, for example letting the visible seams from the clothes to be a detail in the hair looks.
THE TEXTURE LOOK
Sidsel Lysell Riisberg, ZENZ Key Hair Stylist, explains: "For a few of the models, we created a look where the volume was pulled out to make room for the angularity and for the texture at the ends. We started by making the hair a bit wet and then added a combination of Hair Styling Mousse Sweet Orange no. 91 and Styling Gel Sweet Orange no. 12. Then we let the hair air dry to bring out the natural texture.”
THE SOFT WAVES LOOK
Sidsel Lysell Riisberg, ZENZ Key Hair Stylist, explains: “For the models with longer hair, lots of moisture was needed. We therefore made a conditioner spray with a mixture of water and Conditioner Pure no. 02. This mixture was sprayed into the hair followed by a little Styling Gel Sweet Orange no. 12 in the ends."
"We recreated details from the collection in the hair of selected models. On one of the models, I fixed his hair on one side by applying Finishing Hair Spray Pure no. 88 and heated it up with a hair dryer, section by section. When the hair was in slace, I could sew white yarn into his hair." says Sidsel.
THE BLUE STICHING LOOK
"One of the models had to walk with a blue piece of art on the catwalk. We used the blue yarn from the art piece on the model. The shapes are inspired by the Finnish artist Sasha Huber." says Sidsel.

GUIDE TIL COPENHAGEN
FASHION WEEK AW23 LOOKS
A. ROEGE HOVE
A. Roege Hove er et konceptuelt strikmærke, der udfordrer traditioner med en moderne og kunstnerisk tilgang til originalt håndværk og et mål om, at silhuetter skal være både ubesværede og ekstravagante. De unikke designs er skabt af grundlæggeren Amalie Røge Hove. Designeren ønskede diversitet i sit modelcast og det skulle også ses på håret. Det var vigtigt at finde den perfekte balance mellem et ens og ‘done’ look og stadig bevare og fremhæve de forskellige hårstrukturer hos alle modellerne. Det overordnede look havde referencer til 80’erne med volumen på toppen og let kantede sider.
THE 80'S BLOWDRY LOOK
Sidsel Lysell Riisberg, ZENZ Key Hair Stylist, forklarer: “Til dette look skabte vi et 80’er inspireret blowdry look med kantede sider og volumen på toppen. Vi startede med at fugte håret lidt og tilføjede et pump Hair Styling Mousse Sweet Orange no. 91 og Styling Gel Sweet Orange no. 12 til siderne. Herefter opdelte vi håret i sektioner, hvor vi sprayede hver sektion med Volume Hair Spray Pure no. 86 for derefter at føntørre sektionerne op med rundbørste. Til slut brugte vi Volume Hair Powder Pure 89 for at skabe tekstur og volumen og afsluttede looket med Finishing Hair Spray Pure no. 88”
LATIMMIER
Latimmier er et nyt ready-to-wear brand af det finske modetalent Ervin Latimer. Latimmiers kollektioner er designet til alle, der ønsker at udtrykke maskulinitet gennem deres tøj. Mærket har til formål at udvide begrebet maskulinitet ved at udfordre, hvem der kan udtrykke maskulinitet, og hvilken slags tøj der kan bruges til det. Designeren er rigtig god til at typecaste modeller, da han ønsker, at de skal være en karakter i sig selv, som han kan bygge sine looks op omkring. Han vil gerne lave et meget personligt look og har altid en masse kreative idéer, fx at lade de synlige syninger fra tøjet gå igen i hår looks.
TEXTURE LOOK
Sidsel Lysell Riisberg, ZENZ Key Hair Stylist, forklarer: “Til et par af modellerne kreerede vi et look hvor volumen var trukket ud for at gøre plads til det kantede og til teksturen i spidserne. Vi startede med at fugte håret og tilføjede herefter en kombination af Hair Styling Mousse Sweet Orange no. 91 og Styling Gel Sweet Orange no. 12 hvorefter håret fik lov til at lufttørre for at fremhæve den naturlige tekstur.”
SOFT WAVES LOOK
Sidsel Lysell Riisberg, ZENZ Key Hair Stylist, forklarer: “Til modellerne med længere hår var der brug for masser af fugt. Vi lavede derfor en Conditioner-spray med en blanding af vand og Conditioner Pure no. 02. Denne blanding blev sprayed i håret efterfulgt af lidt Styling Gel Sweet Orange no. 12 i spidserne.”
"Vi genskabte detaljer fra kollektionen i håret på udvalgte modeller. På en af modellerne fikserede jeg hans hår på den ene side ved at påføre Finishing Hair Spray Pure no. 88 og så varmede det op med hårtørrer, sektion for sektion. Da håret var på plads, kunne jeg sy hvidt garn i hans hår." fortæller Sidsel.
BLUE STICHING LOOK
”En af modellerne skulle gå med et blåt kunststykke på catwalken. Vi brugte det blå garn fra kunststykket på modellen. Formerne er inspireret af den finske kunstner Sasha Huber." fortæller Sidsel.
