A feast for the eyes, Stella’s Presentation took us back to a time when 1940’s bombshells ruled. The night included entertainers with the ultimate pinup style created by Aveda Artist Sue Thompson, who used Volumizing Tonic™ for ample volume. Hair was then curled, fashioned into place and set with Air Control™ Light Hold Hair Spray.

Aveda Artist Pro Tip: “Be sure to create a gorgeous, deep side part,” Sue says. “That is the element that will make or break this look.”

True to Stella McCartney form, the women had beautifully simple hair to keep the focus on Stella’s stunning collection. In creating the looks, Antoinette gave the models luxurious blow outs and then used Pure Abundance™ Style-Prep™ and Damage Remedy™ Split End Repair to bring out the models’ natural textures.

Aveda Artist Pro Tip: “Don’t be afraid to let your natural texture shine through,” Antoinette says. “You want your hair style to emulate your distinct personality.”

The men on the sidelines looked refined and oh so cool. “Their hair was a suited look, inspired by the men of the 1940’s,” says Ricardo Dinis, Aveda Global Artistic Director, Hair Cutting, who used Aveda Men Pure-Formance™ Firm Hold Gel and Aveda Men Pure-Formance™ Pomade for the retro styles.

Aveda Artist Pro Tip: “When you apply the gel, start from the back and work your way forward using a comb to evenly distribute the gel to create a more polished look,” Ricardo says.
