About "Fade To Light" - A Multidimensional Fashion Event

Sponsored by The Portland Mercury, KNRK 94.7 FM, Oni Press, OSI Photography, 80's Video Dance Attack and Hollywood Vintage
The Crystal Ballroom plays host to a dynamic fashion show where each designer was encouraged to think outside the box regarding their runway presentation. Fade to Light aims to not just be a fashion show, but to be an experience that leaves the viewer with a solid understanding of each designer and the collections being shown. Fade to Light is also about fostering creative talent in Portland and helping that talent succeed in the working world of the apparel industry.

Helen Mirren's Pink Hair

Love her new look... fun, fresh, playful...If you are going for something like this remember that it looks/photographs differently in different lights..Be open to the fun and use a dye that will fade gradually or a rinse.

Gray Hair, Blue Hair, Red Hair, Silver Hair...Color and Styles for ALL ages!!

 

One of my clients introduced me to an inspiring blog today while looking at the Sartorialist book in the salon....hundreds of photos and thoughts from fashion blogger Scott Schuman creator of  thesartorialist.com where he captures styles of everyday people in fashion hot spots like Milan, London, New York, ect.

Ari Seth Cohen created something similar for the older set on the streets of New York City.

Here are some of my favorites from her blog advancedstyle.blogspot .

One of my favorite silver foxes, Dame Helen Mirren. A few of her hairstyles that clients have brought in for me to replicate..

Summer is coming to an end...

Hot Mullet Men

Tonight I was watching The American Mullet


And, I realized there are a few mullets that I'm kind of okay with. Kid mullets, rock star mullets, biker mullets, punk/hipster mullets, soccer mullets.. I've only ever cut 2 mullets one was cool for a client who was in a band, and he tried all sorts of cuts. I always looked forward to cutting his hair because it might be a mullet, it might be a rat tail, it might be pretty much all shaved short with lines carved into his hair. But, I also did one in beauty school for a cross gender man that wanted to look like a woman...It wasn't cute. I wonder if I'll ever date a mullet man..It's not really my ideal style, but who knows..hahah

Here are the mullets I'm kind of into...
 

 At last Saturday's Timber's game I had such a hard time not cheering whenever David Beckham made a goal against our team. My friend Monica and I had the be
st time just watching him play.

 Brad Pitt sporting a mullet..

Some of my major celebrity crushes growing up...

 

A rock climber that I'd gladly cut his hair into some crazy style..I've always been a fan of Jason Kehl's creative, wild hair..

Okay Braveheart was a badass and he has a mullet.

A photo of Tegan and Sarah that has been brought into the salon before

One thing that I thought was funny in the Mullet movie..one of the guys seems to think that his mullet will attract lesbians..And, he seems to think that's a good thing because you know how much lesbians love men.. hhmm...I also like that lesbians don't want to hang out with the type of guy who has a mullet and mullet men don't want to hang out with lesbians, but this is a hairstyle they both share..It's kind of sweet...


OKAY I AM NOT PROMOTING THIS HAIRSTYLE...But, I have to admit I've had a crush on mullet men all my life I guess..I didn't even realize this...Now I think I would like all of them more with just a short kind of buzzed hair, but somehow the mullets work... It's a mystery. There is something wild about this hairstyle..It's usually not good...What do you guys think?

Pink/Purple Hair

Thank you to my lovely client Maia for introducing me to this fun color demo...And, I love her pegasis, glitter shirt at the end!!! So fun!!! 

I heart Audrey

Had a lovely Saturday night after a long day at the salon. This is my second month of netflix, and I've been catching up on movies...Tonight I spent the evening with Audrey Hepurn at Tiffany's... I think I saw this once at 17 because I loved Audrey Hepurn. I didn't really get it then. At 32 I can understand the girl that I dressed up as in college for Halloween in my black dress with a feather boa sewn to the bottom, sunglasses, long gloves, jewels, and a 40 of schlitz malt liquor in a classy white paper bag.
