Billy Reid SS15

Celebrity and runway stylist, Matthew Curtis created the looks for Billy Reid’s Spring/Summer 2015 menswear collection for New York Fashion Week. The collection was injected with a fun, fearless energy and combined playful prints with masculine colours. Hair was mildly coiffed for an undone look.

Session Stylist: Matthew Curtis

Hair Inspiration: Mildly coiffed hair for an undone look – think boys will be boys. For this simple style, it’s all about perfecting one’s own natural texture.

Kit bag essential: Volume and body mousse for a fluffy and light texture.

Step by Step

For guys with short hair:

• Simply blow-dry hair to the side using fingertips so it falls naturally.
• Lightly smooth down the hair around the sides to create a subtly styled look.
• Apply a small amount of mousse into hands and lightly scrunch into hair whilst blow-drying

Tip: Use more mousse for a fluffier texture

For guys with long hair:

• Simply rough blow-dry the hair backwards, away from the hair line, applying a small amount of mousse for added texture.
• Using a hair band, loosely tie the hair back into a ponytail, allowing natural pieces of the hair to fall around the face.

Tip: The key to this look is not to spend too long smoothing it or perfecting it, as this tends to create more of a feminine feel.
