On one hand, where India is witnessing a deluge of fashion weeks restricted to apparels only (known for their repetitiveness), on the other, contemporaries around the globe are busy churning out new ideas covering the other elements of fashion.

After the announcement of Shoe Fashion Week at the upcoming New York Fashion Week, there came Hair Fashion Show 2012 in Sao Paulo recently – giving a platform to the best of the hairstylists of the country.

Presented in a fully renovated format, the event focused on the relationship of trust and friendship between the hairdressers and their clients. The show featured the various styles by four major hairstylists in Brazil; Celso Kamura, Julio Crepaldi, Mario Silva and Wanderley Nunes.

The parades of the Hair Fashion Show 2012 sought inspiration from the trends shown by the Trend Vision, Wella study done by professionals. The catwalks offered major innovations in cutting and coloring, based on themes – Blaze, Grace, Celeste and Roxy.

The first trend presented was Roxy by Celso Kamura, who portrayed the styles of 70s and 80s with plenty of shine and color. The strong tones of purple, yellow and pink co-existed with bangs and volume.

The trend Celeste followed next, and it was Julio Crepaldi who interpreted it through futuristic hair and different head shapes. The presence of blond, strong tones of silver and use of technology defined the trend.

The third show was created by hairstylist Mario Silva who played with shades of blond and natural sand to interpret the trend Grace. The color that dominated the catwalks was the yellow gold which brought a touch of glamour to the show.

The last of the lot, Blaze was presented by Wanderley Nunes revolving around tango and sensuality of Latin women. The ramp witnessed the glitter of brown locks.
