Amazon by Raffel Pages
The image of the beautiful women warriors from Greek mythology lives on in Raffel Pages' collection. Beauty and strength are expressed through elaborate updos that would have made the Amazon queen Penthesilea jealous. The weapons might have changed, but the Amazon spirit lives on in modern women.
Pages' looks share some classic lines with antiquity and are worthy of very special occasions. Playful accents and a soft construction, put together with sparkling creativity, make these looks modern and flattering for a glamorous and powerful appearance.
Backroll with Wings
A beautiful variation on the ponytail comes flying in with soft wings styled along the sides. The hair is pulled back with a lightness and casual feel. The teased and sprayed edges of the side sections are away from the head to give them their wing-like character.
The back features a play on a banana roll that forms the base for the long and thick ponytail, which spills out at her nape. Elaborate technique creates a look of simplicity and elegance with a hint of eccentricity, making it the perfect companion to a strapless or open-back dress.
Braids and Curls
Combining large curls and braided accents creates a beautiful texture in the hair that makes the eyes wander and discover more details. With its regal height, this look is truly fit for a queen, feather cape or not.
A mass of hair is piled up in a round shape on top of the head with narrow sides and a few loose strands wispying out. Her forehead is framed on the left and right with two thick braids that snake up from behind the ears and eventually get lost in the curly decadence of well-defined locks with a touch of messiness and wildness.
Braided Chignon
Braids are a great way to keep hair under control while adding a classic vibe. Her vanilla-colored hair is styled back to shape soft curves on the sides, framing her face. A center part spreads its minimalistic charm, but around the back, there is nothing simple about this updo.
A thick braid wraps around the center and is pinned to a beautifully patterned chignon. Just a couple of strands fall into her face, preparing her for a romantic battle.
Roped Upstyle
With this huge rope on her head, she is set to capture lonely hearts. A bit of Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and a touch of Athena create an irresistible mix of classic and modernity.
The alluring headpiece starts with a high ponytail. The length of the hair is then twisted upon itself, and a thinner strand is rolled around it for more texture. Highlights in the hair enhance the sculptural effect. The front ends are tucked under for a quiff-like structure that hovers over her face.
