Muse is inspired by the modern integration of world cultures, globalization and the reality of a borderless world. Emiliano Vitale is using CURL and SHAPE, taking the textures from particular periods and mixing them with shapes of a different time, creating a new moment, NOW!
1940s waves, 1950s quiffs and the 1980s curls are used as inspiration for the hairstyles for this modern day MUSE. Particularly fascinating is the relationship of light and shape, and it's used again with MUSE to reflect a thought, a feeling, a rebellion.
Classic Wave Hairstyle
A modern day muse, she is the hero of the collection. Inspired by the romantic, structured waves and curls of the 1940s, the hairstyle transcends the borders of time, culture and style. She captures the elegance of a bygone era, fused with sultriness of modern-day.
After an application of TIGI Catwalk Extra Strong Mousse, the hair was curled with a 3/4 inch barrel tong, before being brushed out and moulded into the classic wave. Finished with a spritz of TIGI Catwalk Work It Hairspray.
Carefree Curly Hairstyle
Revisit the set of cult 80s hit, Dynasty, and you'll find the inspiration for Alexis. Feminine and sexy, there is a carefree, yet structured movement to this shape; softness but strength around the face. The long hair was tonged with a larger barrel and then brushed out.
Using a wide-tooth comb and dryer, the width and height at the front hairline was accentuated, creating the ultimate flick. TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Thickening Gel was applied before drying, and the hair was finished with TIGI Your Highness Hard Hold Hairspray and Shine Spray.
Quiff Shape Short Hairstyle
Taking inspiration from the classic quiff, a rebellious feel and strength have been instilled by blending geometric lines with a slight curl. TIGI BedHead Queen for a day was used to prep the hair, before blow-drying it into the quiff shape.
The look was finished with TIGI Bed Head Hard To Get Paste and a light spritz of TIGI Bed Head Head Rush Shine Spray.
Braided and Pinned Hair
Curve is the true meshing of technique, texture and balance, inspired by modern day with 80s braids. The hair was braided and pinned behind the head. Hairpieces in multiple colors were used to build a shape on the crown, using a crimped texture.
Additional extensions were then attached before cutting into a deep fringe. These multiple hair extensions were held in place with a braided focal piece.
Key products used were TIGI Catwalk Camera Ready Spray and TIGI Catwalk Work It Spray.
Roughed-Up Curly Hair
A beautiful variation of Muse, yet this time infusing the hairstyle with the strong influence of mid 80s curl, yet with a rougher, more modern texture to give the hairstyle a lived-in feel. The hair was set with a medium roller, then moulded and brushed to give a roughed-up finish.
A combination of TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Root Boost Spray and Thickening Gel was used to set & style. The style was finished with a misting of TIGI Your Highness Hard Hold Hairspray.
1980s Short Crop Haircut
The ultimate Muse shape, Dream Girl draws inspiration from Demi Moore's short crop haircut from the late 1980s, yet working with the model's natural texture to give it the Muse twist. The hair was undercut from the drop zone down, leaving the top longer. It was then finger dried allowing the natural curl to open up and take its own shape.
Before finger drying, a combination of TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Curl Booster and TIGI Curl Amplifier were used, before finishing with TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Hairspray and TIGI Camera Ready Shine Spray.
