Backstage at London Fashion Week with TONI&GUY International Artistic Director Cos Sakkas as he creates the Autumn/Winter ‘21 look for Paul Costelloe using label.m Professional Haircare

The Hair

What’s the inspiration behind the hair?

International Artistic Director and British Hairdresser of the Year nominee, Cos Sakkas along with the TONI&GUY Session Team embrace the craftsmanship of the classic chignon, with a strong, tailored, low side-parting to work with the silhouettes and tailoring of the collection.

The Collection

What’s the inspiration behind the collection?

To celebrate 35 years on the London Fashion Week Catwalk, the Paul Costelloe AW21 Collection is a reflection on Paul’s early days as a young designer in Paris in the late 60s and early 70s. With a sense of athleticism and freedom, Costelloe tailoring is back, in sculptured outerwear, sharp suiting and softly constructed eveningwear. Colours hit all the right Autumnal tones, with yellow ochre’s cedar greens, burnt oranges and midnight blues preented in bold checks, wool plaids and modern, geometric prints.

Get the look

Top Tip 1

Prep hair with label.m Volume Mousse, then create a strong and straight side parting.

Top Tip 2

Pull hair back into a ponytail at the nape of the neck, allowing for a soft sweep of hair at the front for feminity.

Top Tip 3

Put the ponytail into a fine hair-net and structure a clean, neat chignon – before setting with label.m Hairspray.
