A Look At How Oribe Styled The Models At New York Men’s Day

Hair care has turned into a phenomenon that men are embracing in a variety of ways since it has long changed over the past decades. Most men were introduced to hairstyles that were influenced by musicians like Elvis Presley who sported the Pompadour, Jimi Hendrix who flaunted his afro, and today, athletes around the world popularized the Mohawk haircut — that varies in style.

It’s all about exploring what your hair can do, and having a relationship with a personal hairstylist that gets you. Knowing which styles fit your face structure, which tools and products create the best look, and understanding the difference between too much and too little. Highlighting the role hair plays in and outside of the fashion scene is important as it tells a story of the individual - the same way designers request specific styles, and shapes based on the story they are trying to tell. Every detail gives way for a seamless presentation.

At New York Men’s Day, the team at Oribe Hair Care worked with the designers to construct elevated, polished, and extravagant hair styles for each presentation based on the inspiration behind the collections and the designer’s vision. See below for thorough details on how to achieve some of the looks.
