Runway Trend: Updos

The classic updo gets a new twist on the spring 2010 runway

Channeling Audrey Hepburn at Romona Keveza

"For the updos, I wanted the models' hair off the shoulders in order to highlight the dramatic necklines," says designer Romona Keveza. "We created soft bouffants reminiscent of Breakfast at Tiffany's, which also worked wonderfully with our veils."

French twist at Carolina Herrera

"Each style created for Carolina Herrera was inspired by world-renowned painters such as Van Gogh," says hair stylist Edward Tricomi of Warren-Tricomi salon. "The French Twist was created for several dresses, but this look is timeless and classic with the softness against her face."

With chignon on top at Amsale

"We like thinking of this look as the updated French Twist," says designer Amsale. "A deep part and heavy bang give a retro feel, while keeping the look modern."

Letting loose at Priscilla of Boston

"The collection had a classic/tradtional yet modern/hip component, and I wanted to have the same feel for the hair," says Priscilla of Boston designer Tracy Uomoleale. "I love the clean off-the-face look, and the height to the crown gives it an edgier feel."

Soft updo at Angel Sanchez

Hairstylist Meagan Hester created this deconstructed look for Angel Sanchez. "This is a soft elegant updo," says Hester. "Texture is needed, and sometimes backcombing (teasing) the whole head beforehand will give you better texture. If your hair is curly you may want to blowdry it straight, or you can get a different look with it curly."

Side view at Melissa Sweet

"We wanted a fresh, clean feel for the hair and love the idea of a bun; but it was too tradtional," says Melissa Sweet designer Lia McNairy. "By being on the side this give it a non-traditional feel."
