Top stylists used L'Oreal Professionnel's Texture Expert and HOMME styling lines to create the season's hottest looks at New York Fashion Week. Styling two of the must-see shows - Zac Posen and Carlos Campos - L'Oreal Professionnel Texture Expert and HOMME created looks that matched the designers' inspirations and set hair trends for the upcoming season.

The Carlos Campos show marked the introduction of HOMME, L'Oreal Professionnel's new innovative men's collection of styling, color and care products. Also making a debut at both shows was the new Texture Expert Reverie/Realite collection, alongside favorites from the Texture Expert collection.

Zac Posen, February 19

World-renowned hair stylist Odile Gilbert created the hair design for the Zac Posen 2009 Fall/Winter Collection, which perfectly complemented the romantic and mystical energy of the collection, which included a performance by The Five Browns, a group of piano virtuoso siblings. Front row celebrities included Claire Danes, Rachel Bilson, Nicole Ritchie and Alicia Keys.

"The look is a French-inspired Josephine Bonaparte meets punk, with a lot of volume and texture. It has a messy, yet put together feel, as if it has been worn for several hours," notes Gilbert.

The hair was first prepped with L'Oreal Professionnel Texture Expert Expansion and curled then teased. Sections of hair were pinned and twisted to form the chignon all the while being generously sprayed with L'Oreal Professionnel Texture Expert Infinium #2, while allowing for continued styling. The headband was added once the chignon was set, then the front section of the hair teased and tucked into place. To finish the look, Gilbert and team sprayed L'Oreal Professionnel Texture Expert Infinium #4, for a strong hold and a hint of shine.

Carlos Campos, February 15

Renowned celebrity stylist, Ted Gibson, crafted sleek and contemporary hairstyles that complemented the uniform theme of the Carlos Campos 2009 Fall Collection.

The men's look Gibson created with L'Oreal Professionnel is a modern Clark Gable, with a deep side part of very shiny, highly quaffed hair that looks handsomely young.

Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs, youthful-looking 45-year-old, launched his own label back in 1986, was appointed as creative director at Louis Vuitton a decade later in 1997, and created his hugely popular diffusion label Marc by Marc Jacobs in 2001. In total, he puts on eight catwalk shows every year. He believes that good design and quirky fashion should be available to everyone, and for that reason, his stores sell products ranging from around £1 (for a compact mirror)to clothes with five-figure price tags.

American fashion designer Marc Jacobs's creations are perhaps the most imitative in the industry right now. His work creates such a buzz that it filters down from designer boutiques to the high street faster than tittle-tattle, and the chances are that, if you're even slightly interested in fashion, you'll have something in your wardrobe the idea for which originated in Jacobs' studio.

It is for this reason that the designer's autumn/winter 2009 New York Fashion Week show on Monday was so enthusiastically anticipated. This season's feature collections in the round of catwalk shows are the first to be conceived and manufactured during the depths of the critical situation, and are therefore the first opportunity to see how the financial climate will affect the way we will all be dressing over the coming year. Essentially, the way Jacobs chooses to respond to the depression will be the way we all do.

As for the collection itself, like many designers this season, he's looking back to the 1980s, with crayon-bright hues, big padded shoulders and even bigger hair.

Colourful and optimistic, Jacobs' collection suggested that perhaps women will respond to the financial climate by splashing out and dressing up.

"Marc Jacobs shows collections that are fashion-forward and just really cool," says Scottish fashion designer Scott Ramsay-Kyle.

Well he is the one designer to whom every level person likes and love him a lot just because of its fantastic and creative working. his outfits are superb.Overall he is a creative person having a good nature.

























Well overall his collection is superb it is basically a new touch to the old styles. a quite creative look also. his work is quite awesome.
