Step-by-Step: Sleek Low Ponytail

Paying homage to old Hollywood glamour, Irina Vitjaz’s SS 2018 collection at New York Fashion Week combined elements of sophistication and elegance with free-flowing dresses and form-fitting jumpers. To match the glamour of the models, hair lead Michael Curtis created slicked-back, low ponytails.

“We wanted the hair to mimic the clothes without overpowering them. A sleek, matte-finish low ponytail is the definition of timeless elegance,” Curtis says.
