IN THE HEIGHTS
For Zac Posen's fall 2009 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City, renowned stylist Odile Gilbert used the L'Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert styling line to create this elegant and slightly undone chignon. "The look is a French-inspired, Josephine Bonaparte-meets-punk, with a lot of volume and texture," says Gilbert, who prepped the hair with L'Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert Expansion, a body-activating mousse, then curled and teased it. The headband was added once the style was set. —L.M.
