Celebrating the inextricable link between hair and fashion, Catwalk by TIGI have collaborated with Talent Management design favourite Christopher Kane to create an iconic hair accessory for the Autumn/Winter 2012 season.

The result? TIGI’s inimitable hair styling alongside Christopher Kane’s leather-esque binding and playful knots creates a modern take on the hair band that the hair models at the agency are loving.

Kane also seemed excited about this collaborative effort: “I used accents of black leather in my AW12 collection and so wanted to create a hairband for TIGI that had the same attitude. A double strand in soft mock leather adds toughness and strictness and keeps the hair controlled and modern.”

The synergy between TIGI’s Creative Director Nick Irwin and Christopher Kane perfectly illustrates the bond and shared creative vision between hair stylist and designer.

“We believe hair and fashion are intrinsically linked” said Irwin. “It’s important that we translate the ideas we create backstage at catwalk shows into looks that girls can wear in their everyday lives and do themselves”

Kane’s carefully considered styling combined with Irwin’s unique approach to hair has generated a series of model images that illustrate TIGI’s super modern take on hair with Kane’s accessory as a key element to the overall look.

“I love this hairband as it has a multitude of uses and really channels Christopher’s A/W12 main collection” Irwin added. “Place the band around the head and simply tie hair back into a loose knot or for a softer look; weave tendrils of hair through the band – this is one way to instantly update your look for the coming A/W season and beyond”
