Candice Swanepoel for Prabal Gurung Spring 2012 Ad Campaign

Sensual Flower

Prabal Gurung has snagged one of the world’s highest paid models for his latest ad campaign, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at her. Her trademark light locks now raven black, Victoria’s Secret model and Transformers:Dark Side of the Moon actress Candice Swanepoel writhes seductively, interpreting Prabal’s inspiration for this collection,  Nobuyashi Araki’s “Sensual Flowers”.

It’s a stunning set of vivid color on black and white, and makes the clothing look every bit eye candy as it did going down the catwalk.

Dress above is dress below, backstage.

I took great delight in the custom heels, also pictured in the ad

The creative team includes photographer Daniel Jackson, Fashion Editor/Stylist Tiina Laakkonen, and Frederic Fekkai’s Didier Malige

NYFW Prabal Gurung ss 2012 – Frederic Fekkai Hair by Didier Malige

Prabal Gurung’s models were sporting a slightly futuristic and a very DIY, wash-and-comb set for his spring 2012 collection.  The intent was to show confidence and feminine toughness, as if wetting the hair by splashing the face after a workout.

The celebrity heavy show was treated to ultra feminine frocks in violets, blacks, blues and whites.  To get Didier Malige’s look for Fekkai at home, follow these easy steps:

  1. Start by blow-drying hair straight, use a flat iron if necessary
  2. Mist water throughout the top half of the head
  3. Apply Fekkai COIFFTM Strong Hold Volume Mousse to wet hair to provide extra hold
  4. Use a fine comb to create a center part and comb the mousse through the hair resulting in a slicked-back look
  5. Spray Fekkai Advanced BRILLANT GLOSSINGTM Sheer Shine Mist over the wet hair for additional shine
  6. Use the low setting on a hairdryer to set the look while maintaining the sleek, wet effect created in the front
  7. Leave the bottom portion of the hair dry and natural
  8. Secure the look with Fekkai COIFFTM Sheer Hold Hairspray

Nicki Minaj. Wonder if she’ll try the look?
