Hair Styles How-to: The New Gatsby from NAHA

Feb 23rd, 2017

With the debut of hit movie inspired by F. Scott Fitgerald’s book, The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, I am proud to present my newest collection, The New Gatsby ... a 2013 NAHA Editorial Finalist!

Helen Oppenheim has always been a great predictor of fashions. She has been

a wonderful mentor to me as I have grown as an editorial stylist. She recommended I do a Great Gatsby themed shoot saying this would become a huge trend. Boy, was she ever right!

At her suggestion, I read the book, watched the movie and many movies of the era, and began doing tons of research. For more info on Helen, visit her website: www.HelenOppenheim.com

F Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.

I watched the 70's movie with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.

I researched makeup styles of the era. David Maderich did a wonderful job on the makeup!

This Versace ad was key inspiration to the layout.

Oh, how we all miss fabulous David Widjaja. He was a true genius.

He and Bobby Warden did a beautiful job on the wardrobe styling.

I colored Kaitlyn's hair.

I was inspired by JULIEN D'YS hair creations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit entitled "American Woman."

I cut, colored and styled wigs... and tried them out on myself to see how they would photograph.

Love the glitter-bob.

One bob was colored, cut and then crimped with aSam Villa Textur Iron. Lots and lots of prep was done before the shoot.
