On Friday afternoon, I caught up with Quinn Richard, a stylist from Paris Parker’s Prytania Street salon, who was in the thick of things working backstage at the fall 2011 Nicole Miller show.
This is Richard’s second time doing hair at New York Fashion Week. He’s one of the team of stylists working with Kevin Ryan on a bunch of shows, including Richard Chai’s Love, Nicole Miller, Richard Chai’s men’s collection, Kevork Kiledjian, Tibi and Milly.
When I found him, Richard was smashed into a corner cluttered with styling products, straight irons and curling rods, working side by side with another stylist on a model, who was getting her makeup done at the same time.
The hairstyle for Nicole Miller was a “messy rock ’n roll” look, using lots of dry shampoo, Tigi styling products and Surf gel by Bumble and Bumble to get that not-washed feel.
“It’s sort of a dirty, just rolled in kind of look,” said Richard, who wielded a straight iron while he chatted about his experiences in the bowels of the backstage scene.
