This season, Bumble and bumble takes us beyond backstage, to the hair test––where the final tweaks of the designer’s vision get set in stone. The best part? We're there to give you tips every step of the way so you can make the style happen for yourself!
To inaugurate the season, we met stylist Jordan M. from Bumble and bumble at Rachel Comey’s studio yesterday. There, we found out all about the 'do on Rachel’s Fall 2013 woman. (Check in tomorrow for our review of the FW13 collection!) "Rachel sent me inspiration images of the type of girl they had in mind for the show. She's not too young, she's pretty sophisticated, and she has great taste. She's the type of girl that you'd admire on the street not knowing exactly what she does, but you'd know that she's a professional,” said Jordan of the look for the show.
How did this manifest? In 27 unique brunette wigs, cut short and styled to give the girls that certain something. I have a sneaky feeling short hair is going to be a thing this season, but if you’re nervous about going for the cut yourself, check out how Jordan did it for every last girl on Rachel's runway without using one pair of scissors!

"There are 27 girls in the show and it's hard to find more than half a dozen wigs at any given shop. So I ended up riding around town on my bike just writing down who had what, and it actually worked out better than I thought! We got all the wigs, cut them, colored them, and styled them, and brought them back to the drawing board."––Jordan

Step 1: The wig wrap. "I use a little bit of thickening spray and styling lotion from Bumble to do a wig wrap. The great thing about this is that it will brush out, which is nice for the model––she has 14 castings today and I don't want to have her walk out looking crazy!"
