About this gallery:
Here is the latest info on all the looks and styles from the Toni & Guy Team at London Fashion Week. Most of these looks were created for the On/Off shows at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout stage.
Romeo Pires
The Collection
Summer Holiday, the paradox of the British who fly away for the winter to hotter climates and the 'backwardness' of its concept. High Volume dresses and jumpsuits, with a mixture of light and heavy fabrics.

Tim Furssedonn
Hair Inspiration
Early 90's simplicity - creating the reverse.
How To
Load the hair with volume mousse and blow-dry straight with a large round brush. Divide the hair into equal halves, then plait the back section to the head to create a base to support the graphic androgynous masks. Pull the rest of the hair forward, across the face and divide with the fingers to create a natural parting. Fix in a simplistic, natural knot below the chin, to create a pony-tail finish.
Must-Have Session kit
Hair polish, shine spray, large hot brush and magic fingers.
In Summary
"Impactful Juxtaposition."
Noir/Bllack Noir
The Collection
A moody collection of 'gothic black' and 'startling white', with glints of 'metallic'. Teaming leather panelling with floaty chiffon to give a contrast of textures and feminine silhouettes.

Hair Inspiration
'Young', 'fresh' and 'rocking'! A combination of three looks; long tumbling lengths with copious texture; a half-up, half-down and a DIY chignon. It is all about playfulness.
How To
Prepare the hair texture by blow-drying in volume Mousse and then straightening. Create a contrast of textures by using dry shampoo on the roots through to the middle of the length and then shine mist from the middle lengths to ends. For the chignon, a loose pony was fastened at the nape and twisted into a DIY shape.
Must-Have Session Kit
Label.m Volume Mousse, Label.m Dry Shampoo, Label.m Shine Mist, cushion brush, professional straightening irons.
