Oh Efi! You never cease to amaze us. First you stun us with your intricate braids and woven masterpieces… and now this. A bouncy yet tamed style to perfectly match the fashion of the 70s textures for the Elle B Zhou SS17 show at London Fashion Week. Take a peek behind the scenes and see how Efi Davies created this look and the inspirations of Elle B Zhou behind it all… 

 



The Collection 
The inspiration behind the larger-than-life look was Elle’s beloved Grandma and a rerun of the flamboyant 70’s. It was this era which Efi Davies, International Artistic Director at TONI&GUY, channeled into the hair look. The statement prints have been amplified with big hair, which is fluffy and unstructured. The 70’s feel is enhanced with a strong and sleek parting, and big texture just above the cheekbone area.
 
 “The inspiration behind my SS17 collection was my grandmother and she always took caring for her hair very seriously. Her statement look during the 70’s was a bold and bouncy curl, always very big. It was important to me to incorporate her fun sense of style into the garments- big, fun statements of style with a 70’s vibe.”
- Elle B Zhou, Designer
