Tapping into a world where the bullfight and the flamenco coexist in sartorial harmony, Phillip Lim described his spring 2009 collection as a "fresh take on Spanish dressing." But rather than accessorizing with an exotic flower pinned above the ear, Lim's models got a bun instead. "The look is very intricate, elegant, and sophisticated," says lead hairstylist Odile Gilbert, who drew inspiration from Eva Perón. "We are revisiting the '40s and giving it a more modern shape."
To achieve this "modern shape," Gilbert pulled hair into a ponytail just above the ear and divided the pony in half, wrapping each section around a small hair sponge. After securing the bun with pins, Gilbert sprayed Aveda Air Control Hair Spray to hold the look in place.
