Like the Mara Hoffman Show, I was afforded the opportunity to check out the make-up and hair backstage for David Tlale show. While backstage, I had the opportunity to speak (a snap a photo ) with celebrity hair stylist (to people like Rihanna and Taraji P Henson) , Ursula Stephen, about what she did to create the beautiful hair for the David Tlale ss 2015 show. A lot of texture was achieved by using the crimping iron, which Ursula says will be making a come back in 2015, and setting it with Motions hairspray. A single braid was added down the middle of the head as a nod to the African culture which David so proudly represents.
The David Tlale (pronounced Tal-le) can be described in one word, Breathtaking. If having the legendary, Tyson Beckford (who I bumped into backstage getting his make-up touched up), wasn’t epic enough, try having a collection that literally had you lusting after every single piece. The models, of every different shade and color, paraded down the runway with first, maroon and gold african printed garments and then, peach and orange looks. The vibrant colors and superb craftsmanship of each piece came together so beautifully to form a exquisite collection. David’s collection also encompassed a plethora of textures and fabrics such as silk, feathers, leather and even rhinestones which just heightened the level of excellence that is this collection. If you are as intrigued as I am by this collection check all of the pieces my Facebook Page (oh and while you’re there might as well hit that like button, just saying’) and also check out David’s website for his current collection.
